It was extremely well presented, interesting and informative. We enjoyed the break in the bar half way through which was very welcome
GERARD_M, Jun 2026
Learned a lot about WW2 in Prague and impact on Czechs, and Jews from our very passionate and highly knowledgeable guide. My son summed it up by calling the history haunting. You could feel it especially in the antropoid Crypt.
Vittorio_M, Jun 2026
It wasn’t what I expected the information was good from the guide but very disappointed at the end as he left us find our own way back to our hotel and we felt that was bad he should’ve taken us back to where we met him on the square
Alice_M, Jun 2026
Very informative tour with lots of stop off places which were very significant in Czech history. Hannah our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Czech history. It was hot and very busy so could be a challenge for some visitors in the group to stand or hear everything.
The break was very welcomed.
Could’ve done with better instructions re the meeting place. Maybe need to say guide will be next to Powder Gate waiting in the square with an umbrella. We were looking for the building number and an office/ticket booth.

Our guide was not only highly knowledgeable but also passionate about this history. It was a pleasure to go on this tour, though it is aimed at people with more than passing interest in Heydrich’s assassination and World War 2 in the land of the Czechs. A few people tired at the end but that could be the excellent craft beer that we drank during final lecture.
Lewis_F, Jun 2026
Interesting and informative tour guide , passionate about the subject and showed parts of history you would of just walked past
Marian_B, Jun 2026
Good information given by knowledgeable lady. Haf not.realised a lot of what she spoke.about in relation to the soxirt era
Dave_F, Jun 2026
Trip was very informative on the Czech history from 1918 to 1946. Lots of walking and talking. The only downside was the tour ended a ways from the starting point and the guide left us there. We had to navigate a unfamiliar subway system to find our way back.
Logan_K, Jun 2026
Hana was an amazing and funny tour guide! Would recommend, so many interesting facts. Seeing the collection of memorabilia was fascinating.
Phillip_V, Jun 2026

Catherine_B, May 2026
This WWII history tour was inspiring. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this event which meant so much to the country and the world.
Susan_G, May 2026
Paulo(Paul) is so passionate about this subject that it is quite obvious on his tour!! He is well-researched and has many personal artifacts that he will share with you! The story of the Czechs as they deal with the Nazis is riveting and you’ll visit the places that were tantalizing in the telling. Well done Paul!!
Mark_M, May 2026
Brilliant tour
Guide was really knowledgeable, not too much walking between stops. If you are into WW2 then this is a must
Barbara_N, May 2026
Tour leader was very knowledgable and passionate about both Operation Anthropoid and all things related to WWII. Must see the crypt and best early on in the experience as it explains in detail the sequence of Operation Anthropoid.
Vidal_C, May 2026
The tour was very interesting, thorough in the history and fascinating. It is about three hours so make sure you have good walking shoes.
Mahua_G, May 2026
Our guide had been amazing. Very passionately explained the history of Czech Republic leading Upto World War II and post that. I am leaving Prague with quite a good knowledge. Thanks
Mary_P, May 2026
Paul had a knowledge and passion for everything surrounding Project Anthropoid. A truly memorable experience!
Jason_T, May 2026
Tour guide was great and supremely knowledgeable! Very thankful for the education and insight into Czech WWII involvement. That said, be aware that there’s a lot of talking and history lesson on the tour and not as much “touring” around. Still great but set expectations, there’s sitting and listening that was half of the tour.
Marnie_K, May 2026
It was great. Hanna was very informative and had lots of information and family stories about the Nazi occupation and then the soviets after. She was very nice and it was nice to take a break and have a pop halfway through the tour. Also nice to take the tram instead of walking the whole way (I’m very tired!). Highly recommend.
Doug_H, May 2026
Interesting insight to what this nation endured during WWII, and there was terrific information regarding operation Anthropoid. The guide also had a briefcase full of interesting documents and pictures.
All stated, it was a lovely tour.
Paul_H, Apr 2026
Our tour guide was a local full of knowledge and we both really enjoyed this tour and got to learn some things we were unaware of.
Todd_J, Apr 2026
Very good. Guide was really informative. Nice pace of tour. Its a treat if you had the opportunity to see the movie. Some walking but not bad at all.
Norm_S, Apr 2026
The whole booking process was easy.
Our guide OTAKAR was very knowledgeable professional and passionate about the history and the way they delivered it.
Cecelia_B, Apr 2026
This tour takes 3.15 hours so be prepared for a lot of walking. Otakar Our guide was very informative and answered all our questions.
Richard_W, Apr 2026
A fantastic walking tour which highlighted lots of significant historical sites which I would not have found or been aware of otherwise. The guide was a brilliant and engaging historian. Thank you!
Rex_H, Apr 2026
Otakar was great! This was a very in-depth dive into how the second World War affected Prague, far more than just the background of Operation Anthropoid (although that was well covered as well). The places, documents, and items shown throughout the tour emphasized the effects of the war on Czechs from start to conclusion. So much more than just historical international politics!
COLLEEN_C, Apr 2026
Fantastic tour! It’s so much information about events that were very impactful during WWIi… and we didn’t even know it!!
Our guide Paul was sooo great. He brought the information to light with an enthusiasm that made you feel like you were there watching.
This was a tour chosen the day before and we were so glad that we did it!!
Thank you Paul for pulling us into the historic event that greatly impacted the war in Prague.
Alex_S, Mar 2026
My sister and I visited Prague for the first time and I was keen to learn more about the assassination of Heydrich at the hands of Czech resistance. The tour was eye-opening. Our guide was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the operation. You could tell be his detailed explanations and tone, that he cared deeply for the topic itself and how it was one of the proudest moments in his country's history. It was a harrowing experience, which made me feel like I was watching a historical documentary. Our guide made us feel so emotionally invested in the unbelievable sacrifices these men made. Highly recommended tour.
Graham_N, Mar 2026
This was an excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide who was very good at imparting a lot of information in any interesting way.
The tour was nearly 4 hours long, not 2 and half to 3 hours as stated.
George_B, Mar 2026
The best part of the tour is the visit to the crypt, I would suggest skipping the tour and going directly to the crypt..
