Extremely competent guide

Dennis_C, Apr 2026

A life long student of WW2, I was somewhat knowledgeable about Heydrich and the entire Anthropoid history. My tour guide was not only an expert at her descriptions and history, but was a very agreeable woman whose vast life experiences lent a great deal to her job well done. This was a tour well worth the cost.

Lenika was above and...

Denise_B, Jul 2025

Lenika was above and beyond the best tour guide for this experience. She knows and shares the history in a relatable and interesting manner. She is a story teller. We knew very little of Anthropoid, the curve or Lidice before our tour, but she brought it all to life for us. I highly recommend this tour!! We all should remember what happened to people because of the Nazis.

Do the tour even if you’ve seen the movie

Steven_H, Jun 2025

You learn so much more than you might have seen in the movie. Lena was a wonderful tour guide who gave a tremendous amount of detail on the Anthropoid operation. The visit to Lidice was eye opening.

Lidice--never forget

Elaine_S, May 2025

The experience is heart-rending, tragic and a demonstration of mankind's almost unbelievable capacity for cruelty. The setting is idyllic but the reality is deeply disturbing.

Anthropod

stephen_k, Apr 2025

Full storey from the background of the mission to the location of the assassination of Heydrich to the drama that enfolded and the brutal consequences of this mission

Wonderful tour of Heydrick assassination sites!

FrankH_D, Oct 2024

If you’re interested in the story of Heydrick and his assassination in Prague during world war 2, this is a must do tour. The tour includes an extended visit to the three major sites—the actual location of the attack by the assassins, the church where they hid and were later discovered and died, and the former town of Lidice, which the Nazis destroyed in retaliation for the attack. Lanka, the tour guide, provides transportation to the location of the attack as well as to Lidice. She provides as much background information as you need at each stop. There are wonderful memorials at each location. A wonderful day!

Awesomely enriching

Will_S, Oct 2024

Visiting the actual sites of the events with private guide and driver feeling like we were reliving history and having personal one on one time learning the complicated history of Czech Republic

Highly recommended, insightful tour

Anthony_T, Jul 2024

Lenka is extremely knowledgeable and a great guide. This tour was enriching, and contextualised and gave so much insight into Anthropoid and surrounding events.

Sad event needs to be remembered

Joanne_R, Jun 2024

Lenka was an amazing storyteller! She brought the whole historical event alive. Sharing the events, moment by moment. We started at the church where the heroes were found. Ledice is not far from Prague. If you study WW2 history, or want to learn more, book this tour. We all agreed it was the best tour of our trip so far!

Brilliant tour guide

Gina_E, Nov 2023

Was a fasinating tour. Our tour guide was brilliant and so knowledgeable about the whole Anthropoid story. Enjoyed it whole experience.

Eva's historical Anthropoid tour; A rare and intimate glimpse into a turblent time in Czech history.

Barbara_B, Oct 2023

Eva was an outstanding tour guide! Not only is she knowlegeable of Anthropoid, but her sharing of her experiences growing up during soviet control of the Czech Republic was extremely interesting and of value to us. This was a tour we will not soon forget. She made it memorable.

Excellent Tour!

Ernest_M, Sep 2023

Our guide was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable - she is clearly a subject matter expert. The tour was exactly what we hoped for - we enjoyed every minute.

Super guide Lenka!

caroline_I, Apr 2023

Lenka was our guide for this tour, she was fantastic! Her english was excellent and she was very passionate about the history. She explained operation Anthropoid in a very good way because this operation isn’t known that well. I can really recommend this tour with Lenka

Wonderful tour

Gary_J, Sep 2022

Viewing the Lidice memorial was an especially memorable experience. And visiting the curve provided some perspective on how difficult of a job the paratroopers had to do.

WWII tour

Beverly_E, Sep 2021

Very interesting tour that focuses on an event that happened during WWII. My husband and I enjoyed this tour. Including explanations and visit to the area of town where the assignation of Heydrich Reinhard happened, the church where the soldiers were hiding from the Nazis, and the small town of Lidice. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We recommend this tour if you are interested in WWII.

Perfect Lidice tour!

The Dye F, Oct 2019

If you are interested in the history behind Operation Anthropoid, and the following horrific events at Lidice, this is the tour for you. Tons of history packed into one morning, great guide Barbora, very knowledgeable.

Tour was fantastic

lobonm2003, Oct 2019

Jacob was an amazing tour guide, very very knowledgeable. He gave us additional information that did not pertain to the tour and places to see.

Awesome Tour!

Brandon_C, Sep 2019

Lenka, my guide, was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She is highly educated and her English is impeccable, so she is able to clearly convey the subject matter in an understandable way. Also, she has the rare ability of knowing when to talk and when to allow you to soak in what you're hearing and seeing in silence. I highly recommend Lenka and this tour.

Fallen Heroes

Maria M, Sep 2019

A well paced,interesting glimpse to the past. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. An added bonus was a Russian Orthodox wedding at the church.

Haunting history lesson

Carol S, Jun 2019

Going to Lidice and seeing the statues of the children was terribly moving. Our guide Lenka was knowledgeable and accommodating.

Visual History

Anita J, May 2019

It can be hard to visualize how historical events have unfolded, but this tour actually gives you a first hand look at where events involving the Operation Anthropoid took place and the horrific aftermath for the town of Lidice. Our guide, Lenka, was well versed in this historical event and was able to answer all questions.

This is about an event that not...

Cathleen_S, Jan 2018

This is about an event that not enough people know about and should. The guide was amazing and brought this event to life for us. Do not miss this tour!

Anthropoïdes

Laurent_L, Dec 2024

Vraiment très intéressant. Un moment important de l'histoire de la 2nd guerre mondiale s'est produit à Prague. Le courage et le patriotisme de ces hommes forcent l'admiration.
