This was a fantastic walking tour around Prague taking in plenty of sights and lots of places of historic interest that wouldn't be spotted by the casual passer by. Pavel was a great guide with lots of knowledge who happily answered everyone's questions and passed on his extensive knowledge of local history. Overall this was an excellent, and very moving, tour learning about this dark period in Czech history.
Anthropoid is little known in the US and this tour helped us learn about the bravery of these young men
The history is really interesting and puts things in perspective. I went with family but i do think the younger ones will be bored if they are not history buffs. I enjoyed the stories
Very worthwhile- our tour guide Hannah was exceptional. Very informative and knowledgeable, moreover very passionate.
Our guide, Hannah, was extremely passionate and knowledgeable. The tour flows fluidly with various stops and a quick tram ride to the crypt where Operation Anthropoid concludes.
This trip was very well done. Historical, but told in such a way that it captured your attention for the all three hours.. highly recommend. We ended up going to some places, but I don't think we would've ever uncovered on our own.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable. He did an outstanding job of bringing history to life. Would do the tour again

After spending a few days in Prague touring the magnificent buildings, parks, bridges and listening to ancient histoey, this tour made us travel to time to a more recent story that greatly definesnthe Checz nowadays. George was an amazing storyteller that moved every fiber of emotions inside of us. Thanks for such a personalozed tour an experience. We learned and touched many details that were key to this Prague experience.
Our guide George was excellent. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He took us to all the listed sites and described the events that occurred.
Wow!!!!!! This tour is one of the best I have ever done. Our tour guide Otakar, was absolutely amazing. Our guide was so passionate, knowledgeable, engaging, he was amazing. What I learned about the war, and about the courageous Czech's, will live with me for ever.
If you are a history buff, and trust me, I was not. You will learn so much, and appreciate this beautiful country and what they had to sacrifice to survive.
It was a wonderful tour! The guide was so knowledgeable and she provided such insight to the history both from a political and military standpoint. We saw some amazing things and learned a ton about Prague and its vast history. The World War II impacts on the city and its area and the takedown of the only high ranking Nazi by assassination were intriguing seeing the church and the crept where the battle raged was so unreal.
Very informative. Would definitely recommend especially if you want to take a deep dive into history, something that gives context to current day Prague and a deeper appreciation for this proud country.
Informative of operation anthropoid
Brilliant history of Prague and its time under communism and ww11
Very good tour, you see a lot of the Old City as well. The guide was great, very knowledgeable. You do a lot of walking.
This is an amazing, interesting and profound tour of the history of Operation Anthropoid and includes much Czech history of World War II and the communist error. Hanna brought these important stories to life. It culminates with a visit to the church where these brave men hid out and fought against the Nazis. Inspirational and tragic. A must do!
The tour took longer than expected but was well worth it. It also included a subway and tram ride to others areas of importance as well as a pleasant surprise at the end of the tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable wrt to historical information and the sites we visited.
Guide was excellent. Incredible knowledge about everything. Pictures shown where things happened compared to current buildings was interesting
Excellent guide and itinerary, the best to understand the decisions and choices made at the time that affected the Czech population and their time under the Nazi regime.
Otakar was our guide and he was fantastic. He really had a passion for the history and made the story come to life. This tour was amazing and I had no idea about this important piece of history. Highly recommend.
Lots of interesting info, but it was a little slower than expected. Lots of standing or sitting around listening and looking at pictures. Also went 3 hours and I expected 2, and 2 would've been more appropriate as well. But the tour guide was very knowledgeable and you could tell he was passionate about it as well, as a local who has been effected by this history.
Until the crypt there is not much to see. A few plaques and gold stars on sidewalk.
So it is the narrative of the guide that makes this worthwhile. She did a phenomenal job.
We also the tavern rest break with pictures and a beer.
Very interesting tour! There is so much history about WW2 in Prague. Really enjoyed Hanna. Thank you!
Pavel the guide was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the pre WW2 era and resistance movement during the war.
An excellent experience. The guide was exceptionally well prepared and respectful throughout the tour. Very recommended
Hannah was an amazing tour guide. We had a group of 4 total and she was so kind giving everyone her attention and answering our questions to the fullest. In total it lasted 3 hours. We walked around the city, stopped for a beer (compliments of the tour!) and got to hold artifacts and then hopped on the tram (ticket included with tour) to go see the crypt. Overall would 100% recommend to anyone looking to really understand the history of Prague during WW2 and why this beautiful city still stands today.
It was a great way to see the city and learn about its history! Would highly recommend for anyone interested in WW2!
Absolutely incredible tour! Our tour guide knew an incredible amount of history and presented it in a compelling and informative way. The tour was about 3 hours and 15 min- not too much walking and there is part in the middle where you are seated for about 30 min. Had the chance to see and hold artifacts which were chilling and added even more to the experience. Highly highly recommend
The guide was extremely knowledgeable. He is passionate about passing on what he knows. He took us to a little restaurant that was closed and we filled a room of tables while he shared more stories and trinkets and photos from the war that he had collected. We really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.
It was extremely well presented, interesting and informative. We enjoyed the break in the bar half way through which was very welcome
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.
