On the path of Operation Anthropid with Martina - What a day. We were collected from our hotel by Martina and her trusty Trabant 601. The day was spent at various sites around Praha with Martina explaining the importance of each location and the critical part they played in the Anthropid Operation, the aftermath and the Nazi reprisals. Martina's knowledge about the operation and the passion she displays in imparting this knowledge makes this tour very special and not to be missed. Her knowledge is only surpassed by her humour and irreverence. I cannot imagine doing to tour with someone else. The bonus was driving around Praha in "Paris", Martina's Trabant that I was fortunate to drive. A simply fantastic day. Děkuji Martina. Vychutnejte si Vegimite

Anthropoid tour wonderful experience - My daughter went on the Anthropoid tour with Martina recently.
It was a fantastic experience into Prague's WWII history and modern Czech resistance.
Martina, is a fantastic host and so knowledgeable and passionate about the subject whilst driving her beloved Trabant (I want one) to some unusual parts of the city, not seen on any other tours. She brought to life the stories of Czech heroes and the brave people who fought tyranny and oppression during that period of history. Some of the stories are heart-breaking but must be told and never forgotten.
The Trabant is brilliant and I had been in one before, but Martina did let me have a drive in this one, and absolute delight and the look on poor Martina's face was priceless.
If you want a truly memorable experience in Prague then take this tour.
Martina is amazing, a delightful person and very kind and thoughtful.
Thank you Martina
