To do! - Very well with a lot of explanation about the war and the presence of the Germans in Prague. We did it with an English guide who was great!

Enjoyed following some footsteps in history. - E.njoyed the tour, it was a part of modern history I did know much about. I had seen a film about Operation Anthrapoid, but did not understand the greater significance.

A very interesting tour. The guide had a very detailed knowledge - Very interesting and told us more detail about Anthropoid. Has inspired us to watch the film. Was a very cold day but was pleased to go into room above cellars to warm up. Artefacts were interesting. Visit to church where shoot out took place was moving.

Didn't meet expectations - I felt like this tour fell a little short of expectations. I am half Czech so I love hearing about the history of Prague but this tour felt like it 'dragged on' a bit. The guide was informative but the break in the medieval underground felt too long & a lot of the artefacts and materials were not passed around to all the tables or explained. This was probably the most disappointing part of the tour. Some of the information spoken about was hard to follow. A film about Operation Anthropoid was referenced a few times which we haven't seen so it was hard to understand the relevance. We enjoyed the parts when the guide would show a picture of Prague under occupation against the backdrop of the modern location. The crypt at the end is really interesting but this is to be explored on your own without the guide anyway and would have been free to enter on your own. Overall, I would describe this tour as average for the price.
