A lot of detailed knowledge about operation Anthropoid - Wow! Our guide Pavel know so much about the subject, we got to learn about the operation in so much detail. He took us to some key sights ending with the memorial in the crypt. Tram travel was included as well. Cannot fault this tour.

Definitely a must do while in Prague! - We visited Prague from Ireland in July of 2024. Our tour guide George was just brilliant. George is so enthusiastic and informative. I even mentioned to him that it was obvious he loved his job. The tour was so interesting. 5 out of 5 rating from us!

Great tour - The tour was great, we got to see some really cool documents from the period of occupation in prague as well as receiving very good information from our guide. The crypt from operation anthropoid was very interesting and told us much more about the people involved, but be aware that guides aren’t allowed into the crypt so if you want to learn more about the operation specifically you will have to do some reading. The walk through the city was wonderful and informative and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in world war 2.

Interesting tour - An interesting tour, but not the best guide. Unfortunately our guide was hard to understand because of her accent, and she did not explain things well for people with no background.
