    “George” was so knowledgeable, passionate, and educated about his subject matter. It is a great history lesson for those that desire to know more about the Czech experiences of the past. I would definitely recommend this tour.
    So Much I Didn’t Know About Czech History.
    Donald_H, May 2024
    George was super-knowledgeable about Czech history, you could ask any question and he would be able to come up with good details. I was moved by the church cellar where the paratroopers were trapped. Great tour, I learned a lot
    Informative walking tour. I recommend!
    Michael_Y, Apr 2024
    Hannah was excellent in explaining the annexation of Czechoslovakia at the onset of WWII. Her narrative and our walking tour was informative and interesting. This was a great way to fill in that part of WWII history I previously hadn't learned about.
    Anthropoid tour

    Very Interesting tour! The guide was professional, and at the same time gave her personal point of view, which in my opinion makes the tour mooving. My intention is to join this tour once again, whem i come back to prague.
    Excellent tour
    Allister_W, Mar 2024
    This was an excellent walking tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable on the subject. The amount of walking wasn't too excessive and the guide even provided the tram tickets . A very interesting tour about the occupation of the country and operation Anthropoid.
    Our guide Pavel...
    ANDREW_F, Mar 2024
    Our guide Pavel (pictured) was excellent and very knowledgeable about the subject and also the historical and cultural backdrop to the Czechs’ relationship with Germany.
    A great tour guide..,.but!
    Lynda_G, Mar 2024
    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. Her history of Wartime Prague was second to none. The tour was very educational, the only fault (which is no reflection on our guide) is it was very expensive for what it was. The church is free to enter and it could be done a lot cheaper than the company charged.
    Excellent tour
    Claire_L, Feb 2024
    Very enjoyable tour with a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. The visit to the church and the crypt was the highlight, really brought the tour to life. Highly recommended
    Enlightening

    Eric_B, Jan 2024
    What a wonderful way to spend a few hours in Prague! If you enjoy history, this is a must see. The tour guide was fantastic and brought the story of Operation Anthropoid to life.
    Knowledge and Passion
    Tracey, Dec 2023
    All of the knowledge and stories that our guide shared was fabulous. She has a real passion for telling the history behind the movie and the events.
    Insightful tour.
    Frances_C, Dec 2023
    Enjoyed getting to understand a deeper insight in to the facts around operation anthropoid, especially after seeing film operation crossbow and the more recent iteration.
    Fantastic Tour thanks to Hannah
    Kevin_R, Dec 2023
    Our Tour was fantastic, we were 25 mins late due to 2 cancelled taxis because of snow . Hannah our guide kindly waited. . Hannah was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging . We really liked looking through the old memorabilia and hearing the stories affecting occupied Prague . To see the Crypt and church was a fitting way to end a brilliant tour . I think the only way they could top it was showing where the assaination took place of Heydrich . Not sure if it’s too far out ?? Nethertheless 5/5 well done Hannah !!
    Great tour, breathtaking artifacts
    Keith_L, Nov 2023
    Pavlov was an excellent tour guide. He took us to many of the key points of WWIi Prague and explained all in thorough yet succinct detail. What blew me away, however, was the part of the tour where Pavlov took us to a beer place and brought out a suitcase of artifacts from this time period. What kind of artifacts you say? How about a yellow Star of David worn by Jews during Nazism. I recommend this tour.

    Really interesting and informative tour. Would recommend this tour. Just needed some sheltered locations for the initial talk if the weather is not good. But was still really worthwhile. Bunker and crypt part of the tour very informative.
    Great half day tour
