Our tour guide Martin was extremely informative and passionate about the subject. His depth of detail was astonishing and the entire WW2 operation was explained in detail. Seeing and entering the location of the operatives last stand in the church crypt, and viewing the battle damage still evident amongst the memorial plaques was a powerful experience. This tour is ideal for history enthusiasts interested in the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.

We booked the tour in German at very short notice and it worked out for the next day. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very nice. There were only two of us and we could ask anything. There were good tips too. It's nice when the weather cooperates: it was cold but dry. And liked it very much.

Very humorous and informative walking tour of Prague. Our guide Peter was great company. The tour was excellent and timed well for the changing of the guard at Prague castle. We would definitely recommend the three hour tour, there is plenty to see and lots to hear about

Michaela was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide . I enjoyed a lot the tour that didn’t realise the 3 hours were finished . I would take the tour with her again! Thank you Micha!

Veronica was an excellent guide. Both myself and my 14yr old daughter enjoyed the tour.
