If you are interested in world war 2 and the story of operation anthropoid then this is an excellent tour. The guide was very informative and gave you a lot of information on the build up to the war and the detail of the operation. It was interesting to see some of the original memorabilia and by the time to reached the crypt you were well informed of the whole story Jane

Our guide Ottakar has made our tour both enjoyable and entertaining, he used visuals to illustrate his speech which came across as exceedingly clear, therefore we highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in WWII history.

Brilliant tour with Anna today. Small group of 8 so we could all hear and ask questions at will. Anna’s English was excellent and she was so passionate about the history of Prague and its inhabitants during WWII, she taught us so much. Highly recommended.
