Very interesting tour with a passionate guide. If you are interested in WW2 you will enjoy this. You are taken around the city and taught about it's history, Prague has a very different experience in WW2 to other European countries.

The tour lasted for around 3 hours and gave you a real insight to what happened in WW2 in Prague. Our guide showed us landmarks and things that you would normally walk past all of which told a story. When we got home we watched the 2016 film Anthropoid and could relate to everything the guide showed us.

An incredible tour made unforgettable by an outstanding guide! She was warm, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable, with an infectious enthusiasm that brought the experience to life. It was a captivating journey into Prague’s unique WWII history, blending a stroll through the charming old town with visits to the real-life locations of Operation Anthropoid. The artefacts from the occupation era and the visit to the café’s UNESCO-recognized medieval underground dungeon were absolute highlights. As someone already familiar with Operation Anthropoid, standing in the church and crypt where the resistance hid and fought their final battle was profoundly moving and fascinating.
