A WW2 must while in Prague - Excellent and fascinating time spent with our guide exploring this part of WW2 history. The scene setting, story telling to bring the era and impacts to life were very well done and with the aid of pictures it was easy to follow the events. Time spent looking at artefacts was well worth it, giving the time again to explore in detail the events, ask questions and gain a good understanding. Following a short ride on a tram to the church to look at the scene where the final outcome for the operatives who carried out the assignation. The memorial was well done, appropriate tone and mix of detail. Only disappointment was that we never had a chance to thank our guide Paul for the excellent tour because by the time we exited the memorial he had left. Thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about these events.

Great History Tour - This tour was perfect for the history buff wanting to know more about the effects of WWII in Eastern Europe, specifically, Czechoslovakia. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was easy to understand (accent wasn't too heavy). He showed the group photos and artifacts within the sites themselves which set the stage for a more relatable/meaningful experience.

Good guides, lots of walking. - There is a part of the tour where you walk 500 meters inside a fortress through a poorly lighted narrow hallway. That was not pleasant. Our guide was good, and the guide inside the fortress was even better. Some of our party were Spanish speaking, but the guide at the fortress spoke Spanish even though our main guide did not.
