Loved the Operation Anthropoid Tour - Pavel was great, answered our questions and gave a great tour. Tour was fully walking and included a short tram ride to the church. Some steps and basements, all part of the tour.

Highly interesting and informative tour with a wonderful guide, Hannah. Thank you - A very interesting tour made all the more enjoyable by our guide, Hannah. If you knew nothing about WW2 and the impact it had on Czeck before the tour, Hannah impárted lots of information in a very clear manner such that we were definitely more informed. It was especially impactful when she was able to relate the post WW2 communist regime and its effect on the Czech people, in many cases dividing families, still divided to this day. The stop off to view the documents, medals etc was very interesting. All in all, a great tour- would highly recommend to anybody interested in WW2 history

Excellent tour and fabulous tour guide - Our tour with Hannah was fabulous. She was very, very knowledgeable about the history of Prague and WWII. She was able to convey the trauma of that period of history and yet the pride of the Czech people. Thank you Hannah for explaining all of the events to us and helping us understand the significance of this period in the history of this beautiful country.

An amazing experience - Went on this tour, guided by Anna, last week and it was simply fantastic. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the history of Prague is mind blowing. I learnt so much and am still processing it a week later. We learnt about "Prague's war" generally and in depth about Operation Anthropoid. I quite genuinely would come back to Prague to do the tour again.

One of the best historical tours that you could possibly participate in - Our tour guide was Anna and she was superb. She gave us a comprehensive background history lesson so that we could all understand and appreciate the situation within the then Czechoslovakia. She kindly arranged for us to have a break within a cafe in which she provided water and a restroom if needed. She provided historical documents and stories putting them into context. She had acquired tram tickets for everyone so that we could visit the church where the paratroopers were in hiding and eventually took their own lives rather than surrender to then be tortured. All the time, there was the correct amount of sensitivity and respect. I can't recommend this tour enough. We felt very fortunate to have been part of it
