Outstanding WW2 & Operation Anthropoid tour with Jay: value for the money with all the knowledge gained! - Our WW2 & Operation Anthropoid tour with Jay was outstanding--5 star+. The value for the cost of the tour given the amount of information Jay provided, was a worth while investment! The tour lasted almost 3 hours and Jay provided so much more information than we expected. Our group size was about 25 people and Jay kept all of us engaged with information, answering any questions we had and was mindful of the weather for us as it was particularly hot that day. The tour is best for anyone interested in learning minute details about WW2 that you might not have know and shows you parts of Prague where these events occurred. There is a lot of walking involved but every step was educational! When we arrived at the crypt for Operation Anthropoid, we felt well prepared with all the other information that Jay had provided during the initial 2- 2 1/2 hour walking tour. Everything was relevant and Jay's knowledge just flowed so that it was understandable to all. This tour was very worth it for our time, money spent and knowledge gained....amazing tour and highly recommend!

Op Anthropoid - Initially my partner and I thought that the tour was a bit pricey and were slightly abrasive when going into it. However, our guide made sure we definitely got our monies worth woth the tour. We were taken to various spots around Prague and shows many different pictures. The personal collection was the highlight of the tour - getting to see and hold a variety of historical artifacts was sensational.

Trip was very informative... - Trip was very informative on the Czech history from 1918 to 1946. Lots of walking and talking. The only downside was the tour ended a ways from the starting point and the guide left us there. We had to navigate a unfamiliar subway system to find our way back.
