Wealth of information - Extraordinarily knowledgeable guide 10/10 I’d rather have no one else leading this tour. We started off with a brief back history that gave me a different perspective than I’ve heard in past tours/ through my own findings

It was so educational and... - It was so educational and everyone in my group was prepared for this and wanted it. The guide was remarkable. I don’t know if there is anything he does not know about the role of Czechoslovakia, Poland, Germany, etc. in WWII. Such a gift and we are so glad he shared it with us.

WW2 History Just Waiting to be Uncovered - Hanna, our tour guide had knowledge and insight about Czech history and WW2. The stories about how her grandparents survived the war were of particular interest. This tour rounded our visit and gave us a better understanding of Czech history. I recommend it to all visitors and encourage those on the tour to ask as many questions as possible because that is where the most unique and interesting tidbits lie, just waiting to be uncovered.

Interesting and informative - A worthwhile tour of old town with an overview of the Prague political involvement during ww2 and overview of operation anthropoid. I especially enjoyed the Anthropoid heroes museum at the end.

A nice walk and lecture - Really more of a lecture interspaced by a good walk. It was interesting but the sites covered by the tour did not enhance the lecture. As I recall, we saw monuments related to the British and Czech cooperation during WWII, Jewish memorial stumble blocks, a few buildings from the outside, and the lack of a building that was damaged during the Soviet liberation from the germans. (Of course, you saw the basement that the sabotage/assassination Anthropoid mission. The Prague Spring was also discussed.
