The guide was extremely knowledgeable. He is passionate about passing on what he knows. He took us to a little restaurant that was closed and we filled a room of tables while he shared more stories and trinkets and photos from the war that he had collected. We really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.
This tour was FANTASTIC. If you're interested in WWII history, you have to do it! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much.
The WWII in Prague tour was great. It was quite interesting to visit Old Town and learn about Operation Anthropoid. Seeing Crypt and Bomb Shelter was the best part of the tour. However, in some places it seemed that the guide was moving a little faster, so I did not get a chance to hear all the information well. The group was also a bit large, so the guide was not always clearly heard. It was a good experience to learn about history.
Very informative. I gained some insight about how the Czech people were affected and the country harmed by the invasion by Nazi Germany.
It was extremely well presented, interesting and informative. We enjoyed the break in the bar half way through which was very welcome
Our guide George was fantastic I don’t usually use social media but he was so good I wanted give him a review He was knowledgeable and entertaining
Learned a lot about WW2 in Prague and impact on Czechs, and Jews from our very passionate and highly knowledgeable guide. My son summed it up by calling the history haunting. You could feel it especially in the antropoid Crypt.
Great tour, our guide (I believe her name was Hana) was truly lovely and clearly enthusiastic about the subject. I’m very interested in everything war history so I found this tour exceptionally fascinating and informative - as well as sobering in regards to the 7 Czech war heroes who lost their lives. Tours aren’t allowed in the crypt itself, but I do recommend going in afterwards. Weather was roasting but the tour was still very much worth my time! 😁
