2.Half-Day WWII Prague Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 68 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $47Top rated

Spend about 3.5 hours tracing Prague’s WWII story with guides such as Michal, Jack, Honza, or Martin. Walk through Old Town, visit the church crypt linked to Operation Anthropoid, see former Nazi offices, use public transport, and pause at a local café. The route is detailed and moving, but cobblestones and a quick pace demand good mobility.

“Exceptionally good tour and guide. Jack is a font of knowledge, answers every question in as much detail as you want. Walked a lot but had a nice mid-tour break, with continued info. The pace is fast, and route is very extensive so I don’t recommend it for those with difficulty walking, especially over the cobblestone streets. Loved the tour.”

A similar tour in Budapest was much better, with both a driver and a tour guide.”
