4.Half-Day WWII Prague Walking Tour

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

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.”

5.Kutna Hora Half-Day, Incl. the Bone Church & St.Barbara Cathedral

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 63 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $58

Travel from Prague to Kutna Hora in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide. See the remarkable Sedlec Ossuary, decorated with human bones, visit Gothic St. Barbara’s Cathedral, and walk through the medieval center. The six-hour outing includes admission, but not food or drinks.

“The bone church and Kutna Hora are both worthy of a day trip if they bare your interest. However, you might be better served finding a different method of transport. While the tour was lovely, Kutna Hora is way too lovely of a place to just tour through without enjoying. The Bone Church is awesome, just don’t go for the photo-op since you won’t be allowed to take photos inside. This is the first of a dozen excursions I have done in Europe that didn’t quite live up to my hopes.”
