★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,030 reviews · 2h 30m · from $42Our pick

“Otokar gave us a brilliant tour. He was passionate and explained the history extremely well, going into a lot of detail but all relevant and not too much detail. Visiting the church and the crypt was particularly special. The way he explained the events around Operation Anthropoid enabled us to gain a full appreciation of the heroic sacrifice that the seven men who died made.”

3.Small-Group World War 2 & Operation Anthropoid Tour in Prague

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 231 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $33

Walk central Prague with guides such as Allen, Daniel, Dana, or Martin, linking Nazi occupation sites to Operation Anthropoid, the Prague Uprising, and the resistance. The tour ends at St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral and its atmospheric crypt. Expect about three hours of walking, standing, and serious history.

“The guide, Martin, was intent and earnest but it was an endless monotone of facts. He announced it would be 3 hours and after the first 15 minutes of standing in one spot trying desperately to hear and not be distracted by the number of times he said “um” was impossible. Im sure he knew a lot and was trying hard but it was so boring. We bailed out after first 20 minutes and went to the Crypt ourselves where there was a thorough and interesting exhibit that needed no guide.”

“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.”
