Mobile ticket
The bloody terror, introduced to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in early autumn 1941 by Acting Reich Protector SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, was responded among representatives of the Czechoslovak foreign resistence in London with the decision to prepare the assassination.At the very end of 1941, a group called ANTHROPOID was parachuted to the Protectorate with a task to liquidate Heydrich. On May 27,1942,Czechoslovak paratroopers, Jan Kubis and Josef Gabcik, completed this most significant act of resistence, performed during World War II. They wiped from the World not only the hated killer of the Czech nation, but also a man, who fulfilled the most freakish project in human history, the man who was an architect of the Holocaust.

Excellent Anthropoid tour

5.00Our guide Petr was very knowledgeable. Petr's driving was fairly conservative making us feel safe. The sites visited were very interesting and involved the exiled Czech's governments successful attempt to kill the top Nazi in Czech along with the self-sacrifice of the Czech troops who accomplished the assassination. Petr knew his way around the town.
Operation Anthropoid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00Paul was our guide for the tour and he was great! Very knowledgeable and gave us a proper insight into Operation Anthropoid . The tour was roughly 2.5 hours during which we got to see genuine photos and documents of wartime Czecoslovakia , visiting the crypt you could imagine the fear of those brave men fighting for their country. Very sad , we would recommend this tour 100%..thankyou

5.00Patrick was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide who explained the history through a narrative in time through each stop. The order of the tour is fantastic, and helps explain how everything unfolded. We didn’t know much about the history before the tour; we are so glad we did it. Highly recommend!
An incredible experience we will never forget!

5.00Had recently watched the movie “Anthropoid”, so was really looking forward to seeing the actual sites depicted in the film. Our guide, Petr, truly brought this history alive with his thorough knowledge and skilled delivery of historical information during our tour. The visit with Petr to Litice, just outside of Prague, should be a must for any stay in Prague. Very moving and a beautifully constructed remembrance to the victims of the aftermath of Operation Anthropoid. You’ll also visit the location/museum where the Nazi “Butcher of Prague” resided. The actual location of the attack on him by the brave Czech/Slovak paratroopers is also shown. The final stop will take you to the actual church in Prague, where the final stand occurred against their Nazi pursuers. We could not have asked for a more friendly and professional guide and host for this 5 hour tour than Petr! He even dropped us at an amazing Czech restaurant he recommended (at our request) for lunch, that we would never have known about on our own. Thanks again Petr for an experience that we will never forget. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00We had no idea what were were in for as our tour started. In late 1941, Operation Anthropoid was established. On May 27, 1974, British trained Czechoslovakian paratroopers Jan Kubis and Josef Gabsik were tasked with assassinating the 3rd highest raining Nazi, SS Obergruppenfuher Reinhard Heydrich. The story of what happened should be part of every visit to Prague. There are a few movies on the events. Operation Anthropoid and The Killing of Reinhard Heydrick to name 2.
Anthropoid Tour Top Notch

5.00Fantastic time with Roman. Learned a ton about the sorry time in Czech history when we visited Lidiće. The crypt was amazing. Van was comfortable and air conditioned and it was a hot day. Roman was great company as well. Lucy Tours comes through again!
