5.00If you are a WWII buff this tour ties in the main focus to eliminate German SS officer Reinhard Heydrich, the butcher of Prague. Our tour guide Daniel specializes in history and covered events from the end of 1918 through 1945. I highly recommend taking this tour with him.
Very interesting and rewarding tour

5.00As someone who is very interested in this period of history, and in particular Operation Anthropoid, this tour did not disappoint. Our tour guide Allen was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and provided a background to how we ended up going to war in the first place, and later the plan to assassinate Heydrich. He told the story, much of which is quite upsetting in a very human way, and in a way which my wife (who isn't necessarily a world war 2 enthusiast) found very interesting and easy to follow. The tour culminated at St Cyril and St Methodius church where Czech paratroopers (2 of whom carried out the attack on Heydrich) hid in the crypt, and were eventually betrayed. A very sombre place, but a privilege to visit and pay respects. A highly recommended tour.
A memorable tour with deep and lasting impressions.

5.00Our guide, Allen, is not only deeply passionate about the subject but also exceptionally well versed in both the historical context of the events that preceded the Anthropoid story and the complex details of the story itself. He connects at a most human level with his guests and is a delightful individual to spend time with. An excellent and moving presentation. Well worth the time and money. We will hopefully see him again one day in Prague.
If you’re a fan of history this tour is a must. Daniel was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable.

5.00For all enthusiasts of WW2, this is a must. The tour concentrates on specifics regarding Operation Anthropoid, thus you can learn something new even if you have a broad knowledge of WW2. Daniel does a great job explaining those specifics.
Operation Anthrapoid - reliving the events.

5.00A very worthwhile educational experience. After initially setting the WW2 scene, Dan took us through the full picture of the planning, build-up and execution of Operation Anthrapoid, the repercussions and events following. He was sure to follow the events in chronological order which helped to in some way relive the events of the time. An excellent tour led by a knowledgeable and experienced guide. Thank you Dan.

5.00Very interesting tour, our guide Dan is very knowledgeable and his English was very good. Not only did he explain a lot of things related to the tour. He also pointed out some things for us as we were walking around, which made it even more interesting. He’s an extremely nice young man and bright the history of World War II alive for us.
