5.00We are glad we booked this tour thanks to our enthusiastic and well-informed guide, Hanna. She was passionate about informing us how WWII affected and disrupted the lives of Czech people, both before and after the crisis. We walked through some streets looking for the small memorial plaques on the sidewalk, remembering deported families by the Nazis. We ended the tour at the church where the seven resistance fighters hid for 22 days after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. Take the tour, you won't regret it. Hanna is fabulous.
Didn't meet expectations

3.00I felt like this tour fell a little short of expectations. I am half Czech so I love hearing about the history of Prague but this tour felt like it 'dragged on' a bit. The guide was informative but the break in the medieval underground felt too long & a lot of the artefacts and materials were not passed around to all the tables or explained. This was probably the most disappointing part of the tour. Some of the information spoken about was hard to follow. A film about Operation Anthropoid was referenced a few times which we haven't seen so it was hard to understand the relevance. We enjoyed the parts when the guide would show a picture of Prague under occupation against the backdrop of the modern location. The crypt at the end is really interesting but this is to be explored on your own without the guide anyway and would have been free to enter on your own. Overall, I would describe this tour as average for the price.
It was ok but nothing...
