4.00Our guide Ottocar was very knowledgeable. It was a good and informative tour. There are numerous pieces of memorabilia you get to see during the tour, including a gun from the time period. The crypt under the church is probably the highlight of the tour. It’s a not a funny or light hearted tour, but given the subject matter, it’s not supposed to be. Lots of walking and a tram ride. The ticket is included.
Just like the movie

4.00Great tour very informative. A basic grasp of the history of WW11 in Czech is required to fully enjoy and engage in tour .Guide Paul was very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic and knew a lot about the causes and effects of what happened in Czech during the war . I loved when we sat and Paul showed us the artefacts . It was a pleasure to be part of his tour.
My favorite tour of Prague

5.00Otakar was great! This was a very in-depth dive into how the second World War affected Prague, far more than just the background of Operation Anthropoid (although that was well covered as well). The places, documents, and items shown throughout the tour emphasized the effects of the war on Czechs from start to conclusion. So much more than just historical international politics!
Sooo interesting
