Explore Prague’s gripping WWII history with a passionate local guide and Czech historian Jiri Kluc, author of numerous books on WWII and 20th century history. Dive into stories of bravery, resistance, and resilience that shaped the city during the Nazi occupation. Discover the chilling reign of Reinhard Heydrich, the 'Butcher of Prague,' whose assassination marked the highest-ranking Nazi ever killed in WWII.
Follow the daring footsteps of Operation Anthropoid—this is the only tour in Prague that takes you to the actual location of the assassination, where the story unfolded. You’ll also visit the Parachutists’ Church and see unique bullet holes. Learn about the 1945 Czech uprising, Nicholas Winton’s rescue of 669 Jewish children (as portrayed in the movie One Life), and the dramatic, mistaken American bombing of Prague.
Walk by former Gestapo headquarters. Join this unique walking tour, and let history come alive with every step.

5.00Excellent tour. The history of Prague during WWII is of great interest particularly Operation Anthropoid so I was very keen to do this tour and Jiri was a great guide who really knew his stuff. He had a good sense of humour too which we appreciated.

5.00Excellent tour! Hana is super friendly and very knowledgeable. She spun the story of WW2 and resistance in Prague while taking us all around the city. I highly recommend booking this tour! It‘s easy to follow if you don‘t come with a lot of preexisting knowledge on the topic, but even if you‘re heavily into history, you‘ll still learn new things, and you‘ll see some places you might not know to visit otherwise.
Excellent start to our time in Prague!

5.00We had a wonderful morning with Hana! It was our first tour on arrival in Prague, and it helped us better understand the rest of what we saw in the week that followed. Hana took exceptional care of our family and filled the time with just the right amount of history, as well as some general tips and information. We enjoyed spending time with her. We have a keen interest in WW2 history, and this tour did not disappoint.
Travel back to time in Prag

5.00We really enjoyed our trip, when we learnt a lot about WW2 in Prague, specifically about Operation Anthropoid, but also about the history of the city and the country since then. Hana is very knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for history and for her country, but she is also a really lovely person, very warm and friendly. She went out of her way to put our group at ease and was so good at including us all and making it a very personal trip. Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you Hana.
A must for history buffs

5.00The tour was exceptional. Our guide Hanna was very engaging, knowledgeable and open. A fantastic guide through some dark parts of history but always a reminder of the human cost. Our family had a brilliant time. Thank you.

5.00Our highlight of a trip to Prague and would highly recommend. Hanâ was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour hugely informative, really interesting and added a lot of detail surrounding the historical background to the Czech Republic. I couldn't recommend the trip and Hanâ as a guide enough.
