Superb, interesting tour - Excellent tour telling a terrible but vitally important story in way that both captivates and horrifies the listener. Otto was a brilliant guide who clearly loves his work imparting the story. Visiting many of the most important places of WW2 history in Central Prague with trips on the metro and tram to cut down on some the walking. This was 3h15 of our time so well spent and definitely worth the money. Thank you Otto for making history come alive in such an engaging and human way.

An insightful tour for anyone interested in WWII history. - Very interesting and informative tour with our guide Pavel - who was clearly very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Nazi occupation and Operation Anthropoid. As this was booked for a keen WWII historian I was unsure how much we might learn - but the Czech insight was fascinating backed up with Pavel’s extensive personal collection of original photos and official documents. A tour well worth doing!

Must do!!! - Our tour guide was extremely informative and conversational, and added a lot of context and nuance to descriptions of Prague/Czech history before and during WWII. The tour was paced really well, and we were able to notice and learn things walking that we would’ve missed otherwise. This absolutely added to our understanding and experience of Prague as a whole and left us feeling grateful and inspired. It was very easy to find our tour guide, and it started and ended on time.

Great historical insights - First it's important to point out that this is 3hrs and 15mins and not 2.5hrs as advertised but the time absolutely flies by. A really fascinating insight into the Czech Republic during WW2, including a tram ride and well deserved sit down water and toilet break a few hours in where you get to see some real artefacts from the war. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting to chat to. Highly recommended if you want to understand some of the nation's history.
