5.00Great tour, our guide (I believe her name was Hana) was truly lovely and clearly enthusiastic about the subject. I’m very interested in everything war history so I found this tour exceptionally fascinating and informative - as well as sobering in regards to the 7 Czech war heroes who lost their lives. Tours aren’t allowed in the crypt itself, but I do recommend going in afterwards. Weather was roasting but the tour was still very much worth my time! 😁

3.00It wasn’t what I expected the information was good from the guide but very disappointed at the end as he left us find our own way back to our hotel and we felt that was bad he should’ve taken us back to where we met him on the square

4.00Very informative tour with lots of stop off places which were very significant in Czech history. Hannah our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Czech history. It was hot and very busy so could be a challenge for some visitors in the group to stand or hear everything. The break was very welcomed. Could’ve done with better instructions re the meeting place. Maybe need to say guide will be next to Powder Gate waiting in the square with an umbrella. We were looking for the building number and an office/ticket booth.
Excellent experience

4.00Overall I liked the tour. Lots of great information and new things I didn’t know about Prague during WW2. The reason it wasn’t a 5 star was we didn’t have headphones while she spoke. It would have made it much easier to listen in my opinion while being in the busy tourist areas. But overall I would recommend it if you enjoy history.
Our guide was not only...

5.00Our guide was not only highly knowledgeable but also passionate about this history. It was a pleasure to go on this tour, though it is aimed at people with more than passing interest in Heydrich’s assassination and World War 2 in the land of the Czechs. A few people tired at the end but that could be the excellent craft beer that we drank during final lecture.
Lots of information.
