1.Prague: WWII Guided Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,030 reviews · 2h 30m · from $42Our pick

Meet near the Powder Tower for a 150-minute English tour of wartime Prague. Guides such as Pavel, George, Hannah, and Ottokar use old photographs and original artifacts to explain the Nazi occupation, Prague Uprising, and Operation Anthropoid before the moving cathedral crypt visit.

“The tour guide Otokar was excellent (apologies if this name is wrong) he was so knowledgable he made the tour extremely interesting. His intensity whilst explaining the subject matter was what kept everyone entertained throughout. His grasp of the important, niche areas of the history involved were fascinating. I felt totally connected to the period of history whilst following his anecdotes, in fact I wasn’t just following the tour I was 100% immersed.

“Don’t miss this tour!! Hannah, our guide was amazing. This tour was the best part of our visit to Prague. Hannah is so knowledgeable and communicates the history of Prague just prior, during, and after WWII. The Operation Anthropoid information was exceptionally done and made to come alive. Hannah shows pictures, has artifacts, and being a native of Prague, she is an expert in this area. If you are a WWII Buff as I am, this tour will explain things to you that you never knew before. A+++”
