OVERVIEW:
Embark on a profound 7-hour journey through Prague’s WWII history with this tour dedicated to Operation Anthropoid and the Czechoslovak resistance. Led by a knowledgeable guide, this extended exploration takes you to significant wartime locations, starting with Lidice village, tragically destroyed by Nazi forces in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. You’ll visit the museum and memorial in Lidice, where the village’s story is told. The tour also includes a stop at Ďáblice cemetery, where victims of WWII and Communist oppression are buried in mass graves, and the Kobylisy shooting range, where resistance members were executed by the Nazis. At Heydrich’s Curve, you’ll stand at the exact location where Heydrich was assassinated in 1942. Additional stops include the “Girl with Bicycle” monument honoring a teenage resistance supporter, and St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral, where Heydrich’s assassins made their last stand. The tour concludes with a visit to the National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror, including a tour of the infamous crypt where the final battle took place.

“Very knowledgeable guide who provided a very informative personalised tour. Martina was easy to deal with and went out of her way to ensure that I had a tour packed with many highlights. I will definitely be doing another tour with her in the future. It was certainly worth every cent. Awesome!”

“I went with a group of friends, one of whom has previously been to Prague and had enthusiastically spoke about what a great guide Martina is, and he's absolutely right. Martina's an enthusiastic, engaging, and knowledgeable guide who's very passionate about the history of Prague and Operation Anthropoid. You'll have fun while learning a lot about an incredible moment in Word War II/Prague history. Highly recommended, and already thinking about our next visit to Prague where we will no doubt book another tour with Martina's company.”

“Again. Martina delivered a great tour. We opted for the Operation Anthropoid. I’d recommend watching the film if you decide to go. Anyway it was great way to spend several hours in Prague and learn about this incredible piece of history. I honestly had no idea of the incredible bravery that each and every one of these men carried out. Truly humbling. Martina was extremely knowledgeable on the history and I would not hesitate to recommend her service.
Thank you so much. We enjoyed the drink afterwards and look forward to seeing you in the future.”
