“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.”
