- AutumnHill230 contributionsPerfect tour to start our tripPavel was a great guide with a passion for history and all things spooky. He was a great storyteller as he led us through old town and the Jewish quarter. This was the perfect tour to kickstart our time in Prague and learn about the darker side of the city.Written October 1, 2024
- immacolatar3300 contributionsLearned a lot of history about PragueThis tour was perfect to learn some history about Prague. We were lucky to have Allen as our guide. His is full of knowledge regarding the history of beautiful Prague. Allen made this tour interesting and enjoying for us. We had lunch in an old pub also a very informative small boat river cruise. We also had a wonderful tour around the Prague castle. Definitely recommend this tour.Written September 12, 2024
- Paradise605948777780 contributionsGreat way to see a lot of Prague sightsThis was a great tour for our short visit to Prague. It fits a lot in and we really enjoyed hearing from a local and learning more about Czechia and its rich history. The only improvement would to maybe include admission into the cathedral when at the castle but otherwise we all loved it. Thanks so much to Vojta. He was a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable and approachable.Written September 12, 2024
- Flyer413607443160 contributionsNice tour guide, detailed tour!We initially thought it was going to be a Jewish walking tour only, a fault on our behalf, given the obvious title! However, we were really glad that we could gain such a comprehensive history of Prague, from an entire city perspective and a Jewish one also. Allen, our tour guide, was particularly nice, delivering the facts in a clear, concise manner, and answering all the questions we had with a great degree of knowledge. By showering us in facts and a complete chronological history of the city, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the trip. A pleasurable morning, and a very helpful experience.Written September 8, 2024
- GoPlaces2942150 contributionsAmazing tour with knowledgeable guideSuch an amazing tour with Allen. There were only three of us, so it was very easy to stick together and hear everything. Allen’s level of knowledge of the city is phenomenal. He went into great depth explaining everything we visited. His explanation of the Astrological clock was impressive. I really enjoyed the tour. Thanks Allen for such a great experience.Written September 8, 2024

We are truly disappointed. We really enjoyed the ghost tour but this time we felt like the company doesn’t care about our money. We reserved for 2 and because we didn’t get an email confirmation we paid again and so we booked it twice without any confirmation. After that, they said we were refunded for both reservations and we need to pay again, without any proof that it got canceled, it doesn’t show on our credit card app. Then they took the money again. For this mistake and the lack of actual answer from the company we should have gotten full refund for both reservations. I do not recommend dealing with this company.

Dear Michael Graf,
I, was dealing with your case personally. First of all I feel disappointed myself that you are rating our customer service with one star although your case was solved within 2 hours and I started dealing with your case immediately.
Let me put this straight:
1. You have made a double payment, it was not our fault. Email confirmation is sent automatically by the system to the email you have entered while you had registered. If you did not receive it you either entered your email incorrectly, or it fell into spam folder, or your internet connection was not perfect at the time of booking and your confirmation came a bit later. There was no reason to panic to make the second purchase. A bit of patience I would recommend!!
2. Once we got your email we proceeded the refund of the doubled reservation. Unfortunately, the system refunded both payments at the same time. Whole situation was communicated with you directly over because you were still on the tour and it took me 2 hours to get through the Bokun channel manager support to sort that out. You could have come to our office after the tour if you had felt that we took your money, but you did not. We have not received any email from you that the money were missing in your account up to now so I am pretty shocked by your review. If you still feel that we took your money please send us an email and proof that your money are missing and we will look into that.
3. Lastly, you were doing World War 2 tour not the ghost tour as you state in you review so I am a bit confused. Since you have difficulties to remember which tour you were doing with us then your whole experience you are describing maybe a bit overexaggerated. We certainly appreciate the customer's reviews when they are contructive and we can improve our services based on that. In your case, we have done maximum to help you, we did not apply 24-hours cancellation policy and we immediately went ahead to refund that because we assumed it was purchased twice by a mistake, and you are still unsatisfied. Well, some people are never pleased.

Our tour guide Dana was exceptional with her knowledge about this topic and anything else we asked about. Very professional, spoke English very well, moved at a moderate pace and made sure we all heard the information. It was a three hour tour about a subject that I really wasn’t too interested in but was captivated by her talk. Well done Dana.

Our tour was amazing. Our guide Petr was really kind and the tour was the best. All that he talked to us about and all the places he showed us were really interesting and fascinating. He knows a lot about Prague, about the WWII and about the operation Anthropoid. He is a native from Prague and he speaks very good English. The tour was awesome. We would 100% recommend it if you love history and if you want to know more about Prague.

A wonderful tour of Operation Anthropoid which exceeded all expectations. There were some cancellations beforehand but Dana thankfully decided to guide the tour just for myself ( been interested in this story for quite a while) Lots of interesting information about WW2 Prague culminating at the magnificently preserved museum at St Cyril’s and Methodius, scene of the final siege of the paratroopers. There is even an inn across the road which also serves as a memorial, and great food and beer of course. Thank you Dana for all the info and chat, it made my trip.

This tour was really amazing, it is in my opinion very well structured and our amazing guide Petr was very open and answered all of our questions. You get to know spots in the city a tourist would never find. He even gave us some extra historical information that were not related to the war. It is 3 hours as it says, and I thought it would be really long but it wasn't, time flies because it's really interesting. Petr gave you a lot to think about and always explain many theories and not always only one. I personally love that because we can not know what exactly happened. He speaks perfectly English so everybody understands. I would recommend this tour because it was really interesting and touching. If you are interested in history and even only watched a few movies as Operation Anthropoid you will have the feeling of going thru it.
Thank you Petr and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Especially the visit to the orthodox church, where the operation against Heidrich found its unlucky end for the assesinators was quite impressive.
Very good tour guided by DANA.
For participants: dont forget to wear good shoes it lasts 3 hours.
By the way also very intresting the buildings which are testimonies of jewish live in Prague.

Fascinating tour of the main sights of Operation Anthropoid during WWII. Only myself and my daughter, so the guide was very helpful and full of local and historical information. Tour took about 2.5 hours and did involve a lot of walking, which was fine, but might be difficult for some. We learned a lot about Prague during the Nazi occupation and saw buildings that we would otherwise not have known about their history and use during WWII.

Our tour guide Daniel was brilliant. He was so informative, excellent English and really brought the story to life when he was showing us the sights and pictures too.
We love history, and clearly Daniel does too. If you like WW2 history this is a great trip.
My mum is 80, and was slowing a bit, so Daniel thoughtfully got us a tram to our last tour-stop, rather than walk and waited with us to get our taxi back to our hotel.
Great tour, great bloke, would highly recommend.

The young lad who done the Sunday afternoon tour was incredible, the knowledge he had was amazing everything we asked he could answer, knew knowledge off the top of his head meaning he wasn’t reading off the iPad notes there was full engagement. Would definitely recommend to people wanting to do the tour. Also walked through Prague allowing you to sight see different areas.

Written September 9, 2019
We bought our tickets online and then it tells you where to meet for the tour at Týnská 627/7 and then the tour finishes at the crypt under the Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral. But it is not a straight walk from start to end, they take you to the building where the men from operation anthropoid stayed, to the old gestapo police head quarters and the gestapo jail before heading to the cathedral.
