This trip was one of the highlights of our weekend in Prague. Jacob, our tour guide, was excellent. He was knowledgable and enthusiastic about the history of WW2 in Prague, and did not make us feel like it was a rush to complete the tour. Really enjoyable tour and very well worth the time.

Highly recommended Tour ! This was our first trip to Prague and thanks to our tour guide, Marketa, we learned so much about World War II and its effects. Marketa relayed the information in an understandable manner while bringing the events of that period alive! Thank you to Marketa - this trip is a MUST and worth every penny !!

This was by far the best history tour I’ve ever been on. Jakob our guide was brilliant. A mine of information both past and present. He went into great detail and answered all questions with assurance. Good sense of humour too.

I was pleasantly surprised by this tour. Hannah was a knowledgeable and interesting guide. I knew very little about the operation to assassinate Hedrick, but I feel I have a good working knowledge of the resistance in Prague during WWII. It was fascinating.

Me and my girlfriend took the tour.I found the majority to be basic history and having a degree found it boring. It had little to do with ww2 for the most part due to a lack of action that happened in the city. Thankfully half way through we were able to slip off without giving any money (16 pounds) in comparison to the city walking tour which touched on ww2 and communism, it was poor. Even the communist museum without a guide was more informitive.

Found a leaflet advertising this walking tour in the hotel. Just turned up - no need to book - and we were the only people on the tour that day. Meet by the Powder Tower near Republic Square and look out for a person with a black umbrella. Our guide was Sonia and she was very well informed and personable. The tour is around 2 hours long and covers various areas of the central city including the Jewish quarter. Her knowledge was extensive and we were able to have good discussions about various aspects of World War II. It certainly improved our knowledge of the history of the city at that time and clarified a number of questions we had. Fabulous tour of the tunnels underneath the Town Hall which was used by the Resistance in part as a hospital. Highly recommended.

We had treated Prague simply as a holiday destination and didn't give any thought to the history of the place until we did this tour with Martin.
Martin is a 3rd year civil engineering student who has a real passion for his country and it's 'recent' history. He made the WW2 history come alive so much so that my wife enjoyed it too, and that takes some doing!
The tour fittingly ends in the crypt at Church of St. Cyril and St. Methodius where the Czech patriots who assassinated natzi Reinhard Heydrich met their violent end.
We came home home and the first thing I did was to order the DVD of the 1975 film 'Operation Daybreak' which tells of the assassination.
My recommendation is go for it and you'll appreciate Prague and its people even more!

Saw a flier for this in the hotel Lobby and 3 of us decided to do this during the Saturday morning at 1000am. We met our guide, Jacob, at the Powder Gate. Look for someone holding a black umbrella (there are lots of tour parties here at this time but he was the only 1 with a black umbrella). Jacob was very friendly & welcoming & set out the plan for the mornings activities.
Tip for you- try to make the morning tour as it was just the 3 of us so we got a personal tour for 2 hours. Jacob advised that the mornings tend to be on the quiet side whilst the 1400pm slots tending to be very busy
Jacob started off by explaining the situation of the country before WWII, which led to the way the country was sold out by the western allies (we felt like apologising!) and subsequent occupation, the Czech resistance, Heydrich's assassination and what happened after the war was over all aided by historical photos whilst taking in the city's amazing architecture.
The tour takes you under the astronomical clock tower in to the tunnels and subterranean rooms used by the Czechslovak resistance which was quite frankly, amazing.
As tour guides go, Jacob was awesome! very engaging, friendly & knowledgeable, very good English, and was more than willing to answer any questions about the tour, Prague in general and was eager to provide recommendations for our time in the city. He also shared our love for beers so what's not to like!?!
Another tip - after the tour, visit st Cyril & Methodius cathedral to see The memorial & crypt - a great recommendation by Jacob!
You could tell Jacob had a genuine interest in the topic and his story-telling was enhanced by personal family stories from the occupation... Easily 1 of the best walking tours I've ever done! Thank you Jacob!

In only two hours, our guide, Jacob made us travel through time while visiting Prague. In fact, his speech was very interesting and he sounded very passionate about the country’s history. Jacob doesn’t forget either to add some jokes and interactions. I am glad that I chose this tour. It’s definitely a must !

This was a great way to understand how difficult it must have been for the Czech people during the Nazi occupation. Jacob was our tour guide and he was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and easily able to adapt his presentation to our interests. We learned about so many things that we would have never known if we had not been shown by a local guide. We even got to see the maze of tunnels and caverns under the Astronomical clock used by the resistance that aren't generally accessible to the public. Sensational tour and guide!!

Price is 600Kč (500 for students), tour starts at 14:00 but I'd get there 10-15 minutes or so sooner, just so you can find the guide and meet the other people on the tour :)

When I went on this tour last week, we paid at our Hotel, who gave us a voucher, which we gave to the guide at the end. Several people tried to pay at the start, but the guide politely insisted on being paid at the end. We paid 600kcs per person.
Hope this helps, and have a good trip.
We would like to do the tour today or tomorrow but don't know where the meeting point is. Where so we go?
