Visit the church of St. Cyril and Methodius where the seven heroes of our story died. Enter crypt, see the church and its surroundings. Learn there about the whole story of Anthropoid operation - why it came to it, what was the historical development in Czechia in 1930s and ´40s and how exactly the operation Anthropoid happened.
As a second stop come to the curve where the assassination of Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich happened. Remind yourselves again what you have just learnt at the crypt - how the assassination happened. See the surroundings, curve, and highway today.
The third stop of the tour is Lidice memorail out of the city, near the Prague airport. The drive takes arpx. 20 min. Village Lidice was completely burnt to the ground by the Nazis as a revenge to assassination and death of Reinhard Heydrich. Visit the memorial which is a large meadow today.
For history buffs of World War II, this is a must-do in Prague. The trip delivered EXACTLY as advertised. Lenka was our guide and she was fantastic. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the narrative fun by both asking questions to assess our knowledge as well as providing her historical input. The tour was very well done and we could not recommend Lenka more.

Very well organised and interesting. Our guide Lenca was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and made the experience memorable.
Lenka is an extraordinary guide! She was so knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much and really enjoyed the entire experience. Hands down one of our favorite tours we have done in Prague!
A life long student of WW2, I was somewhat knowledgeable about Heydrich and the entire Anthropoid history. My tour guide was not only an expert at her descriptions and history, but was a very agreeable woman whose vast life experiences lent a great deal to her job well done. This was a tour well worth the cost.
Lenika was above and beyond the best tour guide for this experience. She knows and shares the history in a relatable and interesting manner. She is a story teller. We knew very little of Anthropoid, the curve or Lidice before our tour, but she brought it all to life for us. I highly recommend this tour!! We all should remember what happened to people because of the Nazis.
What a great tour! It was so interesting and Lenka was a great guide! We really enjoyed our day with her and would highly recommend this opportunity to learn something new about WWII History as it relates to Prague and the Czech Republic. A must do!!
You learn so much more than you might have seen in the movie. Lena was a wonderful tour guide who gave a tremendous amount of detail on the Anthropoid operation. The visit to Lidice was eye opening.
The experience is heart-rending, tragic and a demonstration of mankind's almost unbelievable capacity for cruelty. The setting is idyllic but the reality is deeply disturbing.
Full storey from the background of the mission to the location of the assassination of Heydrich to the drama that enfolded and the brutal consequences of this mission
If you’re interested in the story of Heydrick and his assassination in Prague during world war 2, this is a must do tour. The tour includes an extended visit to the three major sites—the actual location of the attack by the assassins, the church where they hid and were later discovered and died, and the former town of Lidice, which the Nazis destroyed in retaliation for the attack. Lanka, the tour guide, provides transportation to the location of the attack as well as to Lidice. She provides as much background information as you need at each stop. There are wonderful memorials at each location. A wonderful day!
Visiting the actual sites of the events with private guide and driver feeling like we were reliving history and having personal one on one time learning the complicated history of Czech Republic
Lenka is extremely knowledgeable and a great guide. This tour was enriching, and contextualised and gave so much insight into Anthropoid and surrounding events.
Had an amazing tour with Lenka who was an encyclopedia of facts about Operation Anthropoid and its aftermath. Even my teenage son was very interested in the tour and it takes a lot to capture his interest. I highly recommend this tour!
Lenka was an amazing storyteller! She brought the whole historical event alive. Sharing the events, moment by moment. We started at the church where the heroes were found. Ledice is not far from Prague. If you study WW2 history, or want to learn more, book this tour. We all agreed it was the best tour of our trip so far!
Awesome tour! Super interesting and being able to see other locations including the lidice and the curve was a must. The tour guide was great and so nice and knowledgeable!
I was thrilled to see everything. The Heydrich assassination point, the church where the team was killed and the town of Lidice. Eva is an extraordinary storyteller. This tour exceeded expectations. Four stars.
A very interesting and memorable tour which really added to our interest in the story of the Anthropoid operation. The guide gave us time to take it all in and it was interesting hearing about Czech culture on the journey too.
Was a fasinating tour. Our tour guide was brilliant and so knowledgeable about the whole Anthropoid story. Enjoyed it whole experience.
Eva was an outstanding tour guide! Not only is she knowlegeable of Anthropoid, but her sharing of her experiences growing up during soviet control of the Czech Republic was extremely interesting and of value to us. This was a tour we will not soon forget. She made it memorable.
Our guide was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable - she is clearly a subject matter expert. The tour was exactly what we hoped for - we enjoyed every minute.
Lenka was our guide for this tour, she was fantastic! Her english was excellent and she was very passionate about the history. She explained operation Anthropoid in a very good way because this operation isn’t known that well. I can really recommend this tour with Lenka
Viewing the Lidice memorial was an especially memorable experience. And visiting the curve provided some perspective on how difficult of a job the paratroopers had to do.
Very interesting tour that focuses on an event that happened during WWII. My husband and I enjoyed this tour. Including explanations and visit to the area of town where the assignation of Heydrich Reinhard happened, the church where the soldiers were hiding from the Nazis, and the small town of Lidice. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We recommend this tour if you are interested in WWII.
If you are interested in the history behind Operation Anthropoid, and the following horrific events at Lidice, this is the tour for you. Tons of history packed into one morning, great guide Barbora, very knowledgeable.
Jacob was an amazing tour guide, very very knowledgeable. He gave us additional information that did not pertain to the tour and places to see.
Lenka, my guide, was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She is highly educated and her English is impeccable, so she is able to clearly convey the subject matter in an understandable way. Also, she has the rare ability of knowing when to talk and when to allow you to soak in what you're hearing and seeing in silence. I highly recommend Lenka and this tour.
A well paced,interesting glimpse to the past. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. An added bonus was a Russian Orthodox wedding at the church.
We visited St Cyril’s and the crypt below which was a moving experience then on to Lidice to round the trip via the old bend in the road were the assassins struck.Great knowledgable guide and a great trip if your into the war
This tour visits three sites: the location where Reinhardt Heydrich, the Butcher of Prague, was assassinated by resentence fighters; the church where the Resistance fighters took shelter and died; and Lidice, ones of the villages that was destroyed in Nazi reprisals. Operation Anthropoid was a very significant event in Czechoslovakian history and the Resistance members are national heroes. Lenka is very knowledgeable and her English is excellent. She gave us plenty of time to see what we wanted. We highly recommend this interesting and worthwhile tour.
I took this excellent private tour with Lenka. We visited the church where the Czech paratroopers made their last stand, the actual site of the Heydrich assassination ( this is not on many tour itineraries) and the haunting village of Lidice where the Nazis took out their vengeance. Lenka was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the sites - she gave me time to look at things on my own as well as provided information on each site. An excellent tour with the perfect itinerary for those interested in the Arthropoid operation. I would highly recommend if you are interested in this part of WWII history!
Going to Lidice and seeing the statues of the children was terribly moving. Our guide Lenka was knowledgeable and accommodating.
It can be hard to visualize how historical events have unfolded, but this tour actually gives you a first hand look at where events involving the Operation Anthropoid took place and the horrific aftermath for the town of Lidice. Our guide, Lenka, was well versed in this historical event and was able to answer all questions.
<p>This is about an event that not enough people know about and should. The guide was amazing and brought this event to life for us. Do not miss this tour!</p>
Vraiment très intéressant. Un moment important de l'histoire de la 2nd guerre mondiale s'est produit à Prague. Le courage et le patriotisme de ces hommes forcent l'admiration.
