I very much enjoyed this tour and thought that Marek did an excellent job of explaining our journey, the impact of the war on Prague and yet also took the time to answer questions and tailor the information to the interest of the group. My group was on the smaller side but this was fine. It gave us an opportunity... More

Marek was an excellent tour guide - knowledgeable, interesting, with a great sense of humour. We enjoyed hearing the stories he related about the Czech resistance and seeing many sites important to their cause. We got to see the secret rooms beneath the Town Hall, hear about the efforts of the British paratroopers in the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich and... More

This informative tour will teach you much about war-torn Prague and the effects of Nazi occupation. Taking us around some of Prague's landmarks where important events took place during World War 2, it always remained a captivating story - for sure, you won't be boringly checking your watch! Our guide Marek was clearly very knowledgeable and very passionate about the... More

I'm a World War II and European history buff, so I knew that I would enjoy this tour. I was worried about my companion though, who doesn't have any particular interest in such things, and indeed she hesitated before deciding to join me. But she ended up enjoying the tour almost as much as I did! You will see various... More

This tour was very informative. The tour guide Marek was very friendly, knowledgable and happy to answer any questions. The tour is around 2 hours and it flies by. It documents how World War II affected Prague in general and also gives you understanding and knowledge about the history of the Czech lands and how they ended up being quite... More

Martin's guided tour of significant sites of WW II interests is a must for history fans. I consider myself well versed in WW II history but I learned quite a bit more about Czech's occupation and Resistance. The details of the assassination of Reinhardt Heydrich were particularly interesting. The Czech people paid a heavy price for ridding the world of... More

Our tour guide Marek brought this tour alive. He displayed not only terrific knowledge but also managed to add touches of humour to such a dark topic. Places we had previously walked past took on a different meaning after this tour. His passion for his subject was obvious and his love of this amazing city real. This was a fabulous... More

Having become used to the free (tip based) walking tours in other cities, the WW2 tour seems rather pricy, but that is in line with other fee based walking tours in Prague. If you're not familiar with the WW2 history in Prague, then this is a good overview, and even if you've studied the subject, you may find some interesting... More

I'm not sure how Marek made WWII in Prague's story charming, but he did just that. My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, which turned out to be just us making it feel very VIP/behind the scenes. He described (and showed us photos) of some of Prague's darkest times and he is a living example of the Czech spirit... More

Did the tour today and our guide was Martin. The positives - 1. Very informative 2. The pictures Martin carries in a folder really helps to understand the devastation that happened and the comparison with the current location helps to gain some perspective. 3. The underground tour of the Astronomical Tower complex was enlightening. Did not know there was such... More
