Operatie Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in detail
Beschrijving
Deze tour biedt een uniek perspectief op wat er gebeurde tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en het Tsjechoslowaakse verzet. De punten zijn zorgvuldig geselecteerd om een heel ander en echt Praag met zijn communistische buitenwijken te laten zien. Trabantauto's zijn klassieke socialistische voertuigen en er zijn maar weinig steden in Europa die met dit soort voertuigen toeren. Deze is bijzonder omdat het de geschiedenis en de absolute moed van patriotten verbindt die zich zowel tegen het fascisme als het communisme verzetten, maar ook onverwachts verraden werden door de naaste. De rondleiding is privé en wordt gegeven door een gids met een vergunning, maar ook een enthousiaste, gepassioneerde patriot die de nagedachtenis van lokale helden waardeert. Rondleidingen voor 2-3 personen worden georganiseerd in Trabant 601, 1-3 personen in de nieuwe Skoda-auto, 4 en meer in een minibus of bus!

Het is mogelijk om ook het panorama van de Praagse Burcht te zien vanuit de auto op weg naar de 1e halte
Engelssprekende enthousiaste gids zal de klanten rondleiden in de St. Cyril en Methodius-kathedraal, wijzen op de plek waar lichamen werden geplaatst voor identificatie nadat de strijd voorbij was, de crypte bezoeken waar een tentoonstelling van artefacten en foto's is en alles uitleggen wat hier is gebeurd op 18 juni 1942.
Engelssprekende gids zal de klanten naar de St. Cyril en Methodius Kathedraal brengen om de klanten interessante punten te laten zien, waar het laatste gevecht plaatsvond en de geheime toegang tot de crypte, evenals hoe het nazi-leger in de laatste minuten naar beneden naar de crypte kwam. Tegenover de hoofdingang is een traditionele Tsjechische pub genaamd "At the Paratroopers", waar elke deelnemer aan de tour een traditionele shot Becherovka-drank krijgt.
Klanten worden naar de Dablice-begraafplaats gereden om het massagraf te bezoeken van Tsjechoslowaakse patriotten die door nazi's zijn vermoord.
Op de schietbaan Kobylisy zijn tegenwoordig veel Tsjechoslowaakse patriotten van het verzet door nazi's neergeschoten als gedenkteken voor de slachtoffers. Engelssprekende gids zal zeer unieke en interessante verhalen vertellen over andere para-groepen en mensen in het verzet, over minder bekende maar nog steeds buitengewoon moedige daden en hun absolute inzet om het naziregime te weerstaan!
Klanten worden dichtbij het Operation Anthropoid Memorial gereden, waar de moord op Heydrich plaatsvond op 27 mei 1942. Engelssprekende gids zal klanten niet alleen rondleiden en oude foto's laten zien hoe de beruchte Heydrich-curve er destijds uitzag, maar neemt je ook mee naar een verborgen mooie lokale pub voor een pint Tsjechisch traditioneel bier. Na het opfrissen worden de klanten teruggebracht naar het stadscentrum.
Op de terugweg naar het stadscentrum passeren klanten het Bulovka-ziekenhuis in Praag 8, waar Heydrich werd meegenomen direct na de moordaanslag en waar hij ook stierf op 4 juni 1942.

I really loved this tour. Martina was extremely knowledgeable and informative. I couldn't have enjoyed the experience more!
Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m very happy you enjoyed the Operation Anthropoid tour. It was a pleasure guiding you through the key sites connected to the Czechoslovak resistance. Operation Anthropoid is a subject very close to my heart, and I’m always grateful when guests connect with the story of Jozef Gabčík, Jan Kubiš, and the brave people who helped them. Martina
We did the WWII Operation Anthropoid tour in Prague with Otto. He was absolutely outstanding — so passionate about the subject and able to keep it fascinating throughout, even in the cold weather. Otto brought history to life, showing us the exact places where key events happened and then sharing historic photos so we could truly imagine what it looked like under German occupation. The visit to the crypt, where the parachutists made their last stand and tried to dig their way to freedom, was incredibly moving. Also was the story of the lady who while interned at a concentration camp made sure the children had drawing materials and then stashed their drawings in a suitcase. You can see these drawings in Prague today. Otto’s storytelling was clear, detailed, and full of energy — my 16-year-old son was completely captivated, as were we all. Otto really made this tour what it was. Suggestion: With winter coming, it might be nice to begin the tour in a nearby coffee house — perhaps even charge a little more to include a drink — so Otto can give the initial 20 minutes of background somewhere warm before heading out. This tour delivered a LOT for the price.
I did two tours with Martina. Both were great. One was a full-day Operation Anthropoid tour that included a visit to Lidice where I saw the location of the destroyed former town and the nearby resurrected town built in 1949. I met a daughter of a woman who survived the massacre and deportation to a German work camp. I also saw relevant sites in Prague including the Cathedral Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius. An excellent tour with an excellent guide for this history buff. The second tour was a shorter tour - around 2-3 hours. We visited Vyšehrad and walked around the castle grounds and had a coffee at the end of our visit. It was like having a friend show me around the grounds. Martina was kind enough to drop me off at the Army Museum at the end of the tour. I was very pleased with my time spent with Martina, and it was well worth the cost. She is very personable and very interested in sharing the history of Prague, but also in sharing how people live in Prague, the Czech Republic, and neighboring Slovakia. An excellent guide!
Dear Dave it was lovely to tour with you and I was especially pleased that I could bring you to New Lidice and house 116 where you met original Lidice lady Verka - guide of the house. Again thank you for chosing me as a guide for this topic and will be looking forward to some more tours in the future when you visit :)!
The Operation Anthropoid tour was fantastic! Martina is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about this topic. She made it so much fun to learn about such a heavy topic. I recommend this tour to everyone!
Thank you so much for your kind review and it was a pleasure to show you around and share with you as much as possible about our Czechoslovak heroes! Hope to have your crew back in Prague soon!
Martina our guide had tremendous knowledge, passion, and communication skills to express this topic. Her spirit was a highlight of our stay in Prague!
Thank you so much for your kind review it was my pleasure to take you around!
Excellent trip. In depth knowledge and fantastic to be at the sites where it happened. My wife who accompanied me with little knowledge wants to go on more military history trips!
Hi Chris thank u for the review and glad u enjoyed hopefully we will earn 5star for the next trip :)!
Spending the day with Martina was like being shown around by an old friend. She is so lovely and very knowledgeable. We had an amazing day with good food thrown in. Martina told us so much history that we wouldn't have otherwise known. Highly recommend this tour as a must do when you visit Prague.
Hello Karen, thank you so much for your kind review, it was great to spend a day with you guys and show you all around connected to Czechoslovak resistance! Hoping you come back for some more tours in the future! Stay in touch! Martina
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
Dear Kevin, thank you for your kind review! It was absolutely great to tour with you, we have more new exiting WW2 tours and trips so hope to have you back in Prague soon!
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.
Hello Paul! Thank you for your review its greatly appreciated and pleased to hear you had a good time!
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. Cheers
Dear Nick, Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was great to have you on a tour again, I think 6 or 7th during the years! Glad I could have done with you this new WW2 project and that you enjoyed Operation Anthropoid off-the-beaten-tracks!
