Guide was amazing!
5 star! Amazing! Honza (Jack) was so knowledgeable. Hubby is the historian, however it was absolutely an eye opener for me. Jack was so relaxed and approachable in terms of any questions whatsoever!

A Fantastic Look Into History
Great way to get an understanding of how WW II impacted Prague. We visited the locations where events took place and our guide was prepared with pictures and the history. Our guide, Matt, was incredible. He went out of his way to cover for the initial day and time we had scheduled as the initial guide got sick. He was fantastic.

Michal was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable
Great experience. I learned things I never knew before. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in WW2 history

Outstanding WW II tour and guide.
Exceptionally good tour and guide. Jack is a font of knowledge, answers every question in as much detail as you want. Walked a lot but had a nice mid-tour break, with continued info. The pace is fast, and route is very extensive so I don’t recommend it for those with difficulty walking, especially over the cobblestone streets. Loved the tour.

Jack was an excellent...
Jack was an excellent guide and we highly recommend him. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about WWII and how it affected Prague. We were highly engaged in his stories the whole tour.

There is not a lot of WW...
There is not a lot of WW II history to see in Prague. Most of the tour was focused on the assassination of Eichman. The tour was good but it only needed to be 2 hrs at the most.

Excellent tour long but enjoyable

Amazing knowledge and superb afternoon.
From the moment we met our guide Jack (Jan) Honza , we were at ease and amazed at his knowledge and enthusiasm for our tour, we felt as though we were immersed in not only the events of WW11 but also the reasons why they occurred. The hero’s and the villains. He answered questions with ease and made us feel as though he were a friend rather than a guide. Highly recommend.

A worthwhile afternoon
We lacked a thorough knowledge of Prague’s WWII involvement. Martin gave us a great city overview, made it possible for us to see the film even though the museum wasn’t planning to show it….the church basement bunker memorial was quite moving. We were glad we took the time for this tour. Also coffee in the little cafe was a nice break! Also Martin went the extra mile to help us find a bookstore to look for additional information.
