Anthropoid tour with Martina
I really loved this tour. Martina was extremely knowledgeable and informative. I couldn't have enjoyed the experience more!
Response from the operator: 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

Outstanding WWII Operation Anthropoid Tour with Otto
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.

Two Great Tours in Prague
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!
Response from the operator: 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 :)!

A great tour...even in the rain!
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!
Response from the operator: 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!
via Tripadvisor
A must for everyone!
Martina our guide had tremendous knowledge, passion, and communication skills to express this topic. Her spirit was a highlight of our stay in Prague!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review it was my pleasure to take you around!

Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Prague.
How much does Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Prague usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Prague is not rushed.
Is Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Prague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Prague can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Prague and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Prague within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Prague?
+
On Outty we rank every Prague experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best Reviews: Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Day Trip From Prague, Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland From Prague-Travelers' Choice 2026, Prague Historic Pub Tour with Drinks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Prague?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Prague?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail?
+
Included: Private transportation; Enthusiastic private licensed tour guide with extended knowledge about Czechoslovak resist; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Tips if you enjoyed your tour!. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail?
+
Meeting point is outside the main entrance to Clarion hotel Prague Old Town, there is a parking lot where will be parked vintage Trabant 601 vehicle. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail offered in?
+
It is offered in Czech, Slovak and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Operation Anthropoid Tours & Lidice Village in Detail?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
