Highly recommended tour
George was our guide and he certainly helped bring to life the war experienced by the Check people in the city. His knowledge and passion really gave us, not just a history lesson, but a really enjoyable tour. We definitely got the most out of the 2.5 hours and to get to see the church where the seven men involved in operation Anthropoid held out against the nazis, was very special. We were even blessed with his charming company a little longer for some food and drink afterwards. A splendid tour and excellent company!

Cherry on top
After spending a few days in Prague touring the magnificent buildings, parks, bridges and listening to ancient histoey, this tour made us travel to time to a more recent story that greatly definesnthe Checz nowadays. George was an amazing storyteller that moved every fiber of emotions inside of us. Thanks for such a personalozed tour an experience. We learned and touched many details that were key to this Prague experience.

Great tour and guide
Our guide George was excellent. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He took us to all the listed sites and described the events that occurred.

One of a Kind Tour
Wow!!!!!! This tour is one of the best I have ever done. Our tour guide Otakar, was absolutely amazing. Our guide was so passionate, knowledgeable, engaging, he was amazing. What I learned about the war, and about the courageous Czech's, will live with me for ever. If you are a history buff, and trust me, I was not. You will learn so much, and appreciate this beautiful country and what they had to sacrifice to survive.

Can't honestly recommend it
The tour is essentially not so much a tour, but a long historical lecture: half of it takes place at a couple of locations around the Prague city center that have marginal relevance to the topic of WWII in the Czech Republic, but are incredibly noisy and it's hard to hear your guide; and the other half takes place in a restaurant before it opens where you look through a box of interesting memorabilia from the time period while the guide continues his dissertation. The topic is undoubtedly interesting, the guide does what he can, but I don't think I'd recommend this tour to anyone but the most ardent WWII researchers.

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Prague.
How much does WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid cost?
+
Prices start at $41 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 WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,016 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Prague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid?
+
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 WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid?
+
Around 356 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid 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 WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid?
+

Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for WWII in Prague Tour & The Crypt of Operation Anthropoid?
+
Cca 30 meters In front of the Powder Gate next to the green kiosk on the Republic Square - the guide will be holding a black umbrella with our white logo. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
