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.
