“Otokar gave us a brilliant tour. He was passionate and explained the history extremely well, going into a lot of detail but all relevant and not too much detail. Visiting the church and the crypt was particularly special. The way he explained the events around Operation Anthropoid enabled us to gain a full appreciation of the heroic sacrifice that the seven men who died made.”

Then she took us in her car to the assassination site and memorial and afterwards we drove to Lidice to see the memorials and mass grave. All was carefully explained to us and although I had a grasp of what happened, felt I had learnt a lot more. Highly recommend this tour for anyone with an interest in history.”

Geen enkele waardevolle toevoeging. Wij hadden ons veel meer van de toer voorgesteld. Ook plekken niet bezocht, die wel in de beschrijving stonden.”
