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.”

Jana smartly started us at the top of the hill near the monastery and we worked our way down through the city! She did a great job of explaining the history of every building, every walkway, every bridge - even the Castle lights. Did you know the Rolling Stones paid to have the Castle lit up at night? I did not. Jana naturally did! All in all, I cannot recommend Jana enough! Thanks again!”
