Prague: Guided Operation Anthropoid Tour with Lidice

1. Prague: Guided Operation Anthropoid Tour with Lidice

Begin your tour at the crypt where the paratroopers where hiding for three weeks. Your private guide will explain tell the story of the crypt. You will have enough time to explore on your own, before traveling around the church upstairs to see the spots of the final fight. Next, you'll visit the area where the high-ranked Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated by the two paratroopers, Gabčík and Kubiš. The street does not look like it used to in 1942, now containing a small monument next to which you will talk about the moments surrounding the assassination. Finally, you will drive to Lidice, a village which was burned down in June of 1942. The inhabitants were either killed on the spot or sent to concentration camps as a brutal Nazi revenge to the assassination and killing of Heydrich. You will discover a large memorial and meadow together with a statue of 82 children, representing the kids from Lidice that were murdered on this occasion. At the conclusion of your educational experience, you tour ends in the Prague city center.

Lidice: Private Tour from Prague

2. Lidice: Private Tour from Prague

From Prague, you will be driven to Lidice, a former village that was completely decimated by the Nazis in response to the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, a high-ranking Nazi officer who organized the conference for the final solution, or the elimination of European Jews. You will walk through the grounds of the burned village, find the foundation stones of some buildings, and pause at the statue of the children of Lidice who were sent to concentration camps.  On return to Prague, you will visit the crypt at St Cyril and St Methodius where the Czech and Slovak soldiers lost their lives. It is a place of piety and therefore, a dress code applies. The first part is an exhibition about the historical development in Czechoslovakia from 1938 to 1942, which includes pictures and items which were used by the paratroopers. The second part is the actual crypt where the soldiers were hiding. Lastly, you will have the opportunity to walk around the church.

What people are saying about Lidice

Lukas was an excellent guide - so knowledgeable about the tragic history of this beautiful country and its people. Highly recommend any tour he is leading!! Also he was in red responsive as we requested tour at 10 pm the night before and he worked hard into his night to figure out how to accommodate our request. Very grateful for his patience, professionalism and kindness!!

The guide was brilliant , well worth the money , if I was going to picky when we arrived at the church , there was a note on the door that the crypt was closed to the public we were really looking forward to going in .

Eva was an excellent and informative guide. She made the history come alive. We learned in detail about the operation and it was very moving for all of us. I would recommend this tour.
