A tram screeches past, its bell cutting through the low winter light, and the guide falls into the rhythm of Prague’s streets—precise, conversational, quietly insistent. Participants step from Wenceslas Square into alleys that still carry the measured imprint of wartime orders and later defiance. The tour moves at a walking pace: city stones underfoot, memorial plaques that demand a pause, and a final descent into a dim crypt where resistance fighters once hid.
