One of the best tours we’ve been on. Very informative, and you felt immersed in the place and time. Sobering, because of the material, but our guide, Petr, was terrific. His inherent knowledge with 30 years of providing this tour were very much evident and appreciated. Highly recommended.

Be prepared to walk more than the description leads you to believe. Some of it was very difficult for people with mobility issues.
Our guide, Petr, was the ABSOLUTE BEST! His depth of knowledge about Terezin was incredible.
I'm sure every guide is very well qualified, but if you're lucky enough to get Petr, you're in for a special treat
Lisa_W, May 2026
All day tour. Very informational as well as emotional. Peter was an excellent guide who passionately knew his history and shared it honestly.
Glenn_R, May 2026
Peter, our highly-experienced guide, made this Tour interesting, informative, and enjoyable. He was able to add a lot of information about Terezin not available in guidebooks.
David_O, Apr 2026
We were lucky enough to have the tour guide Peter and he displayed an encyclopaedia of knowledge of the times and the history of Terezin. His passion in delivering a subject that was obviously close to his heart was immense and we left feeling humbled and far more knowledgeable about this never to be forgotten slice of history.

Guide is very good and passionate. However he was careless. Left us at museum even though he said meet out front at 5 pm.
Diana_C, Apr 2026
Our guide was amazing and so knowledgeable we learnt so much, thank you. I took my elderly parents and they also enjoyed learning Czech history.
Ruth_M, Apr 2026
this was an excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide. opportunity to see several places in the camp, to absorb much of the history, to do some independent walking and absorbing of the horrors of what happened.
Fiona_Y, Apr 2026
This was an excellent tour, well paced and well organised. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions. Highly recommend.

Fern_S, Apr 2026

Heather_L, Mar 2026
A sad but very interesting tour. History that everyone should know. Be prepared to walk a little bit
Thomas_B, Mar 2026
Our guide clearly loves his job and knew his stuff. He provided information to and from the site as well as at the site.
Mark_M, Feb 2026
Well worth a reminder as to the horrors of the past and to see in real life what the conditions were like in the camps. Very ably led by the tour guide Eva. Definitely recommend.
Dolores_M, Feb 2026
Absolutely an amazing experience.So much history about the history behind the suffering of the Jewish people.Had an incredible guide so knowledgeable and helpful
Mark_J, Dec 2025
I was anticipating a bit more from the tour as far as traumatic experiences associated with the camps, even though it wasn’t good what they went through.
Noel_D, Dec 2025
It was excellent. Helen did a great job. She was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed hearing about the history of Terazin
Eric_H, Nov 2025
Great tour but was constantly derailed by the fact that although the tour was supposed to be in English, the tour guide did all the briefings in English and French which messed up the timing where he would tell us to look at something after we had already passed by. The tour was advertised as English not English/French.
Amy_H, Nov 2025
This trip was great because it included 3 separate locations with a guide who knew a lot of history and a comfy bus there and back. Our guide was amazing she told us a lot of history and was really informative.
Geoff_D, Oct 2025
The Bus tour guide was very impatient and abrupt at times. He was very opinionated about subjects that had very little connection with the tour.
Robert_H, Oct 2025
This is a “must see” tour for adults. Not a children to 16 tour. Fascinating “remembrance” of the horror of the Holocaust. Petr our guide was fantastic. Knowledge amazing. Passion and emotion also incredible. Must tour if in Prague.
Tasha_C, Oct 2025
While very interesting, the tour was very intense with a lot of information from our guide. I feel that after the fortress the tour could have ended and we would have been very happy with what we had learned. The museum was a little too much after everything else and you could see that from how many of the group didn’t use free time to go explore it.
Eric_G, Oct 2025
Very detailed and informative. Passionate tour guide who was very involved in the stories he told. Great.
ILIA_B, Oct 2025
It was a reasonably good tour, however: - we visited only the cemetery memorial that is adjacent to the political prisoners camp, now the camp for Jewish prisoners. We also visited a site of some prisoner's burial, next to the crematorium. Following that, we visited the getto museum, which, in my view, was not super informative.
Amanda_B, Oct 2025
Excellent personalized tour with an expert on Terezin itself. So much information was shared. Peter, the guide was so well informed. Really felt how much he cared angle what happened there. Small group so Transportation was easier. Short drive from Prague.
Howard_A, Oct 2025
Petr was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the tour, and the horrors that took place to the Jewish people during World War II. He made the tour very interesting and informative. I was extremely impressed by him, and he is a credit to your company
Erin_G, Oct 2025
This tour was so interesting. Our guide Petr was extremely knowledgeable and he was very passionate about the subject. Being able to see the conditions of the people who were forced to live there was incredible, sad and humbling.
The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because I wish the tour was longer and we could have had more time at the Jewish Cemetery and the Ghetto Museum.
Diane_M, Sep 2025
A lot to cover in a small amount of time. Your guide walked really fast. Very interesting and guide at Terezin great.
David_G, Sep 2025
Very bad tour guide; rude, confidently conveyed inaccurate historical facts and wrong stereotypes about Jews. We had bad luck with the guide, otherwise it would have been not bad at all.
Zachary_C, Sep 2025
It is an hour bus ride to Terezin. There is a lot of history delivered as a lecture for the entire bus ride with little interaction between guide and guests. There is an hour tour of the Small Fortress with a local guide. Limited time in Big Fortress (Jewish Ghetto Camp) with visitors taken to see museum. Since it was the Big Fortress there should have been much more time for a tour there with another local guide. Trip ends by visiting Jewish cemetery and crematorium. On the hour bus ride back to Prague there is also another hour-long lecture. The lectures themselves are not well organized and go beyond the appropriate scope of the experience. Visitors are rushed around to each stop with little time for a break or personal exploration.
Randal_S, Sep 2025
Peter was very knowledgeable, passionate and engaging. Make sure to bring your own water and snacks for a long day, with minimal bathrooms stops. Highly recommend!
