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.

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.

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!
RobertDann, Sep 2025
The 6-hour tour with Petr was special. The shorter tours are rushed and you will lose too much. He was a terrific, knowledgeable guide who spoke English well, and Denisa, our guide within the small fortress, also spoke English well and added details that only an expert would know. She gives an immensely human touch, as her father was a prisoner at Terezin. Everyone should be required to take this tour to learn more history than we thought we knew before. Prague is wonderful, but plan an extra day so you do not miss this experience. Whether you are Jewish or not, you will never forget this visit.
Peter_M, Sep 2025
The bus leaves from designated places and was spot on time. The journey takes about 50 minutes, depending on traffic, in a comfortable bus. The guides are excellent and very knowledgeable and Terezin itself is well worth the visit.
The town housed a ghetto which was actually a staging post before deportation to one of the death camps, although many Jews died in the prison camp at the castle as a result of the appalling conditions.
Terezin was the subject of a Nazi propaganda film, which purported to show how well Jews were treated and which was actually circulated by the Red Cross as evidence. After the war, no one wanted to live in the town; too many ghosts were there.
This is not a visit for those wanting to see quaint villages or dramatic countryside. But it is one for those wishing to learn about what happened in Czechoslovakia during this bleak period of human history.
It did not matter to us but one point to remember is that there are no meal breaks. It is possible to pick up a snack in one or two places but that is all
Colin_W, Sep 2025
Well organized tour! Guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and went the extra mile to give us an overview incredible experience . Would definitely recommend this tour
Roberta_S, Aug 2025
Guide walked and talked too fast for most of us to keep up. Itwas very informative but extremely hot . Water should have been available and was not
Cody_V, Aug 2025
Guide was great, very knowledgeable and took care to respect culture and teach the respect. Driver was great. Smooth ride. Must do.
Rokia_G, Aug 2025
I give this tour a 3.5. It’s good but it felt so rushed and there’s no time for breaks or just to sit and relax a little. I’m glad I had a big breakfast before this tour. You just keep walking from place to place with stopping and they don’t let you explore the museum on your own. But would recommend this tour because it’s important to know this history.
Carolyn_H, Aug 2025
Excellent tour with extremely knowledgeable guide. Emotional stories and thought provoking information.
Lorna_G, Aug 2025
The tour takes you to the key sites and a lot of information is shared but, with the exception of the museum in the town, the whole tour is very rushed and the guide always seems on the clock to get to the next stop. There is no time, not even 5 minutes, at the cemetery or in the small fortress just to pause and reflect about where you are and what happened there. To me that lack of time turned what could have been an impactful, reflective experience into a conveyor belt.
Lisa_C, Aug 2025
Good tour,guide was very informative but unfortunately not enough time spent in the museum,we had 15 minutes to rush through.
Alan_P, Jul 2025
I'm not really sure how to review this trip. I have given it 5 stars as I believe it is a very important history lesson. I didn't really feel connected to what was being said and the walk around the camp, this could be because I have been to Auschwitz twice and found it much more engaging than this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and really went off on his own, telling stories and snippets from his vast knowledge but I felt he got too emotionally involved. At times he forgot about the group and was off walking in front before everyone was off the bus or in his vaccinity before talking.
