What to expect:


Terezin (Theresienstadt), originally a military fortress built in the 18th century by Emperor Josef II, is inseparably tied to the history of World War II. The better known town of Terezin (Big Fortress) served as a collection camp for Jews from all over Europe and was misused for Nazi propaganda purposes during the visit by the Red Cross in 1944.

The less known Small Fortress was a cruel prison of the Reich’s secret police — the Gestapo. If you are interested in the history of World War II and the Holocaust, come with us to the Small Fortress of Terezin and to the museum located in the Big Fortress.

Lovely lady as our guide and driver was very helpful. Very informative tour. The entire 50 minute drive to Terezin is filled with a useful talk from the guide about the history of Prague, Terezin, the Czech Republic and both world wars. Excellent value for money and a must-do for any tourist visiting the city.

As horrific as the topic and horrors of Tersin are, Jacob, our guide, delivered the tour extremely professionaly and mindfully and even managed to slip in some appropriate humour (coming from a granddaughter of a holocaust survivors – that says much!), to ease the gloom a bit. Jacob is a fountain of knowledge, and happy to share it but he also constantly made sure everyone is with us and taken care of, all questions answered, all needs met from pictures time to toilet time and yet we kept the schedule and were back in time. I am a very critical person and yet I can think of nothing to offer Jacob could have done better, we found him to be professional and kind and the best person to deliver this highly sensitive tour at these challenging times. Thank you!

Excellent trip and great guide. There is no practical way to see the 4 sites (small fortress, large fortress, museum, and crematorium) without organized transport. It was sensitively done.

Our tour was very sad but Rebecca was a very good tour guide, she was very respectful of the tragedies that had taken place at the concentration camp.

Very moving. One can read and learn if the horrors and suffering of the Holocaust camps but until you see it… Everyone should go if they are in the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany if possible. Never forget,

Excellent informative tour. The guide that was with us for the day was excellent and we had a great safe driver. The Terezín property guide could have spoken louder, fortunately we were a very small group.

Outstanding tour. Many locations to visit including the museum and crematorium. While I had preconceived notions Emily concentration camps? Terezin was particularly interesting because it p my housed about 10% Jews with the rest resistance fighters and Nazi traitors. Just enough time to better understand the town of Terezin’s history and the support of the community during the war.

The only way I think you could improve tour would be to allow more time at the children's museum. it was the only part that was rushed.
