Details
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.

Delores T.
Jana was superb as our guide. She delivered it excellently in both Spanish and English . Her knowledge on the subject matter was extensive and delivered sensitively . The history of the Fort goes back to the 1700s and then the creation of the walled garrison town which was cruelly exploited by the nazis in the creation of the Jewish ghetto. The fort was fascinating alongside the memorial, a very recommended tour on a a very dark moment in history. Must mention our friendly driver Tony, great job

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

We loved this tour, it was informative and well organised. So many poignant facts but told sensitively and respectfully whilst not taking away from what the experience would have been for those that were here during the war. I would have liked a little more time in the museum in Terezin itself as there was a lot to take in, which was the feeling for most in our group. I liked that we had a small group and it was not over crowded as some other things in Prague have been. Would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in this area.
