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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

First, I want to point out the name is a bit misleading - Terezin was not a concentration camp, it was a Jewish Ghetto. Other than that, the trip was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and you could tell she enjoyed what she did. I would definitely go back with the same guide.

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.

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,
