If you are in Prague, this is an experience you must not miss. We were at relatively small group of around 20 - 30 people who were given a history of the camp during the almost one hour bus ride to Terezin. The guide Peter was exceptional in his knowledge of the era and the camp. We walked to the prison compound where the POWs were kept and tortured and a second guide explained the compound and the treatment these prisoners had to face. We then walked to the ghetto where the Jews from Prague and neighboring areas were starved prior to being sent to death camps. There were the original crematorium where the Nazis tried to hide the large number of deaths by pouring the ashes into the nearby river. This was the "model" camp designed by the Nazis for the Red Cross. But everyone who took part in the masquerade and the filming of the camp were murdered in Auschwitch. Like I said - a MUST to see.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re honored that you found the visit so meaningful, and we’re especially pleased to hear that Peter’s knowledge and guidance helped bring this important history to life. Silvia
This was an excellent tour with a wonderful guide to Terezin. The guide, Peter was very knowledgeable and explained the history of the camp and the era extremely well. He was efficient in numerous languages and translated for those who weren't proficient in English. He personalized the tour with details which made it even more meaningful. Visiting a concentration camp is not a pleasant but very necessary experience for even those with historical background knowledge and Peter made this a very meaningful experience.

Trip was well organised, on time and the guide was very informative. Negative - the information did advise no drinks or food, however, there was no availability to purchase water, soft drinks at any of the stops. No free time.
