Karolina was a great guide. The tour was well organized and Karolina was very knowledgeable. The small fortress at Terezín was the highlight and the local guide there was also very knowledgeable.
Carolina was a source of endless knowledge and information and contributed towards making this the best tour wee did during our 4 days in Prague
Carolina, our guide, gave us a lot of background info and Czech history through the ages - leading up to WW2. the visit is a must for anyone visiting Czech
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting, however it was incredibly rushed and we never got the opportunity to fully appreciate the experience. The day we did it was very hot and we never even got time to grab a drink. This would be better as a full day tour. Not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.
A recommended activity for those who love history. Although it is a "sad" visit, our guide Karolina did a great job, explaining everything with a lot of respect and at the same time with a lot of passion, making the 5 hours of the excursion feel short.
Very interesting tour and all walking was on flat land but very rugged surfaces of differing levels. If you have or need walking cane or sticks I recommend you bring them. The streets and paths are all bricks or rocks. The tour guide was excellent and very attentive to safety. I am glad I attended this tour and highly recommend it.
Disappointing experience with a guide that didn't give us time to see anything. Part of the people in the group that were Spanish speaking received the tour guide that was booked with the activity itself & rode with us in the bus. We could see how she took the other group into different rooms and areas and explained along the way. The English speaking group was kept in the courtyard and not given any time to really see the rooms that the guide explained about. She just said "there's nothing to see there." So if there's nothing to see, why did I spend time and money on this activity and not able to see anything? Also, you are taking away from the tremendous importance of Terezin by saying this. What an insult to the memries of those that suffered and died there. Also, there was a large statue which was clearly a memorial. When I asked what it was depicting and the significance of it, simply was told “it’s a memorial for the victims.” Very poor quality guide. More upsetting is that after informing Viator of this issue, was informed that as the tour took us to each site-despite not being giving time to see most of it- they had fulfilled their obligations and would not issue a refund.
Dear Client, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear of your disappointment, but hope you still enjoyed your visit to the Czech Republic. We surely investigate the situation. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour
Couldn’t hear guide in bus .a bit rushed though parts of main ghetto but overall a worthwhile experience
Dear Client, thank you for your review. Hope you enjoyed it and had a good time despite your comments. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour
Guide was informative. He Had to translate into English & German which I think took away from the experience
Dear Client, thank you for your review. Yes, as it is mentioned everywhere the tour can be bilingual. We hope you enjoyed it and had a good time despite your comment. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour
This trip is a great opportunity to visit Terezin with an excellent guide and driver. Highly recommended for learning about this part of Czech ww2 history.
