Numbing. I call this trip Nazi lite. If this excursion doesn't bring out the terror people experienced during the 2nd WW, I don't know what will. I recommend this tour for those who doubt the attrocites committed at that time.
The guide was knowledgable and friendly. Learnt lots about the history of Terezin. The memorial is excellent and the camp itself was eye opening. Around 1.5 hours around the camp with an excellent guide. Interesting information about the ghetto. Highly recommend if you are interested in history. Opportunity for ice cream and lots of photos.
I wasn't sure about attending this trip but a very respectful tour of Terezin Camp. Its difficult walking in areas that you know so much pain and grief has been encountered but Petr our guide had so many interesting tales related to this wide area and told them is his intense way. Petr is an absolute font of knowledge on a difficult subject. Thank you Petr.
The concentration camp tour was incredibly informative and is something I believe everyone should experience. Our guide, Martin, provided powerful historical insight into the devastating events that took place there.
Be prepared to walk more than the description leads you to believe. Some of it was very difficult for people with mobility issues. Our guide, Petr, was the ABSOLUTE BEST! His depth of knowledge about Terezin was incredible. I'm sure every guide is very well qualified, but if you're lucky enough to get Petr, you're in for a special treat
All day tour. Very informational as well as emotional. Peter was an excellent guide who passionately knew his history and shared it honestly.
Our guide, “Mr. Google,” was very informative and had lots of information to share with us.
Peter, our highly-experienced guide, made this Tour interesting, informative, and enjoyable. He was able to add a lot of information about Terezin not available in guidebooks.
Petr was an extremely knowledgeable and personable guide. I learned so much about the history of the camp, its role in WWII, and the effects of communism in the years following the war. I would have loved to have spent more time at the camp and the ghetto museum, but this guided trip was a great way to learn about the history and not have to worry about transportation.
We were lucky enough to have the tour guide Peter and he displayed an encyclopaedia of knowledge of the times and the history of Terezin. His passion in delivering a subject that was obviously close to his heart was immense and we left feeling humbled and far more knowledgeable about this never to be forgotten slice of history.
