We booked the tour online with Prague Sightseeing Tours and everything went smoothly. We took the tour on July 12th, 2026. This is a tour for people interested in history and in learning more about the Nazi occupation in the Czech Republic and the horrors endured by the Jewish and non-Arian population during that time. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable, and told us the history of all the places visited both in Terezin Concentration Camp and in the city itself. The tour took 6 hours and we will never forget it.
The tour was excellent. We were very fortunate to have Peter as our guide as he was a wealth of Knowledge.
Our guide spoke from his heart and gave us an honest, objective, realistic, and historically accurate explanation of the history of the holocaust, Terezin and the personal stories from which he experienced. It was fantastic!
Peter, our guide was excellent filled with emotion about all the happenings in the concentration camp and crematorium. Would highly recommend this experience to everyone. Just beware there’s a lot of walking and if it’s hot, you need plenty of water.
As a Holocaust educator this was a place I wanted to visit. Guide was good. My only negative was that the sound system on the bus was not very good and it was very hard to understand the guide.
If you’re a history buff-particularly WWII- then this excursion is a MUST! Terezín is not discussed in history books, but it had an important place in Czech history. Our guide was unbelievably knowledgeable! She discussed history for the entire hour trip to Terezín and the trip back to Prague. The only negative: there wasn’t enough time! I wanted to explore the camp longer (read the information about the children and watch the video reel) for sure!
Wow!Never had an instructor quite like this one Call him Mr Google his knowledge of war times and beyond. Bring a recorder cause he speaks all the way in the bus and off. He’s got close to 40 years of experience doing his job. Air conditioned bus helps and good driver also, well worth the 6 hr journey.
Great driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable i understand why they say his mr google lol ! It was a real eye opener on that era and what the Jews when through during the war etc
Guide was extremely knowledgeable & patient with our elderly group. Highly recommend Valentina!
Arrived at the meeting point 10 mins before schedule time and the ticket immediately available from presentation of voucher at the booth, The mini bus arrived 5 mins later for prompt pick up. (Clean tidy and in good order) Peter the guide introduced himself and immediately told us some history of some of the buildings around us, as we set off. He was superb, very knowledgeable and had clearly personal experience from his family history as a Jew himself of the atrocities. Very good English and told the story of Terezin extremely well. We stopped at each of the sites, the cemetery, the concentration camp and then to the museum where we saw a really good film and had time to walk around the town which felt like going back in time, quite eerie as though time s had stood still. At the concentration camp,Peter handed us over to another guide who took us around the camp and explained in detail what happened there and the stories around it. There was lots of information on large signs around individual stories which provided more insight. Overall fantastic visit and learn lots that I didn’t know before. Highly recommended.
