Our guide Mr Vaclav was excellent the five hours we spent were so informative even on the drive to the camp he explained in detail how the camp came into being.His enthusiasm for the subject was palpable and is clearly invested in the subject.
It’s life changing. If you know at least a bit of the history, you can “see” and feel the inhumanity that took place there. The person map guide was so much better then a large group experience and the four of us would all hate guy recommend it.
We were picked up in front of our hotel by a clean Mercedes van, with just the four of us (the trip advertises "up to seven") on board. The driver spoke English and regaled us with local and European history for the hour drive out to Terezin, where we embarked on the advertised itinerary. Much of the buildings have displays in English, but our guide was escorted us throughout the properties, directing us to the most interesting exhibits and providing insights on many of the items. We chose a six hour tour which, including drive time, was plenty for our family to experience Terezin.
Absolutely the BEST!!! George was very kind and patient through some miss communication at the beginning. Once we were off on the tour he was extremely knowledgeable. I would absolutely use him again.
