Be prepared to walk. There is a lot to see and experience on this tour, and you will definitely get your steps in. Our tour guide was excellent - she spoke (at least) Spanish and English fluently and was able to narrate for speakers of both languages together. There are several areas you will hit, and the history is sobering. Not exactly a fun time, but very much an important one.
Dear guest, thank you for your positive review. We are glad you had a good time, even when the shadow of history was your companion. -Astrid
Tour guide was you and inexperienced. I fell and cut my hands and he did nkt k ow what to do. The shadow tour guide was older and wonderful and really helpful. He walked to far ahead in the tunnels and left the group behind. Not very relatable and disconnected from the arrocoties. On the return the driver decided the traffic was too heavy and he dropped us in the middle of nowhere. We had to find our way back to the hotel. The women second shadow guide who was there to learn was really nice empathetic and helpful. The main tour guide and driver were not at all.
Dear guest, thank you for your review. I am slightly left guessing at some of the words you used, however, we would like to apologise, if the situations you mentioned could have been handled better by the guide. The end point of all our outside-of-Prague tours is in the city centre and is the same one as our meeting point in the morning. The drop off service is not included, therefore, the driver must have dropped you at the indicated location. -Astrid
Very informative tour which was very well structured and organised It was very thought provoking in a time of world conflict
Dear guest, thank you for your positive review. We are glad you had a good time! -Astrid
Great Tour guide, enjoyed the tour but some of it was sad the driver was a nice man too definitely would recommend it
Dear guest, thank you for your positive review, we are glad you had a great time! -Astrid
Been using viatour for years this is my first negative review. Bad and in professional on so many levels. Save your money and go directly to Terezín the guide was excellent!
Dear guest, could you please provide more information? We always want to improve our services, however, we are not sure, why your experience ended up being unsatisfactory. -Astrid
This is an exceptional tour. Our guide, Martin was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history and current events. During our drive he kept us engaged with historical information as well as fun facts. I would definitely recommend this tour with Martin as your guide.
Dear guest, thank you for your positive review, we are glad you had a great time! -Astrid
A lot of walking Get grouped with @ 20-30 teenagers who laugh giggle and joke the during the guided tour Get dropped off 3/4 mile from where you get picked up Vehicle has no air conditioning Will never take another Viator tour Better off taking an uber and guide yourself around
Dear guest, we are sorry you had such an unfortunate experience. We will investigate the situation further to assure it would not happen again, however, we unfortunately cannot influence the behaviour of other visitors on the side.
I have a lot of respect for the history here, but I found this particular tour to be lacking. We toured the Small Fortress, but the guide provided very little context or narrative, mostly just stating a single fact before moving on in silence. We actually ended up leaving before the tour concluded. I would recommend visiting Terezín, but perhaps explore other tour options or a self-guided route if you are looking for a more comprehensive understanding of the history.
Dear guest, thank you for your honest review, we will take your insights and work together with our guides to improve the experience. I hope you still managed to enjoy your day. Kind regards, Astrid, Best Tour
Very interesting. Our tour guide was excellent, very knowledgable, and engaging. In the fortress itself, our tour guide Martin was also top notch.
Thank you very much for your review. We can not wait to see you again. Best regards, CA BEST TOUR, Natalie
