A FAIRE ABSOLUMENT MALGRE L'EMOTION - We visited TEREZIN today with a guide (please excuse me I didn't remember his name) but he went to architecture school, he is tall with over 50 years. With his 30 years of experience and his incredible mastery of this terrible period, he shared his passion with us. We particularly liked his personality and his commitment to transmitting these events to us. The duty of remembrance takes on its full meaning in this small town. A lot of emotion and a big thank you for his professionalism. From French

We enjoyed this tour very much - It was very educational and good experience for us. The tour was something we could not cover on our own and we highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning about history of this period.

A well considered trip to a challenging and emotive site. - Excellent guides, and good content, can’t say you enjoy given the destination and what happened there, but the information was provided with thought and a clear objective of just telling it as it was. We could have done with longer in the museums as there was so much content, others were there with young teens - the tour definitely satisfied the different groups. If we return to the area in future we will try and spend longer.

Very informative tour of the Terezin Memorial and related sites. - Excellent, informative guide who has had a career in tourist guiding and grew up locally. Able to answer all questions with detail. Great timing on tour with fort, cemetery, crematorium, and museum all on the agenda. Packed with information. Heart-wrenching to see the paintings made by the children who were shipped to the extermination camps.

Good afternoon activity, with just slight areas for improvement. - Was in Prague with my elderly mother and teenage daughter for a few days. I teach History, so know all about this place, but it was my mum who was really desperate to go. It was an informative and enjoyable trip. Peter, the guide, was clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, & I particularly enjoyed his commentary on the way to Terezin as he spoke about the History of Prague as well as pointing out important landmarks from WW2, e.g the location of the assassination of Reinhard Heiydrich. What was slightly disappointing is that the trip did feel quite rushed and rather passive and it wasn’t Peter who took us around the small fortress, it was a member of staff but then Peter repeated some information after that so feel that could have been coordinated better. My mum has a walking stick and the amount of walking with no stops or time for food (the teenager was a bit tired too) would be something to consider, especially since we’d left our hotel at 11am and were not back until 7pm. We had brought lunch with us and snacked on it, but we weren’t sure if we were ‘allowed’ so made it a little awkward. There’s not enough time to do everything of course and it still a worthwhile trip and important historical site to visit , but would just suggest that the layout of the visit is communicated more clearly at the beginning with clear overview of walking expectations etc ( we didn’t know we would be going down a 500 meter long tunnel underground with stairs and uneven ground for example), that there’s more coherent overview between guides & that perhaps a little bit more interaction with individual guests where possible, eg checking for understanding or focusing on one key era. Whilst I already knew a lot my mum and daughter struggled at times to keep up or to understand without understanding being checked & I had to explain or synthesis a lot of what was being told to us.

Emotional Tour Through History - Petr was a fantastic tour guide and easily the most knowledgeable person I've met so far. He made the trip very memorable and meaningful. I wish we'd had more time, and that it was less hot out. Aside from that, 10/10 was easily the highlight of my time in Prague.

Basically a good tour. - Loved seeing the memorial and ghetto. Would have preferred more time in ghetto area and a little less at the memorial.
The guide talked too much to and from Prague. More precise information without all the rabbit trails and cultural opinions would be easier to digest.

Rushed and inappropriate commentary - There wasn’t enough time, so we were rushed around 3 venues. The last one we had 20 minutes in a museum, which was pointless. The tour guide was too politically opinionated for my liking, and looking at some of the faces of other guests I was not alone. He was pretty macabre as well. At one point he laughed as he mimed the hanging of a human being. There was zero time for quiet and reflection, which I feel was necessary visiting such a place.
