Helpful and Friendly staff - Veronica was my guide and she was very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. We had plenty of time to take a tour of the small fortress, ghetto, barracks, cemetery, and crematorium. The experience was incredibly humbling and moving. The ride is a short trip from Prague, it goes very quickly. Veronica was also happy to provide recommendations or helpful tips about Prague. The driver was also very good at his job and kept us all safe. I would recommend booking for sure, and am grateful for our wonderful guide!

Amazing guide with lots of information - Our group was 7 people. It was an amazing day. Our guide was telling us so much about the places. A lot of information and facts. It was a really interesting day and well planed. It would not have been the same without our guide and his knowledge.

Pleasant experience thanks Veronica - Satisfied with the time spent, be reached in the hotel, without having to reach a meeting point, excellent solution. The Guide (Veronica) very empathetic and prepared.A little different that on site... colder and hastier. All in Italian language. Also Driver Great Guide. The most pleasant part was the sensitivity and helpfulness of Veronica. I was lucky to have a Guide like her. 👏👌

Informative and sobering - Hearing the stories about the prisoners experiences in the prison was the most memorable part of my day.

Not Enough Time - There isn't an easy way to get to Terezin via Prague so an organized tour is a good option. I originally had booked this tour for a Tuesday but on Sunday, was contacted to say that there weren't enough people and could I reschedule for Monday instead. I was thankfully able to accommodate this change. Overall, I wish there was more time in the small fortress and that our tour guide had led us around rather than joining another group. There were four of us and we ended up having to join a tour of Swedish high school kids rather than touring around with our small group which was disappointing. Overall, I highly recommend going to this site as it's so close to Prague, but perhaps not with a tour group.

Guide could have been better - The tour was full of history and was a life changing experience. I was disappointed with the tour guide and the time required. The guide was bilingual- English and German. He did the tour in both languages which made things longer. Luckily my husband also knew German because I needed him to help translate since the guide’s English was so bad. It was incredibly hard to concentrate and decipher what he was saying. Because he was doing the tour in both languages, he took longer and rushed us through several parts of the tour. It was disappointing to be rushed through a museum for 10-15 minutes. I would have rather not seen it at all and missed it entirely.

Poor - Tour needs to be a full day. Guide was not fit enough for the job and refused to reduce the art museum time that she was interested in to increase time on other things that she kept saying there was no time for. Tour was supposed to end at pick up point but ended nearly 2 km away leaving me to walk back and her response was to shrug her shoulders and walk off
