Very interesting, but sobering day - The entire tour was very moving. The pictures drawn by the children were the most memorable. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly

This tour left no stone unturnedd - Our guide was absolutely wonderful and very passionate about the subject He pointed out that politicos on all sides were ambivelent at best or cooperated with the Nazis during the elimination of Jews, gypsies, gays, lame & infirm, as well as ministers & priests, and sympathetic public officials. He made a hard-to-deal-with subject easy to understand. His compassion showed by his research on the subject that left "no stone unturned." Our guide was the "consumate professional" who was well received. I heartily recommend this tour.

Prague City break - The people are very friendly. The city is very impressive and is easy to live with, compared to others without being overly busy. Traffic wise , it is more safer and unlike other cities.

Terezin - Did not specify not handicap accessibility not telling that there was lots of walking involved. Also couldn't hear guide at times. Guide was very knowledgeable and respectful to surroundings.

Worthwhile tour if you are lucky to get a good guide - Overall it was a pretty good tour. A little more time at the Ghetto museum is needed as we only had barely half an hour there and there's a lot of interesting things there. Our guide Helene was very knowledgeable but didn't stop talking the whole time there and back which became very monotone and put us to sleep! She didn't wait for the group to arrive at the stopping points to start the narrative so we missed bits. It was like she was just going thru the motions with no enthusiasm or personality. The guide at the small fortress spoke too softly as other groups were overlapping which made it hard to hear (they need micophones) Worthwhile tour but could've been better with an different guide.

The young gentleman who... - The young gentleman who was the guide at the Terezin camp was very hard to understand when speaking English and he was speaking very fast in a monotone .
However the guide named Peter provided by the tour company was very detailed in his explanations and passionate about his work to ensure this time period of our history is never forgotten.

Guide excellent but not enough time - This tour cannot be done in 21/2 hrs. Everything closes at 5. We were rushed out of the museum with no time to read or really walk ard the open areas. When you have over 20 people, at least 30 min have to be devoted to the bathroom. Then it took over an hr coming and going. Peter has a wealth of knowledge and is very passionate about Terezin and giving it the respect it needs. I would give him a five but disappointed in how he had to rush us through. Perhaps, skip the underground tunnel to save time. Nothing to see there.

Disappointing experience - Disappointing experience. Too little time at the museum-less than 20 minutes . Too much time at cemeteries. Both the guide on the trip and the local guide at the small fortress were scripted and mono tonal. Guide with the trip mixed up 1930s and 1970s and was misinformed about Judaism.
I would recommend a private guide and a full day to properly experience Teresin.
May their memories be for a blessing.

Far too rushed - The tour was far too rushed, we didn’t get picked up from Prague until 12.45 and with an hour trip to get there it was 2pm before we went into the fortress. The tour of this was okay but didn’t feel like saw that much of it and it would have been nice to read some more information and look around.
The visit to the Jewish crematoria was rushed and again it would have been nice to read some more information.
We arrived at the ghetto museum with 20 minutes until close which also needed to include a toilet stop before getting back on the bus. There was loads of information we missed out on.
The tour should start late morning to allow more time to properly experience the camp/ghetto. I felt we didn’t get value for money at all as it was over £50 each.
Peter was a passionate guide but we felt he got too sidetracked with other things and would go off on a tangent, such as his political opinions which wasn’t relevant. I didn’t feel I could ask him anything because he was either condescending or would go off on one about something else.
Would not recommend this tour and feel we need to go again to actually learn something.
