Terezin Tour - IWhen visiting a place where such terrible things happened, it's hard to say it was "greatl ", of course, but our guide Tony did an excellent job. He was extremely knowledgeable as both a local and with well rounded knowledge of history. The tour was just long enough, and the museum was very good, even if the subject matter is very somber. It was also a small tour of 8, so that was definitely a bonus.

Very impressive and emotional. - We were picked up at our hotel. TOP arranged.
After switching to another van, it headed for Terezin. CHAUFFEUR WAS TOP! A super nice man.
TEREZIN was very impressive and emotional. The Guide IN the former camp was GREAT !! He told a lot in a calm way, really good.
MAAR:
For example our "OVER-ALL" Guide: this lady told a lot in bad English and repeated herself many times. We didn't mind all that, but what wasn't pleasant (and this is an understatement) was the haste.
We didn't even get a chance to get a cup of coffee for 10 minutes on the spot. Very difficult, run, run, run.
I wanted to buy 2 books and barely got a chance to pay for this. Eventually I succeeded. We clearly found this less about this tour. Very unfortunate too, because otherwise it was more than worth it.
Also excellently organized!

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. 👏👌

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.

Speed freak driver - The Terezin site was fantastic but what decreased the experience was that the mini bus driver was driving way too fast- 145km/hr in the rain hoing there and 155km on the return. I didn't think I would get out alive until one passenger asked the driver to slow down. I was petrified 😪

Don’t waste your time and/or money - The Tour guide did not introduce himself - I don’t even know his name. When someone spoke up about the bus microphone being muffled he said it was not his fault and when it was fixed after our first stop he unprofessionally accused the two women who complained. A dual language tour is painful which this was….plus, other than the size of Terezín and the 500m underground tunnel - not much to see. The worst tour of my two week vacation.

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
