Meaningful and memorable - My wife and I decided to bring our 4 teenagers on this tour- they are big fans of Narnia and we felt Terezín was an important place to go. We were thankful that it is a small group- the 6 of us were the only people on the tour. Peter is an outstanding guide, full of enthusiasm and information. We saw some other visitors to Terezín without guides that didn’t understand what they were seeing - a missed opportunity on their part. Bohemian Switzerland park is beautiful and we loved being in this area where many early scenes from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe were filmed. We even made it into Germany to see the Bastei Bridge. It’s a long day, but worthwhile. We made some great memories and appreciated Peter’s desire to make the tour special. Highly recommend!

Jewish history warning plus walk in nature - We’ve been lucky to have Pete as our tour guide! Friendly, knowledgeable and delicate. He found a great balance to combine in one tour a somber visit of Terezin camp with the beautiful nature of Bohemia! Thank you Pete!

Must Book Tour - My mom and I spent an incredible full day tour with Peter. He is a very knowledgeable and considerate guide dedicated to providing a tailored full service experience to everyone in the group. After pick up, we drove an hour(+/-) to the Terezin forts/jail & ghetto. Peter shared fantastic history during our drive; the time flew by! We toured the small fort/jail. Interesting contrast between it's intended purpose as a fort, it's Czech use as a jail, and it's Nazi use as a Gestapo work jail/camp. Then a 5 minute drive to the large fort/Jewish ghetto turned town. Learned about Nazi propaganda and keeping Jewish arts and culture alive during the war. Now interested in learning even more. After a 10 minute drive to a midevil town, we stopped at a converted train station for coffee and snack. As non-coffee drinkers, we enjoyed cranberry and passion fruit homemade sodas. We also recommend the quiche and raspberry cheesecake. Back in the van for 45+/- minute drive to the Bohemia Switzerland National Park, aka the "Narnia" forest. We hiked up hill for about 10 mins to reach the "labyrinth" where we meanderd through the forest and rock formations. Peter offered info about rock formation nicknames and fun movie filming facts. After a 5 minute ride through the forest, we ate a delicious Bohemian lunch at a picturesque hotel restaurant overlooking a quiet pond. Peter provided great food reccomendations. The Beef and Cream, and Checken schnitzel were amazing! During our hour ride to Germany, Peter shared additional history and other interesting facts. Then we arrived to breathtaking views! Beautiful rock formations overlooking the river below followerd by the 1850s bridge built to a small mesa where a wooden 1400s castle once stood. More amazing phots and interesting information. Throughout the day Peter provided coins for the public restrooms, water, and even a Soviet Coke to try. Overall an incredible day and excellent service.

What a day! - We had a great day with Petr! He arrived on time and we were a couple (40s) and had a couple with 2 smaller children paired with us for the day. Petr did an amazing job keeping both adults and children happy, engaged and moving throughout a long day (12-13 hours). His van has AC, snacks, waters and even beer for the trip home! Petr is a wealth of knowledge, as everyone has pointed out. But seriously, he knows all the things and shares them with you throughout the day. He has the day down to a science, knowing exactly how long to stay in a given spot. The cafe spot with the pistachio cake and coffee was a highlight after a somber morning at Terezin, which is a must see. We did an extra stop at a summer chateau, which was beautiful. Next came a hike at the Tisa Rocks Labryinth where Chronicles of Narnia was filmed. It was a beautiful spot. Lunch at a beautiful hotel came next. Petr paid for everything, all entrance fees, lunch, etc. and handled the ordering, which made life easy for everyone. Last up was the amazing Basteii Bridge, which is over the border in Germany. Cannot recommend Petr and this tour enough! We would not have been able to get to these places without him and definitely would not have been able to learn everything we did without him. He is top rated for very good reasons!
