Worth The Visit - Very informative and emotional tour. Our tour guide, Paul, was very knowledgeable, although I do wish that he slowed the pace down a bit.

Visit to Terezin - Our guide, Petr, was quite personable and knowledgeable about Terezín and gave us quite a lot of information about the site. We would highly recommend Petr & Lucy Tours if you are planning a visit to Terezin.

It’s such a difficult subject to talk about and yet Patrick did it with grace and dignity. - Our guide Patrick was amazing; so knowledgeable of the history of Prague, World War Two, and of course Terezín Camp! Thanks again Patrick.

A must see - A visit to Terezin is a must do when in Prague. The small and large fortress are both worth visiting. Take time to go through the museum and see the hidden synagogue as well. Patrik was a great tour guide

Awesome tour - Our guide Peter was very punctual, helpful, polite and knowledgeable. He would not hesitate to help us with our stroller as we try to navigate through bumpy roads and steep stairs. He shared with us lots of interesting tales relating to WWII. His commitment to sharing the history and giving us a pleasant experience was deeply appreciated. Highly recommend this tour!

Educational & Interesting - For a tour that cannot be described as “fun” because of the important and heartbreaking subject matter, Pavel did a fabulous job of educating us, engaging us, and exposing us to the fortresses and the stories of the horrors that occurred. He was a wealth of information and easy to listen to and engage with. Should we find ourselves in Prague again, I will ask for him as our tour guide for one of the many other tours offered by this tour agency. The entire day ran smoothly and efficiently! The only side note I would add for clarification purposes is that the listing says “limousine” in one spot and then “car/van” in another. It was not a limousine, although it was a spotlessly clean and new vehicle. (Which is good because a limousine in a ghetto seems incongruous!)
