Amazing tour about a dark time - The Terezín Camp excursion, expertly guided by Patrick, was superb. We were picked up at our hotel in a comfortable vehicle and travelled outside the city to the camp which is remarkably preserved. Our guide shared his extensive knowledge of the history as we visited both sections of the camp as well as the crematorium. These grounds evoke a sense of spirituality despite the horrors which happened there. If you have an interest in WW2 history, then this tour will immensely benefit your knowledge.
Big shoutout to Patrick for his flexibility as we needed to alter our previous plans. If you have the fortitude, definitely consider joining this excursion.

Excellent, somber tour of a key holding and transfer camp to the killing camps to the east. - Somber sites well-organized and richly explained throughout. I knew most of the history going in, but still found the guide helpful and knowledgeable of all the details.
Gentle warning - while there is no significant climbing, there is, by necessity, A LOT of walking.

Super Educational - Very informative and sobering day. Our guide was super informative. She talked throughout the bus rides and the on ground tours. The half day was the right amount of time for this very important tour.

A Great Day Out Learning About History - A brilliant experience getting to learn and see the camp of Terezin. It was incredibly moving to go to the camp and visit the museums to learn about the history too. Great guides and driver too.

EVERYONE should see this. - EVERYONE should see this.
What a difficult activity to review. The horror, despair, and sadness are oppressive. Trying to imagine being a part of that environment, hearing and seeing, left a powerful impression.
Our guide was quite knowledgeable, and kept the tour to a strict schedule.
It was disappointing that their were no kippot for the men, nor small stones to place.

Mediocre tour, but a worthy and important place to visit. - Terezin is a worthy trip, and the history is quite interesting. I felt that this particular tour relied a bit more on the movie in the museum and a local guide at the interment camp. While we were satisfied overall, it felt like we could have had a similar experience by taking the train or by car and seeing these sights on our own, at a lower cost.

An emotional trip - This was a very emotional trip. Our guide (that rode with us) was too young and seemed a bit flip. Coming out of the crematorium she said "How did you like that?" Did not stay near to make sure the group got back to the bus in time. Also felt that the tour was backwards. The museum should have been first. The guide the small garrison was excellent. Did a very good jobl

Easy and basic camp tour - Basic 1/2 day tour of Terezin that provided good info but was rushed at times and repetitive. Very good guide in the small fortress.
