Excellent informative tour. The guide that was with us for the day was excellent and we had a great safe driver. The Terezín property guide could have spoken louder, fortunately we were a very small group.

We loved this tour, it was informative and well organised. So many poignant facts but told sensitively and respectfully whilst not taking away from what the experience would have been for those that were here during the war. I would have liked a little more time in the museum in Terezin itself as there was a lot to take in, which was the feeling for most in our group. I liked that we had a small group and it was not over crowded as some other things in Prague have been. Would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in this area.

Full description

Embark on a guided tour of the Terezin concentration camp on a day trip from Prague. Gain an understanding of life in a concentration camp and see an authentic Gestapo prison.  Depart from Prague on an air-conditioned bus and hear about the impact and legacy of WWII and Nazi presence in the Czech Republic. Arrive at Terezin and make your way into the museum located in the Large Fortress, formerly an all-boys school. Explore what once served as a holding camp for Jews from all over Europe and was exploited for Nazi propaganda purposes during a Red Cross visit in 1944. Hear the stories of those who were imprisoned there and view a propaganda film before moving on to the cemetery and crematorium. Next, cross the river and tour the horrifying conditions for prisoners held in the Small Fortress, from the cell of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassin to the firing squads organized by the Gestapo. Once the tour is over, board the bus back to Prague.
