Terezin Day Trip

Reviewed by: Abby, 2018/05/30

This trip should have been extremely powerful and informative. Unfortunately, when we showed up to check in at the booth, the woman was extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. Our driver/tour guide was very nice but knew nothing about Terezin. He was unable to answer any questions. In fact, at one point when someone asked him a question, he laughed and said “how would I know, I wasn’t there.” As someone who is Jewish and wanted to learn about my history, I was extremely unimpressed. I would not book with this company again.

The whole journey from Prague through the various buildings was a worthwhile evocative and immensely valuable experience. The guides were well informed and helpful. Certainly worthwhile.

The tour guide Radana was cold and distant. She didn't speak much and there were parts of the tour where we didn't even see her. The bus to the destination was good and also the guide at the Terezin small fortress was good. Even though it is sad to see, it is a must see.

Very moving experience and important for everyone to see, especially in this age of Holocaus deniers. Good tour, but realize that much of it is self guided. the tour guide was knowledgable and shared important information en route, but once at Terezin you will either have a Terezin tour guide or explore on your own. Really, you are paying for the guide's information en route, the easy access to the locations and the bus ride. If you are short on time, then take this tour to get yourself there. If you have more time, there are many ways to get here and perhaps more affordable if not traveling solo.

Guide had to speak two languages, but she could have done it in shorter parts as it took long and tourist started to talk among each other. Also, the bus should keep some umbrellas to lend as the rain was heavy.

It was really good from the time we were picked up from our hotel to being dropped off after the tour. The tour itself was good and informative with the English speaking guides.

Encantada tanto con la visita como con el servicio, era la primera vez que contrataba un servicio de este tipo y no me he arrepentido.
El conductor amabilisimo y muy pendiente de todo hablaba perfectamente ingles y español y se preocupaba de atendernos a todos y la guia de la pequeña fortaleza muy amable y con datos muy interesasntes de lo que sucedio alli.
Recomendable 100% siendo conscientes de que no es un sitio agradable pero que nadie deberia olvidar

Our guide was an older Czech lady with a very heavy accent which made understanding extremely difficult. There was a lot of info that we didn't get. We discovered other companies had better guides

Although quite sobering, this is one of the best, if not the best, tour I have ever taken. The museums were great and Jane, my multilingual, well educated, professional guide was the phenomenal. I was the only one on the tour and the personal attention to my wishes and learning needs was very much appreciated. I recommend this tour without reservation. Thank you. Prof. D., in Ohio

I chose City Discovery because I was told you had the best tour. However, I must say the person leading us, although pleasant did not meet my expectations. He did just the minimum and did not impart any new and interesting information or details which I expected. I will not necessarily recommend City Discovery.

This is a must do tour rather than a we loved it tour. It was very thought provoking and quite chilling. Terezin was not a concentration camp but the next worse thing, a ghetto with a terrible prison. Make time to do this tour.

If you are looking to do something outside of the city of Prague that is historically significant, then definitely go on this trip.
