Great tour! Well worth a visit!

Patricia_K, Nov 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable. He was able to relay information easily to the group in English , French and Czech! He answered all questions directly and honestly. Our driver was equipped with gps and traffic info that allowed us to change our route and actually make it to the site! Apparently, there was a huge accident that 3 other groups were caught up in. We were still able to make it, they did not.

Good way to see Terezin with transportation.

Marilu_B, Jul 2023

The tour was full of information and we saw a lot of Terezin. The guide through Viatour was really good. The one from Terezin a bit abrupt and rushed.

Perfect amount of time

Alisha_K, Apr 2023

This trip was so informative and a great look back into history. Learned several new things about Terezin that surprised me. The 6.5hr tour was great as you got to see the small fortress, the Jewish ghetto, and a small museum. Having a tour group made transportation easy as well.

A day with History, never to forget.

Claudio_S, Dec 2022

Although we met a place of dreadfull memories it was all well planned and taken care by th agency. No Portuguese guide, but we could explore the place with a wanderfull Spanish speaking Philipinne guide.

Somber but fascinating

Lucy_B, Apr 2022

Was a very interesting trip, I'm so glad we did it. Rosa the guide was brilliant and so knowledgeable as was Helen our bus and Ghetto guide.

Thank you Lucy :-) Silvia

Local tour operator cancelled

Russell_S, Jul 2021

After we paid for the tour and received confirmation the local tour operator cancelled it later that day ; they told me to contact viator for the refund. I have previously had good experiences with Viator.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Immediately after your reservation, we informed you that the trip will probably not take place and that we offer a different date or exchange. Many would understand this in covid 19 times.Martin

Very informative and well done

Robyn F, Oct 2019

Although the topic was very heavy, the information provided by Peter our guide and the guide at Terezín was very informative. You really got a good understanding of this camp and how it was different from aushwitz or other concentration camps

Linda, May 2017

Our guide, Jan, was very good. He spoke English, Russian, and German to the three language groups on the bus. He went out of his way so that we were able to see the Crematorium, even though this is not always on the itinerary, depending on time.

Conchita A, Apr 2017

Great guide. He was very emotional and highly versed on the topic and place. We took the bus and he gave us all the information during the trip of what we were seeing. Once at Terezin, a tour guide from Terezin gave us that tour and he finished with it at the end. We went first to the crematory, then to the camp and afterward to the Jewish Museum in the town.

Sandy_S, Oct 2016

An essential tour for the world to see to understand the evil impact of the Nazi regime. This is a history lesson not to be missed. The guide needed to offer more historic information enroute to the Memorial, with lots of time in the van for this. The guides on site were excellent as was the museum. A must do for all!

Aaron B, Jul 2016

The tour would have been given a higher rating, if it wasn't for thehandoff of our Martin Tours guide to the Terezin tour guide. Our guide spoke perfectly clear English . The Terezin guide spoke English but was very hard to understand. And we had to finish the tour with a group of about 150.

Jonathan E, Jul 2016

Guide was a fluent German speaker but a mediocre English speaker. This was somewhat balanced at the small terezin fortress by a guide who works there and was good. Would have liked to have had a guide at the large fortress's museum. Another tour group had a guide there, and we listened to him some

Powerful tour- highly recommended...

B C, Jul 2016

Powerful tour- highly recommended. Very prompt departure and Gustav was very knowledgeable- as was the guide at site. We felt rushed at the museums- need to leave time for visitors to roam and read. Very moving site. Martin tours is well run.

Michaela_S, Jul 2022

Das ehemalige Ghetto war interessant- wir hätten gerne mehr davon gesehen. Das Ghetto wurde renoviert und wird heutzutage wieder bewohnt von Mietern bzw. Hauseigentümern. Das ehemalige Gefängnis kann man gut besichtigen.
