Wonderful Guide and Tour - Our guide Petr Kotlar was wonderful and made the tour very memorable and meaningful. He was very knowledgeable and dealt with difficult issues with sensitivity and empathy. We could not have asked for a better guide. Would recommend this tour to everyone.

Very educated guide and friendly driver - While this tour is hard to take in, I highly recommend it. Eva did a great job explaining everything and honoring the victims. She made sure everything was accessible for us due to having a stroller. Highly recommend if you are traveling with young children to use Lucy Tours and ask for Eva!

Wealth of information! Thrilled we did this private tour! - Fascinating and very disturbing tour. Petr is so informed of the history and passionate about sharing the atrocities that happened here. We are so glad we did this tour rather than the Auschwitz’s tour. If we had time, we would do that but out of the two we have no hesitation to recommend this due to the marketing machine the nazis had in place to mislead the world. Petr is a wonderful tour guide! We did the 3 hour Prague tour with him and liked him so much wanted to do this one with him. Highly recommend both Petr and this tour.

Terezín private tour - This tour is well worth the price. Patrick, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable of the ugly history of what occurred during WWII at Terezin, Czech Republic.

A "must do" tour when in Prague - Everyone should take this tour! Our guide, Peter, was outstanding! So knowledgable and the way he presented facts and stories from the Terezín Concentration Camp, you really felt the weight of what went on there during World War II. We definitely recommend this tour to everyone!!

Knowledgeable Guide, no limo, no water. - About the Tour company – The ad was misleading. There was no limo. The tour was the most expensive in its class. We suggest they offer water since it’s over several hours and nowhere to buy water bottles. The tour guide tried really hard. He shared a lot of information. He accommodated picking us up at one hotel and dropping us off at our new hotel.
