Additional Information
The Military Stronghold, established in the 18th century, was transformed into a detention center during the Second World War. The section known as “Big Fortress” served as a ghetto and confinement camp for Jews, while the “Small Fortress” functioned as a prison for the Gestapo police. Terezin was more than just an area of distress; it also symbolized bravery, selfless acts, and an ongoing battle to rescue those doomed to be casualties of the Holocaust. The admission costs for both the Small Fortress and the Big Fortress are covered.

A must see - A visit to Terezin is a must do when in Prague. The small and large fortress are both worth visiting. Take time to go through the museum and see the hidden synagogue as well. Patrik was a great tour guide

Awesome tour - Our guide Peter was very punctual, helpful, polite and knowledgeable. He would not hesitate to help us with our stroller as we try to navigate through bumpy roads and steep stairs. He shared with us lots of interesting tales relating to WWII. His commitment to sharing the history and giving us a pleasant experience was deeply appreciated. Highly recommend this tour!

Educational & Interesting - For a tour that cannot be described as “fun” because of the important and heartbreaking subject matter, Pavel did a fabulous job of educating us, engaging us, and exposing us to the fortresses and the stories of the horrors that occurred. He was a wealth of information and easy to listen to and engage with. Should we find ourselves in Prague again, I will ask for him as our tour guide for one of the many other tours offered by this tour agency. The entire day ran smoothly and efficiently!
The only side note I would add for clarification purposes is that the listing says “limousine” in one spot and then “car/van” in another. It was not a limousine, although it was a spotlessly clean and new vehicle. (Which is good because a limousine in a ghetto seems incongruous!)

Such a memorable day in Terezin. - Patrik picked us up at our hotel, and was an excellent and extremely knowledgeable guide. The tour was very thorough, and led us through the history of the area (even the way to Terezin.) As a native of Prague, he also gave us great recommendations about food and activities in his hometown (and boy, did we need it after a walk through Terezin’s past!). We will highly recommend our experience with Patrik and Lucy Tours to our friends travelling to the area!

Never happened because of the lack of address - The receipt did not have the address and I pick the wrong place. Confusing based on where I thought I booked.
