What To Expect
Terezin Memorial
The Terezín Memorial honors the memory of tens of thousands of Jews imprisoned in what the Nazis falsely presented as a “model ghetto.” In reality, it was a site of propaganda, forced displacement, and cultural resilience. Our semi-private tour, led by Holocaust educators, focuses on Jewish history and includes key sites such as the Ghetto Museum, Magdeburg Barracks, Jewish Cemetery, Crematorium, Small Fortress, and the Hidden Synagogue—preserved with original inmate-painted prayers. To see all the sites of Terezín properly would require several days. Our colleague always tailors each visit according to the group’s timing and interest. Unlike brief or rushed tours, we offer the most detailed and meaningful experience—with door-to-door service and insights based on ongoing independent research. All our educators are personally trained and work closely with Czech author and Terezín expert Pavel Batel, whose work is based on interviews with survivors and decades of field research.
Magdeburska Kasarna (Magdeburg Barracks)
This site served as housing for prominent Jewish artists, educators, and community leaders imprisoned in Terezín. Today, it displays preserved drawings, theatrical programs, musical compositions, and poems created in captivity. Your visit here reveals the ghetto’s role not only as a place of suffering but also of extraordinary spiritual and artistic resistance.

5.00We had an incredible tour of Jewish sites in Prague with our excellent guide, Boris. Loved learning all about the fascinating history of Jewish life in Prague! This was a private tour. Boris picked us up from our hotel, walked us to the Jewish area, and gave us so much fascinating information. Highly recommend!
Heavy and extremely educational

5.00Pavel was passionate and professional in sharing the history of this horrific camp. Will never forget. He really knows his stuff and has written books to back up his knowledge. Well done, Pavel!

5.00Our tour of Terezin was eye-opening. Our guide, Pavel, took us to several locations around Terezin, including some that other tours do not go to. More importantly, Pavel told the story of Terezin not just through facts and dates, but through the personal stories of the victims who were brought there. The tour had a profound impact on us. Though the stories are difficult to hear, it is important that they be shared and that the victims be remembered. We finished the day with a deep gratitude for Pavel's efforts to honor the victims' memories.

5.00Jan picked us up at our hotel in Prague, drove us and four others to Terezin. He was warm, caring, expert in his knowledge, thoughtful in answering questions, showing, and great at relating the history. We heard similar feedback from a relative who had this tour with Pavel

5.00Batel's knowledge made this tour truly amazing; it was incredible to hear the stories based on his research and interviews. I am a firm believer that there isn't another tour that is more knowledgable than Batel. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to book him. This tour left such a huge impact on me, the stories of Terezin is now ingrained. Thank you.
Helge, our Gide was amazing

5.00My husband and I had a profoundly rewarding experience with Helge. We consider ourselves to be well read on the Holocaust, but Helge uncovered some aspects of it that were unknown to us. Moreover, Helge was so compassionate, respectful, we felt we could not have had a better guide for an emotional visit such as this.
