Itinerary

Terezin Memorial

Terezin's private tour includes numerous powerful stories and historical facts with the details from 16 years of research and interviews of Terezin survivors. It includes the Ghetto Museum, Magdeburg barracks, Columbarium, Morturarry with the Chevra Kadisha place, Hidden synagogue, the attic room of the ghetto, Jewish cemetery, Crematorium, and the Small Fortress Terezin - the Gestapo prison (a real concentration camp).

3 hours
Magdeburska Kasarna (Magdeburg Barracks)

After watching all the fragments of Nazi propaganda movies brought back to light in the mid-sixties and nineties, you'll discover the forgotten world of Terezin artists. You'll see replicas of the ghetto accommodation or theater sets. At your own pace, you'll have a chance to admire Terezin's drawings, the room dedicated to Jewish writers and musicians.

40 minutes
Mala Pevnost (Small Fortress)

You will hear stories about the everyday life of the Czech political prisoners in a concentration camp during the Nazi era. Visiting the Small Fortress is a very dramatic and intensive experience. Pavel is describing facts from original memoirs written by eyewitnesses and survivors right after the war. He personally interviewed their family members. Czech survivors of the Small fort suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder when they should recall memories of extreme torture of the special group of prisoners who were not considered to be human beings. These prisoners had no names and no numbers and usually didn't live longer than five days. They were called Jews!

1 hour 30 minutes
Terezinska puda

Terezin (or "Theresienstadt" in German), less than an hour's drive north of Prague, is a former Habsburg fortress and famous garrison town built between 1780-1790. This town became a holding camp for Jewish Czech families and selected Jewish groups from Germany, Austria, Holland, and Denmark between 1941-1945, and who were later deported to extermination camps in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe.

20 minutes
The Jewish Cemetery

Part of the Terezin tour is also visiting a Jewish cemetery with the crematorium. Then a beautiful story of the Terezin children's tree is hidden right behind the grey and ugly building.

private day trip excursion from Prague to Terezin

Published on Jan, 2025

This private tour was an incredible experience with Pavel. First off, it was very easy to book a trip with this tour company via email. They answered every question timely and explained possible options or flexibility that may be required due to Pavel's schedule. Pavel is a terrific, passionate story teller, who takes care to bring survivor's tragic experiences to light. It's an understatement to say that this excursion has stayed in the forefront of our thoughts days even weeks since. We highly recommend this trip.

Exceptional.

The most EXCEPTIONAL guide my family ever experienced, and we routinely engage private guides. In the movie "A Real Pain," a character entreats the tour guide to desist from a cold recitation of facts and instead recognize and emphasize the humanity of the subjects. THAT IS PAVEL'S REMARKABLE APPROACH. He illustrates the physical fact of Terezin with movingly told individual stories and descriptions of daily life. He brings the historical artifact of Terezin to life. Do not miss the experience. (We toured with Pavel July 2023, had technology issues when posting a review at the time, and just realized that it never posted.)

One dad and daughter's experience

Profound and Moving Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Our family recently joined Pavel on his Terezin Ghetto tour, and it was an experience we will never forget. Pavel has a unique gift for connecting with his guests on a deeply emotional level while educating and guiding us through such a challenging chapter of history. He masterfully balanced historical detail with empathy, understanding the gravity of the pain we all felt as we walked through Terezin. His storytelling was not only informative but also incredibly moving, leaving us with a greater appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit. This tour is an absolute must-do for anyone visiting the area. It’s an eye-opening and soul-stirring journey that brings history to life in a way that no book or documentary can. Worth every Euro or dollar. Thank you, Pavel, for making such a lasting impact on us. Highly recommend!
