I was born in Prague and spent a happy childhood here. I remember taking long walks with my grandfather and visiting all the historical places. Little did I know that one day, I would be showing this beautiful city and country to people, from all over the world. My grandfather would be proud. Eventually, my family moved first to Germany, where I learned German and then to the USA, where I got most of my education. In the year 2000, communism having been abolished, I returned to the Czech Republic, and live in Prague again. On my return, I went through the proper schooling to get my guide license for Prague and the Czech Republic and lead tours in Prague and all the "worth seeing" places in this country. Due to having spent so much time in the USA and Germany, I speak English, Czech and German perfectly. I do occasionally stray and lead international tours outside of the Czech Republic in Europe and the world but for the most part, I stay in Prague. I love to show this magnificent city and country to people from everywhere. Having the local and global experience as well as the language knowledge, I am sure you will get the most out of your stay in Prague and the Czech Republic on any of my tours. Welcome! :-) In 2004, I completed my local guide license for Prague. I have studied history, languages and psychology in several institutions in the USA as well as Europe. I have worked for and with several major travel companies such as Maupintour, Classic American Travel, QEvents, G2 and others. none

Visit Terezin, a tour from Prague to the concentration camp Terezin, a museum today.
Overview of your Prague tour
Visit this notorious concentration camp outside of Prague. During WWII, it was a work camp of the Nazis where thousands of people perished.
Your Prague tour itinerary
Terezin is a small town located approximately a 45 minute drive north of Prague. When Emperor Josef II built it in the 18th century, he named it after his mother, Queen and Empress Maria Teresa. It was built as a fortress to house soldiers and protect Prague from invasions from the north. During the Nazi occupation of the Czech part of Czechoslovakia in World War II, the Small Fortress of Terezin was turned into a Gestapo prison and the Great Fort - the town of Terezin - a Jewish ghetto and a transit station to death camps in the east such as Ausschwitz in Poland. We drive out to the town and visit the Museum, where besides being able to read about the history and see the photographs, we will see a film about the activities there. Visit the "Secret Synagogue", where the Jewish people worshiped in secret. We also visit the Small Fortress, where the prisoners were held who displeased the Nazis as well as the crematorium. The crematorium is closed on Saturdays.
