Though we enjoyed our tour, it was more of a museum and less of a tour of the place. So that was a disappointment. Rushed people in and rushed them out. Kind of like a carnival at a very inappropriate setting. I think a different set up would be better. It wasn't as moving as it could have and should have been.
The Pearl harbour part of the tour was great but the driver of the coach could have made the rest a lot better. If going on the USS Missouri watch out for the guided tour guys the one we had talked so much we didnt get to see the boat because we had to be back on the bus
The itinerary was very interesting, and we saw a lot in the five hours. It truly was an emotional experience. When you get to the American Cemetery, we would suggest skipping the movie in the large theater and just go through the various exhibits in the Visitor's Center. The only negative was that our guide was not a particularly fluent English speaker, so, at times it was hard to understand her. But, don't get us wrong, It was definitely worthwhile.
absolutely magnificent. as an ex service man i was very moved
Nice guide and driver. The JETAH museum is a must. Very moving to see what the prisoners had to go through. The ride on the boat and train were great. You'll have plenty of occasions to take beautiful pictures. Wasn't very hungry so I didn't have much food for lunch but it looked OK from what I saw. Because of the traffic in Bangkok, don't expect to be back before 6pm, a long but very rewarding day. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend. Very moving. The oil still seeping from the water was definitely a sight to see. The Missouri was a nice take also . No bag policy is strictly enforced, but they had a bag check shack which worked out well. Not many food options if you are at the Missouri around luch time. They have a canteeen that basically sells only hotdogs. Store has packaged sandwiches. Well worth the time
The tour was great and the guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. The video on the bus sets the scene on the way there. We read reviews on this site and took our own sandwiches which was great advice. I found Auschwitz very moving so be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster.
An excellent experience!
Guide was very informative and everything was covered in the tour. Would definately recommend to others!
Again an excellent guide under pressure to get us through the tour as rapidly as possible due to the hundreds of people at the site. I like to spend time reading and absorbing the detail in the written explanations for which there was too little time. Nobody's fault - logistically difficult to resolve.
We just came back from Berlin and did the 'Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial' tour with a fantastic guide Arja and we really enjoyed the tour. Visiting a concentration camp was not a happy experience at all, but Arja did a great job of getting us all out to Oranienburg and back again on the train and ensuring that we were prepared for the long day ahead, i.e. food and drink as their are limited facilities available at the camp.
Arja's knowledge of the camp's history as both a concentration camp and a Russian prison were fantastic and there is a wealth of information to take in and so much to see that we were shown the key exhibits to give us an understanding of what life was like for the prisoners held at the camp. You get the offer to stay longer after the tour but it is a big day at 6 hours and with so many other things to do in Berlin this was enough time. Arja was also great and assisting people to get to other parts of Berlin to do other activities after the tour which is a great help.
If you have the time then I can definitely recommend doing this tour as it won't disappoint at all and you get enough information about the day in the life of a prisoner and details about this period of German history.
A very memorable and emotional experience. Our guide Finn was fantastic! He was most informative and extremely helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.
Our tour was great. Our guide was very pleasant and knew her material. I learned a lot of new things and I enjoyed it very much. The guide was excellent.
I visited Prague because i wanted to see a concentration camp with my own eyes. As a historical buff on the Holocaust, it was intense to actually walk where millions of people died. I felt that the tour guide from Viator was very disorganized, and was unable to answer our "unscripted." questions. It seemed like he was just for hire and that day, and did not even know where he was going. Not only that, but he had a hearing problem and could not hear us. The trip was saved by the guide who worked at Terezin and who could offer many insights into the time, and was very empathetic. As a Jew, this tour requires sensitive treatment by the guide. Last year I went on two tours with Viator with great guides. This tour guide was substandard.
Great trip. Cemetary was very moving and so was the JEATH museum although I would have liked longer here. 30 minute train trip about the right length - enough to give you a feel for it. Good lunch too. My only complaint was the transport which certainly wasn't a luxury coach. It was an old and very basic minibus that struggled on the hills and had no air conditioning. It provided a very uncomfortable journey (total of about 5 hours in the minibus). Other than that I would certainly recommend the trip.
