Pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust with a trip to Mauthausen Concentration Camp, one of the largest Nazi labor camp complexes during World War II. The former camp provides a poignant look at the horrors perpetuated by Hitler during the war. Learn about life at the camp from your guide and take an audio tour of the grounds. This tour includes round-trip transport from Vienna.

I do not recommend this tour operator. Money grabbing company. Do this tour on yourself and save money and have a better experience.

The trip starts with a comfortable bus ride to the camp. During the 2 hour drive the guide provided information on the history and current affairs of the areas we drove by. It was very informative and gave plenty of time to be able to explore the places visited.

Everyone should experience this tour. A reminder of the past so that this is never repeated in the future. Very moving tour.

Unforgettable experience. Very professionally done. We rode for about two hours in a Mercedes sprinter van w iPads on the seat backs so you can watch a documentary on Malthausen. Our guide Robert was great. He shared much about Austria and the camp specifically on the ride. When you get there he will get you set up with their audio tour. The food in the bistro at the site is awful. I recommend you wait to eat lunch on the way back.

2 hours of visit are not sufficient
At least 2 h 30 are necessary
3 hours would be the best
Thanks to consider

The Mauthausen tour guide was awesome! Excellent, straightforward description of concentration camp and international monuments honoring the dead.
Lunch was expensive.

This tour was to a Nazi concentration camp and I appreciated that the guide was serious and honest about what went on there. The bulk of the tour was an audio tour - the guide only talked on the bus to and from Vienna to the site. The audio guide was very good and the experience was strong and emotional, as it should be. I recommend it to anyone for this episode in history should never be forgotten.

My small group tour was mixed with German, Spanish and English speakers and our driver/guide Joseph did a great job with the group. He gave us a lot of background and history on the van ride over and everything was well timed on the transport and lunch afterwards.
The tour of Mauthausen itself felt a little rushed by the local English speaking guide. The guided tour was 2 hours and I wish it would have been 3 hours guided. The last hour we were brought back to the meeting point and I elected to go back into the museum to absorb more information on my own - it wasn't clear that we could do this, but I recalled the timing of when we were departing.
Mauthausen itself is heavy and intense to go to. The museum and information is thoughtfully done and I certainly felt the gravity of being there. I learned every Austrian 8th grader must go as part of their history education. I recommend this tour for those who want to take a day out of sightseeing in Vienna to see a darker part of history (learning so it never happens again).

We really enjoyed this trip. The tour and museum are really well done. Loved that the group sizes are on the small side so it’s not overwhelming. Our guide took care of the transportation, our audio guides, and stopped for lunch on our way back. We really didn’t have to worry about a thing. Highly recommend.

This was one of the most interesting tours I’ve ever gone on. I learned so much more about this dark horrible tragedy. Josef was an excellent tour guide, very friendly, and we stopped and had dinner at a very nice restaurant. The food was good as well.
