Unique experience - Very good option if you are in Vienna, do not miss it. In addition, other tour operators offer you exactly the same, but more expensive.

Authentic, Worthwhile & Moving - The site has been little altered; showers and autoclave still in place, now-empty barracks rooms but readily visualized overfilled with captives. Authentic and moving experience. Monuments installed by home nations of those imprisoned are thought-provoking. Museum is thorough and contemporary displays are excellent. I could have spent 3 hours there but had only 55 minutes.

Never to be forgotten - A visit to a concentration camp is never an easy or comfortable experience. However, as a retired World History and Holocaust teacher it is a NECESSARY experience especially in current times. To some history is uncomfortable and that is why we need to understand why it is uncomfortable and not repeat it. This visit was so very enlightening due to our incredible guide Ferdinand. His knowledge and insight into the camp seen through the perpetrators and the victims made this a truly and necessary experience. This tour is a must to understand the past and how it relates to the present and NEVER allow to happen again.

Terrific - Outstanding trip, very efficient timing wise, Mauthausen has a fascinating and tragic history. Our guides both on the coach and on site were terrific and knowledgeable. The history speaks for Itself and I went from wondering what we would do with nearly two hours of free time to realising we needed an hour longer so don’t mess around if you want to soak up the knowledge and get around as much as you can

Eye opener - Wow. What an eye opener. The building itself is spectacular. Restored and maintained immaculately. Local guide at the museum so very knowledgeable. The history of the incarcerated...wow. After WWII, we ALL said this should never ever happen again. We need to right the wrongs. We need to learn from history. And make sure this never ever happens again. *

Worthwhile tour - 8 hrs from Vienna. 2 hr drive each way. Guided 2 hr tour that was excellent. Miscommunication on departure time didn’t leave us much time to explore. Moving. Informative.

Totally worth it - The tour guide in the bus was so nice and the drive was quite pleasant. The time at Mauthausen was just enough and our guide there was also great. Depending on the weather, people should dress in layers as there’s a considerable amount of time spent outside. This group was able to visit the quarry, which was really amazing.

Small disappointment that we could not enter the barracks. We understand the rational. Very nice activity but you have to be aware of the emotional charge involved.

Bittersweet Experience - We liked the site a lot, but organizationally it could improve a lot. The bus left on time, all perfect, but once in Mauthausen the guide could barely speak Spanish, at the end of the tour the guide did not tell us place and time to see the quarry, there were other people who were also lost, and the stop to eat was in a Burguer King because there was a rush, we would have liked at least a more traditional place to eat. I give it a 3 because Mauthausen is worth it and we go out and arrive on time, but there are many points to improve.
