Mauthausen Concentration Camp Day Trip from Vienna

Posted By : MICHELINE_R
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.

This was a very worthwhile experience, and the guide was good and managed things well in addition to providing additional information about the tour and the area. The time was sufficient to take things in without feeling rushed.

It’s an important tour. I’m so glad I did it. Our driver was excellent. The drive was nice.He was informative and helpful. We had enough time to walk through at our own pace with the use of the audio guide. Highly recommended.

Nice drive with friendly driver/guide (Robert). The camp itself is obviously rather intense and depressing given what occurred there but is also a must see. Never forget!

Would have been 5 but my original booking with Viator for Sunday was cancelled and I was charged £50 more for yesterday- the trip itself was excellent- driver Robert(I think) was knowledgeable and informative and the pre- agreed timings to see the memorial was spot on - I was only disappointed that the steps of death were closed
