Contemporary history full on - The juxtaposition of this concentration camp and its grizzly recent history set in the spectacular Austrian countryside on a beautiful Spring day highlights how human beings are, and always have been, the problem. This tour is not to be be taken lightly but rather reflectively. The small group nature is very appropriate and the tour guide Ben gave the overall experience the added color and interest that meant the day was memorable in so many respects

Knowledgeable guide and moving memorial - We booked the Mauthausen Memorial trip and Ulrich was our guide. He was knowledgeable on the history of the camp and had videos prepped for us to view en route to the memorial. Additionally, our group had 3 senior citizens, and one experienced difficulties at the Memorial. Ulrich stayed with her to make sure she was comfortable and made arrangements to help the rest of the group get the best information from this memorial. He really went above and beyond a normal tour guide. Outstanding service all around.

Mauthausen Memorial trip - A very enlightening day. Tom, our guide, was superb. From the moment we got into the car we learnt so much from him. He was easy to listen to, very well informed and really made the difference to our trip. We would definitely recommend this tour and all the more so if Tom was leading it. The Stewart family

This is relevant history... - This is relevant history no matter what year it is. There is ALWAYS people trying to control others and we haven't learned yet.

Please consider useing another tour - No service ! They left us behind after our taxi was stuck in road traffic being 5 min late! We attempted to call on numerous occasions only to find an answering machine. None of our money was refunded not even a quater.!!!!! Please consider using another tour! as our tour the very next day to Budapest waiting for an elderly couple for almost 30 min !!! They finally made contact with us and made every excuse in the book why they left. Being tourist in Vienna we felt very vulnerable and completely taken for a ride . I would highly recommend you NOT use these tours. We came all the way to Vienna especially to go to Mauthasen . You are welcome to inbox me as I have all the proof from taxi receipts etc I also have my attempted phone calls all recorded. [email protected] Horrible experience
