Moving tour of a real WWII concentration camp - Hearing the stories of real people who suffered during WWII was very moving. Often we hear history, but fail to make it real - it is just a story. It’s important for people to understand that these events really happened. This tour helps accomplish this goal.

Our guide, Ava, is an excellent guide and provided both historical and personal perspectives on what happened at this memorial to the victims who suffered in the Nazi concentration camps of World War II.
Thank you, Ava!

A personal account of something we should never forget - Visiting a concentration camp is always humbling, but doing this tour with Eva from Dutch Tours made it personal. Eva is Dutch and the granddaughter of a survivor of the Holocaust. She told us the stories that her grandfather told her and everyone interested or not. That made the visit to Camp Vught a lot more interesting. What happened to the Jewish community in the Netherlands was relived. The camp was abandoned for many years and the majority of the old barracks is now a high security prison, only a small part was left to tell the story... and it is worthy. We have been to other concentration camps, and this one is not as impressive, but visiting the place with Eva makes it worthwhile.

An impactful tour - Eva provided an excellent tour experience. Her own family story added a dimension to the tour that made it truly unforgettable. The exhibits at Vught were so well done and impactful. This is a must do tour for all.

Interesting - Very interesting. Lots of facts to read. Not much to look at. Our guide was very good. We didn’t get to go into the woods which was a shame. Also a shame the prison has so much of the camp. It should all be a memorial.

It was good. The place to walk towards the execution was closed too much mud, but the tour very informative and the gu - The museum is very explanatory. Audio guide in French very appreciated. A small downside, the snacks are very limited. Only muffins or apple pie with Coffee.
