Don't forget the past - Johann is a excellent tour guide, knowledgeable and passionate. A sad and tragic time in history came alive for us. Johann wants people to remember so that this will never happen again.

A great way to experience Mauthausen Concentration Camp - Our guide Joseph was very informative. He gave us information about the areas we were passing by while on the 2 hour trip to Mauthausen Concentration Camp. At the camp Johan, our guide was fabulous! He was so informative and it was like you experienced the terror yourself. I highly recommend this tour.

An important tour to experience. - A very sobering tour. Hard to wrap your head around how cruel people can be to each other. We knew very little about this type of camp as most are familiar with Auschwitz. But to be there and see what people went through. Its so important to remember these places so we dont put ourselves through it again. Our guide was amazing, insightful, and knowledgeable.

A day of Remembrance - If you are in Vienna for 2-3 days I highly recommend you think about adding this to your itinerary. Emotionally it is a lot to experience but so important that we all bear witness to this place and its dark history. It is a long day so I suggest you eat and hardy breakfast and plan on a nice quiet dinner afterwards.

Worth it! - Very friendly driver who told us all about the area we drove through and gave some inside information about Mauthausen. Mauthausen itself was very impressive and afterwards we stopped at the “stairs of death”. All in all, definitely worth a visit!

Short Day Trip/Great Guide - Perfect day trip length at 8 hours. Guide was super informative and funny for the drive over. The memorial is self guided and we’re given plenty of time to explore the exhibits and pay respects

Trip was comfortable in... - Trip was comfortable in the bus, self guided tour of the camp… good at your own pace. Would have been nice to leave earlier and maybe go to town for lunch; or be back at Vienna earlier
