An experience for humanity! - Very good and educational. This is not a trip for enjoyment, but will give you a frightful insight in how cruel humanity can be. Its something i think everyone should experience, to be aware of what could happen again. Espesially these days. The guide and driver was exellent, friendly and has a lot of knowlegde. Thank you for the experience!

Thought provoking - Our tour guide (Ray, hope I remembered his name correctly) was very professional and spoke excellent English. He made the journey very enjoyable and his knowledge of his country and of Austrian wine was well delivered and well received. The transportation was high class and very comfortable. Mauthausen camp was well preserved and the tour itself which took 3 hours was very interesting. The staircase and quarry made you glad you weren’t there at the time. If you’re interested in history it’s a must see but it shows you how cruel people can be to their fellow man.

Great tour - Our tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable. While in the bus we watched a video, a historical account of the time. Wear comfortable shoes, lunch on the way back. Although I do not have any close relative that felt the pain of the war, it is an emotional experience.

Something to see as to never forget - The will give you a horrible example of what was one on the worst cults in world history, I highly recommend - it is a wonderful memorial of the 90,000 that perished there. you will find it hard to believe that these slim balls could live with themselves about what they did......

Seeing is believing! - Although it was overwhelming to see what happened at Mauthausen it was a tour that I will never forget. The ride to the camp was excellent and the tour guide was very good.

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.

There is nothing gruesome... - There is nothing gruesome or uncomfortable to look at. Just read up a little on it before you go because the guide doesn't go with you. It's a self led tour and I found the map and order of monuments a little hard to follow.
