“Our guide, Fleming, was amazing. The drive was full of incredible history. Our guide was clearly incredibly knowledgable. Mauthausen was tragic. The museum was incredibly well done and the audio tour was also very good. It was perfect to have the audio tour because it is definitely a place you want to move at your own pace and not be rushed with a group so you have time to process everything. Our guide answered all our questions as a follow up on the way home. On our way home our guide asked if we wanted to have lunch or skip a sit down and drive home through the Wachau Valley...which…”

3.KZ Mauthausen Private Trip from Linz

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Travel from Linz to the Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial in a private vehicle for up to eight people. You get pickup from Linz locations and a mobile audio guide for the camp, with about two hours on site. Personal guiding is not guaranteed, though guides such as Erika, Wolfgang, and Thomas have led some departures.

“I booked a tour for eight people. Very comfortable ride to and from this site to our river ship cruise docking location. Our driver got us into the site, got us established with audio guide equipment, but then said that he could not function as a guide. The audio guide to the 23 locations in the site worked fine, allowed my group to split up and cover areas of interest. The booking is for a comfortable ride to the site and entry with the audio equipment to listen to the recorded history of the camp. Do not expect a person to “guide” you through the camp.”
