Private Memorial Tour from Vienna to Mauthausen & Eagle's Nest
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Prepare for the most comprehensive WWII history tour available from Vienna. In one monumental day, we connect the two extremes of the Third Reich: the brutal reality of the Mauthausen Concentration Camp and the towering symbol of power, The Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus).
This is a long day (approx. 12-13 hours), but we have designed it for your comfort. You travel with a personal team: a professional driver ensures a safe and smooth journey, while your historian guide dedicates the time to explaining the complex history of the era. From the depths of the quarry to the peaks of the Alps, you will see it all.
Experience the surreal ascent through the marble tunnel and the famous brass elevator rising 124 meters through the rock. Standing at the summit, the contrast between the camp’s cold granite and the luxurious Alpine panorama creates a powerful narrative of the regime's duality. We handle all complex logistics, letting you focus entirely on this unforgettable history.

5.00Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. She was well prepared with maps and images to show us while we were traveling. Our driver was excellent as well. He made us feel safe on the autobahn and the vehicle was very comfortable. They modified the tour so that we could experience Schloss Altstaetter, as we had just seen the Mauthausen earlier. And our guide took lots of pictures of us as well.
Perfect

5.00An amazing tour from start to finish and its not only due to the tour destination which is a must do for all history enthusiasts but because of our tour guide(s) jenny and vladymir . Jenny was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very obliging in sharing her vast knowledge of austrian history and of course the sites of our tours as well. In fact both went above and beyond and shared other attractions and connected us to other events of note happening in and around Vienna itself. Her photos she shared of the harrowing events that happened at mauthausen were extremely interesting and at the eagles nest of easy company mortarman bradford freeman returning to eagles nest after so many decades were enlightening to say the least . I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend jenny and vladymir as your guide for the day if you are contemplating the same tours ! Thank you and good luck and all the best to jenny and vladymir

5.00I cannot recommend this trip enough. Jenny is an amazing guide! On the ride from Vienna to Mauthausen, Jenny provided us with an informative history of Austria. Her knowledge of Mauthausen and its history was amazing. It was such an emotional visit - but something that was such a huge part of world history. Then it was off to the Eagle’s Nest. She provided more historical facts about the region on our ride there. We had a cloudy day - the peak was actually in the clouds. But it was still stunning! We had a nice lunch and plenty of time to walk around and read about its history. On the long ride back to Vienna, Jenny set up a movie for us to watch in the car. A nice touch! Driving was comfortable and water provided. I would do another of Jenny’s tours in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a great, friendly tour - book with Jenny and Cozy Travel! We just loved our day with her!
Nice visit

4.00the places are worthwhile to visit. however, I will invert the tour. first the eagle nest and then Maunthausen (more time will need here, this is a personal view). the guide knows, but will be advisable to provide some type of brochure and/or high level summary of what will be visited.
