The Experience

How do you get from Cesky Krumlov to Mauthausen without renting a car or booking a bus with strangers? A private vehicle picks you up at your accommodation and drives your group—anywhere from one person to fifteen—directly to the memorial site. The driver speaks English, the vehicle is air-conditioned, and bottled water is on board. You're not on a schedule once you arrive; the 4 hours of free time is yours to spend however you need to.

At Mauthausen, you move through the site independently: the prisoner barracks, the SS quarters, the gas chamber, and the Mauthausen Museum. There's no guided narration or timed stops. Some visitors spend the full 4 hours; others move faster. The memorial is open to you, and the pace is entirely yours. When you're ready to leave, the driver returns you to Cesky Krumlov, completing the round trip.

The total time away from your accommodation is 5 to 7 hours, depending on how much time you spend at the memorial and the exact distance from your pickup point. Families with infants can bring a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available if needed. Public transportation options exist near the site if you want to explore the surrounding area, though the private vehicle is your main transport for the day.

Top questions

How much time do I actually have to spend at Mauthausen?

Mauthausen offers up to 4 hours of free time to explore on your own. You decide how long to spend in each area—the barracks, the museum, or any other part of the memorial—and when you're finished, the driver takes you back to Cesky Krumlov.

Will I be on a guided tour, or am I walking around by myself?

You explore Mauthausen independently, without a guide leading the group. The driver brings you there and waits for your return; the time at the memorial is unguided, so you set the pace and choose which areas to visit.

What's included in the price, and what do I need to pay for separately?

The private transport, driver, air-conditioned vehicle and bottled water are all included. Entrance fees to the memorial and museum are not included, nor is lunch; you'll pay those on-site or bring your own food.

Can I book this trip for just two people, or does it only work for larger groups?

The tour operates for groups of 1 to 4 people, 5 to 8 people, or 9 to 15 people—you choose the option that matches your group size at checkout. A private vehicle serves your group either way, so the experience is the same whether you're traveling alone or with others.

What time does the driver pick me up, and when will I be back?

The driver picks you up at your accommodation in Cesky Krumlov (door-to-door service where accessible) and returns you there after the memorial visit. The full trip takes 5 to 7 hours depending on travel distance and how long you spend at Mauthausen; your exact pickup time is confirmed when you book.

Is this suitable if I'm traveling with small children or infants?

Yes. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available if you need one. The trip is suitable for all fitness levels, and you control the pace at Mauthausen, so you can take breaks or adjust the visit to your family's needs.
