Top Obernai Half-day Tours

Mickael was a great guide. He was very helpful with finding where my ship was ported, which was a little tricky. So thankful for the chance to revisit history and remember all those lost. We also had a nice trip to the monastery after with incredible views!!

A must-do if you are in the area. Very informative and very moving. Ideal for teenagers, especially as part of their school curriculum. Very pleasant reception staff.

Mickaël was very knowledgeable about the area and is a friendly host. The only shame was that we picked the hottest day EVER to visit such spectacular surroundings!

Mickael is a great guide. Excellent communication before meeting, comfortable car (with excellent AC!) shared a lot of interesting info about the area, his family history as it relates to Alsace’s history and just general good tips for the area. Wear good shoes for the Struthof visit. The other stops after a heavy experience made the day end on a light note. On Struthof: if u know a lot of WWII history you can cruise through the indoor intro museum. If you don’t, make sure u read the info.

Scary and confronting.

This concentration camp forgotten history books, is to be visited absolutely for the duty of memory. Seeing that men can do to other human beings, is unthinkable. It is an interesting visit, too bad that the gas chamber cannot be visited every day.

Guided tour of the only French concentration camp. Many emotions and questions about the cruelty of some of our fellow human beings. In our opinion, visiting with a guide is not essential: all the information is available at the reception or during the crossing of the camp and its buildings.

Superb museum on a period of the very dark war where many photos testify to the atrocity of the camps built to exploit and exterminate innocent women and jmmes

Visiting a Nazi concentration camp is a sobering, saddening and educational experience. This camp is a unique experience, as it is the only one on French soil. Mickael conducted this tour with respect and dignity, allowing us to learn and immerse ourselves in the camp experience. He did a great job taking us through the Vosges mountains and an ancient abbey and small village. He is warm, engaging and informative. Highly recommend.

We took a tour of the concentration camp and I highly recommend choosing this format more than an audio guide. The tour lasts 1h15 with the guide, it takes you to places you will not see if you just take the audio guide, it allows you to dive into the memories of this site full of history, suffering and atrocity. A place full of emotion, where the memory of all these deportees touches you in the heart. The tour ends with a museum and then gives you access to a tour of a gas chamber. A visit strong in emotion but which marks the spirits.

Mickaël was very good, provided lots of information when required. Surprised us with a little snack when we visited the memorial on the way back to Strasbourg. Easy going and comfortable to be with.

It’s a visit full of emotion and history! Unfortunately when we went there, no one at the ticket office warned us that the gas chambers would be closed (it’s a shame, because we drove there for nothing ...) Anyway, I advise it is really a rich and very interesting experience!

It is a place full of history that paradoxically stands in a magnificent setting. The museum and the short film allow you to learn more about the place, its origin, its dark history and how the different prisoners lived. Some barracks are still standing and visitable for a complete and unique immersion in France. The site’s heavy past and the horrors that took place throughout the Second World War are quickly felt. The restoration, restoration and conservation work that allowed this site to be left open for visitors is to be commended. The museum is very complete, perfectly retraces the chronology of the site. Objects from the period, letters and testimonies bring us a very touching abyss. In addition, the laboratory, the crematorium, the prison and the canteen can be visited. The gas chamber is not directly on site and accessible without the need for a ticket (a few kilometers below). Note that the tour by a guide is feasible and very pleasant to follow.

An emotionally rich historic place whose facts are recounted by a passionate guide. Thank you Roland for making us live this moment!

What a horror for those who were kept prisoner or executed in this place. Human madness has no limit. It is important to conserve this kind of site so that future generations avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

It is very impressive, unforgettable and shocking to visit this Nacht und Nebel (the highest penal regime) concentration camp. However, I have some points of improvement for the conservator: 1. nice that there is a free audio tour with profound stories. Too bad, however, that the places it is about are not marked with a sign with a number. The numbering is on a map and that doesn't work very well. 2. in the Cartoffel cellar are beautiful pictures with captions in French. Fortunately, there are also large plastic cards with explanations in English or German. Unfortunately, it is impressively dark in that basement and the cards are black with lowercase letters so unfortunately the texts on those cards are illegible. Too bad! 3. The barracks with art made by the prisoners is incredibly overwhelming. The explanation in English and German is on tableaux there. Seems perfect but then it turns out that there is no anti-reflective glass on it and that there is a bright spot above each tableau. As a result, these texts are also not legible.In my view, it does not have to cost a whole lot of money to solve the above problems. It would make the experience of this camp a lot more pleasant especially for visitors who do not speak the French language.
