“If you are doing the lake in winter months it can be icy and a little slippery so take walking boots (and remember your passport as cross border into Germany). The view was amazing and worth the short walk. We travelled into the town which was so Christmassy -loved it! Susie our guide was so informative and we love getting facts that are not just standard blurb! Unfortunately Eagles nest was covered in mist so will definitely be coming back.”

“This was a terrific tour for all ages. Bernie drove us through beautiful Bavarian towns and villages and pointed out interesting sites before we arrived at the salt mine tour. My 20 year old said the salt mine was “the best” with a train, a boat and two slides plus free samples! Really interesting. Bernie them showed us a few more highlights on the way back to the hotel. Delightful’”

“Michael (the guide) was incredible! He was very knowledgable and was able to get us in the front of lines and took us to a wonderful place to eat for lunch. We would recommend this for all that are interested. The time at the Eagle's Nest was short (but enough).”
Private day trip from Salzburg to Eagle’s Nest and the Bavarian Alps with hotel pickup, a narrated small-group tour, and flexible stops.
“We had a wonderful day tour w/ guide, Michael Toth. As we have found with the locals throughout our trip, Michael was punctual and accommodating and took us on stunning side trips that we would not have known to visit. If this is your first trip to Salzburg, the only way to familiarize yourself w/ the sites and history of the area is with a tour like this. Michael is highly recommended because besides being knowledgeable, he is also just a lot of fun!! Skip the big tour groups and go private! Well worth it!!”
