Great views from Eagles Nest! - We had a great time on this tour. It was easy to book and easy to find the bus for the tour. Philip was a great tour guide who was funny and clear on instructions and information relating to the area and Eagles Nest. There were actually two buses that departed from Salzburg so we had to advantage of having two tour guides present providing us information. The location of Eagles Nest was worth the trip alone. The views of the Alps were unparalleled. After touring the Eagles Nest location, we visited a cute small town and had some pastries for lunch and also got to walk around the shopping area. I would recommend this tour!

Nice views - A nice ride thru beautiful countryside. There is a stop at a small quaint town after Eagles Nest. We did not see much of the Eagles Nest building (most of it is a restaurant) but the view from outdoor path was phenomenal

Well Organized and Friendly - Everything was very organized and the tour guide was enthusiastic! The tour guide ensured families stayed together and seating was sufficient. They also answered everyone’s questions and were a great help overall. I would note that you don’t spend too much time on the top of Eagle’s Nest so don’t plan on doing any major trails, but it felt like just enough time to see the main views.

Great trip - We had such a great day for this tour to Eagle’s Nest. Our guide was Andres and he was very knowledgeable. Smooth process in changing over to the buses for the climb up the mountain. We had about 1 hour to wander around the top. It was amazing. Breathtaking views. Then a nice stop at Berchtesgaden village for lunch on the way back. Really good tour and day out.

Know before you go - Beautiful drive. Guide was ok. Should include bunkers and less time up top since not much up there. Reality vs Hollywood interesting and a little bit of a let down. Bus transfer totally disorganized although understand not totally within guide control but our guide seemed disoriented. Note if claustrophobic elevator could be a real problem Would recommend to some but not all
