A good afternoon out - The driver gave a running commentary as we passed places of interest. A very pleasant and helpful man.
The time spent at konningsea could be shorter as there was not much there and the time added to looking at Berchtesgarden which is a lovely town

Great afternoon trip - 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.

Don’t go for this trip - It’s not that I expected. Just passing by the Bavarian mountain to see from across far below from the street it’s not I expected
Was disappointed

Detour Detracted From a 5-Star Experience - Time was taken away from our trip because the driver was told he had to take people to the Salt Mines, which was NOT a part of our itinerary. Therefore, our time in Konigsee and Berchtesgaden was cut short to accommodate this out-of-the-way stop which only involved 3 people in our group.
Andreas was a pleasant guide, very informative and very proud of his Austrian heritage. He was quick to point out specific sites as we drove through the Alps, and was helpful in sharing with us important things to see in and around Salzburg.
