Wonderful experience ✴️ - We had a wonderful time with Johannes who explains everything so well...we even did the Sound of Music tour with him yesterday and were so pleased when we say him this afternoon again. Alex drive the bus skillfully and safely. The tour itself takes you through enchanting mountains to the stunning lake with crystal clear waters... absolutely loved this trip !

Highly Recommend - This was a great experience, our guide Andre' was funny, insightful, and did a great job of pointing out what to see and what was maybe a waste of time, but gave us the option anyway. I would recommend this tour especially if you want some great mountain pictures!

A Quality Experience you'll never forget! - This was a very enjoyable and informative tour. Our guide was Leopold who was exceptional in his knowledge and presentation. We saw amazing scenery which I'll never forget, learned things about Eagles' Nest, The Sound of Music, and we did the Salt Mines tour, which was incredible. Then we got to spend nearly an hour at the most delightful village of Berchtesgaden. Some great shopping to be done there! This was a well-planned, informative tour and I recommend Leopold as an excellent guide; lots of fun!

We had a fantastic clear... - We had a fantastic clear day for this tour. If it had been cloudy it wouldn’t have been as good. It was a small van, just 8 of us and our driver / guide tailored the tour to us. Lots of beautiful views, snowy mountains and history. We saw the Eagles Neat from a distance. Plenty of time near the lake to walk and visit one of the numerous coffee and cake shops. As it was between seasons ghe other shops were closed, but that didn’t matter to us.

Bavarian Mountains - It was a great tour, but our time in the National Park was too short. The drive was beautiful. Our guide, Andreas was very nice.

Stunning scenery - Packed into a minivan, we saw the beautiful Alps and lake. Stunning scenery, not too busy, but having an hour free time at both locations was a bit long.

Inaudible guide and Konigsee a waste of time - After such a great experience on the Sound of Music tour we were really looking forward to our second tour with this company. Unfortunately the guide and itinerary did not live up to expectations. Max the guide was unintelligible. Even when we complained we couldn’t hear him he still mumbled into the mike. I’m sure what he was saying would have been interesting if we could have heard him! He did not give clear guidance at the stops and walked off without ensuring the whole party was with him. The stop at Koningsee was not enjoyable. We only had an hour which was not enough to take a boat trip and to see the lake you needed to walk fast uphill for 20 minutes. The stop was at a very commercial area of the lake. Bergtesgaden was a very pretty alpine village. We just didn’t have enough time to enjoy it within the hour allowed. Extend one stop and cut out the other to make this an enjoyable and good value trip. The only good part of the trip was the views of the Alps from the coach and the skill of the coach driver.
