This tour was absolutely magnificent! Ursula was on of the most knowledgeable and impressive tour guides weve ever had. She provided us with a running commentary both to and from Berchtesgaden, which felt as if we were given a bonus driving tour of Munich and the beautiful German countryside! When we arrived at the Eagles Nest, the weather wasnt great. But, we are convinced her positive energy forced the clouds to part so we could have periods of beautiful views. Ursula did go abound and beyond when she brought us on a short hike through the woods to see the remains of the Residence Farm House. There, she delivered a heartfelt presentation not the impact of the war to Germany. We understand this topic is a very sensitive one to German, but we were particularly impressed with her ability to give perspective in such a heartfelt and genuine way. To top off a truly remarkable day, she recommended we visited a nearby Augustine Biergarten - the oldest in Munich. This ended up being one of our favorite experiences! Such a great recommendation. Overall, this tour was well timed, well excecuted, and SUPERBLY guided by Ursula. Highly recommend his experience for anyone visiting Munich.

Wasted our money , they did not tell us the eagles nest was closed, gave a tour of the salt mines for another 17 euros, unfair

Is a wonderful day trip from Munich. My Tour guide was galloping with joy... as she mentioned that this was her very first time, after few years as a Guide, where the sky was amazing clear 2-3km upon reaching the mountain-foot. Breath-taking sight on the way up with a Special bus... and Wow!, the view was amazingly fantastic.......up there! Have a good walking shoe and SLR camera with U. Such a beautiful scenes.....

Great trip
Review by: Ross M, January 2018
For a first time visit this was fine...........but would go by myself next time now I know how to get there. I wasn't aware that the bus actually had two tour groups on it meaning a detour along the way which probably added an hour / hour and a half to the travelling time. Would have preferred more time up at the Eagles Nest but seemed to be a little hurried to get return bus down and then we had an abundance of time at Berchtesgaden which wasn't necessary guide seemed to want us to eat at the restaurant there instead of the one up at the Eagles Nest. All in all was worth the money and a good way to see for a first timer. Just would have preferred more time at the Eagles Nest rather than the detour / too much time at Berchtesgaden.

This was a really nice trip and I am glad we did it, but a few things were below expectation. The food at the base area at Berchtesgaden was less than wonderful. We spent a long time waiting there after adequate time on top - putting us behind schedule and probably causing us to skip a stop on the return trip. But it is a pleasant day's drive through beautiful countryside - with amazing visibility of the government's impact on eliminating fossil fuel and nuclear energy plants - evidenced by the large number of solar panels on old barns. Well done Germany!

Believe it nor not, but it snowed on the day I went on this trip May. According to the tour guide, the roads were too iced to go to the Eagle's Nest, so we went to a salt mine in Berchtesgaden. This was a VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Felt like I guest wasted a day.

You get to experience history in this tour!

We saw the magnificient views as with good luck we had an excellent sunny weather and warm as well since it was not windy. But all this really depends on the weather for this site. Views are sometimes hidden to fog and in windy weather it could also be quite cold. So crossing your fingers if you aim there.

Very interesting tour. I looked into getting there on our own and without a car it seemed difficult. It was very foggy so not great views that day but Still able to walk around on trails. Lots of info in documentation center.

Beautiful scenery, but the Eagle's Nest is boring. Not worth it.
Review by: Graeme K, October 2017
Very interesting day trip. Our tour guide had very interesting facts about the area, the history and the destination. Only shame was when we were at the top of the Eagle's Nest there was fog and we couldn't enjoy the amazing views. If you are interested in WW2 history and German politics at the time its worth doing this tour.

The Eagles Nest part of the tour was terrific and totally recommended. From the picturesque scenery that you see on the bus trip through to the breathtaking views experienced once you reach the peak. This is truly amazing and well worthwhile if you have a day with excellent weather which we were fortunate enough to.
Review by: TomG, October 2017
Great tour, but bad weather spoiled the views and limited activities. That is a risk when visiting in October.
Review by: Paul C, October 2017
excellent tour pity about the cloud cover but well worth doing
Review by: Richard B, October 2017
Very nice tour. We actually made it to the top and even had some snow to deal with. Would recommend to anyone interested in history.
Review by: Toni, October 2017
It is just a tea house but still very worth the drive out for the view. After you have been up, you go back to where the bus awaits and you can visit Hitler's Bunker.
