This tour was really good, just to see a piece of history, all be it not pleasant history. It is worth doing just for the views.

This is a really good tour and an easy way to see Eagles Nest from Salzburg. It is a big bus tour, but it still gets the job done and the tour guide offered excellent insights while on the bus. We benefited from a lovely day, and going to Eagles Nest is really about the amazing views rather a deep dive into history. The lunch stop in Berchtesgaden was also great and we had just the right amount of time for both stops. Definitely a worthwhile tour!

It was a rainy, cold and moody day but it couldn't have been more beautiful. Highly recommend hiking a bit around the Eagle's Nest. The bus tour up the road was great too and it was nice to be out in the countryside. Lunch in the little village was delicious.

amazing day tour from Salzburg. The views of the Alps are absolutely amazing from here and the history of Eagles Nest provided by our guide was informative.

The drive up was good and the town stop on the way back but it was so foggy we couldnt see 3 feet in front of us! Unfortunate but Im sure it would be great on a better day.

What a place to visit and what a lot of history._br/_ We went here on a very wet day. We saw nothing of the view but that was preferable to vertiginous drops. The gentleman manning the lift from the bus parking area to the Eagle's Nest was straight out of Nazi Germany, a dangerous character who gave visitors a push to urge them out of the lift at a faster pace._br/_ Our guide was an older man with an Australian accent. He was unhelpful and authoritarian, like a teacher taking a class on a school tour. I noticed another tourist explaining to him that she would not tolerate his attitude. A well versed, respectful guide is necessary on a paid day excursion.

The trip was well organized. Tour guide was interesting and knowledgeable. _br/_ Booking was simple. Highly recommend the tour! Check the weather forecast when booking if possible. The view is spectacular. A cloudy day will diminish your enjoyment of the surrounding mountains.

Excellent organisation and knowledge of the history and physical surroundings. Nice stop in the village and Time to enjoy a meal or discover.

Great tour! Don't even think of leaving Salzburg without visiting the Eagle's Nest. WW2 history aside, the views of the Austrian/German Alps is breathtaking!

The scenery and history up there was amazing

Didn't go bad weather up the mountain
Review by: Jonathan M, November 2017
Great trip, extremely interesting. Unbelievable scenery as well as a very strong sense of history. The fact that snow was lying at the top added to the experience, though any more and the trip would have been cancelled.Very well organised and well looked after by our humorous guide! I would definitely go back and would like time to look around the area where the Berghof once stood.

Well worth a visit and would have been better in a smaller group. I would have liked much more time to explore on the mountain itself. A little rushed to soak up the ambience of the brass lift and the building.

You can do this tour in 1/2 day - which I liked. We were lucky to have amazing weather in mid October. The views are breathtaking and our guide was very informative. Once on the top of the mountain you have some time to wonder on your own and take advantage of photo opportunities.

Got lucky and had beautiful weather, especially considering snow closed it a few days previous. The guides were very entertaining and made the trip go far too quickly. :-

Tour guide and bus driver were great. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the bus driver was funny. The weather on this day was not great but that is not a factor into the lower rating. The Eagles Nest itself was a bit of a let down. 80 of the building is now a restaurant so the history of the building is only really shown in a handful of places. If you go here for the views then it will go above and beyond what you are looking for, if you are a history buff then it will be a letdown. Berchtesgaden was pretty much shutdown for the day because it was a German holiday. With that in mind I think they should have not offered this tour on this day or modified it. We spent in hour there with not much to do.

Must do tour,very informative.
Review by: Mark B, October 2017
We liked the tour. It was a little quick could have almost made a day of it. The Eagles Nest was really neat but the weather didn't cooperate. It was cold and raining with sleet but that is not the tours fault. Would have like to have seen more of the area around the Berghof but we quickly drove by it. Would have like to explored Berchtesgarden more. We had only an hour and had to rush lunch.

What a great place to see.
Review by: Patricia W, October 2017
The tour of Eagles Nest was truly amazing. The bus ride was exciting but very scary with the narrow road and how high into the mountains we travelled. The scenery was beyond anything I have ever seen. However, the guided tour was not very guided. Once we were up on the Eagles Nest we were left to ourselves to look around without a tour guide.
