5.00An excellent tour of Eagle’s nest and a small town on the way back. We took a morning tour. Bus was large and comfortable and the tour stayed on time and it was easy to get to the meeting point which was very central in town. Tour guide was professional, friendly and knowledgeable and the driver was skilled for the winding road!
Very cool

5.00Unfortunately, you really can’t see much of the full Eagle’s Nest, but the view is incredible and our tour guide was fantastic! He has a great sense of humor and did a great job of pointing out interesting sites along our journey.
Excellent tour, must see

5.00Alenka was a superstar guide. Kept the whole tour interesting, on track and very educational on the bus. Tour itself was well organised and the Panorama team managed the herd well. Eagles Nest is small but interesting and there is just enough time to walk up and back to the main peak past the cross and enjoy the views. Likewise just enough time to either shop or eat on the town visit.
Amazing Adventure

4.00This experience was amazing, to see how this place was built was incredible. The views from the top need to be seen to be believed. We did luck out I feel with our guide though, he came across arrogant and not as informative as the last time we visited. Could have been a lot more informative for our children who were really interested, also left people behind off the bus with little care.

5.00Our Tour guide to the Eagles nest was informative of the history of Austria leading up to the construction of the eagles nest. Jose was charming, friendly and energetic throughout the tour as we traveled into some extremely beautiful Austrian/Germany-boarder countryside. Highly recommend the excursion
