5.00Luciano was a lovely and very knowledgeable guide for this tour. Some recent health issues have meant that I’m slower and struggle over distances but he was patient and made accommodations where he could to ensure our experience was as inclusive as it could be. Comfortable shoes are a must as is sunscreen for when you get to the summit to enjoy that rare air.

5.00We would highly recommend the private tour even though it is pricey. Our guide, Michael, was friendly and kind. His knowledge about everything was extensive. He obviously enjoys his job! Thank you, Michael!
Very picturesque setting

5.00We were on a tour with a private tour company. We drove halfway up the mountain where we parked the bus and got onto special electric buses which took us to the top of the mountain. Once there we walked in a tunnel to an elaborately decorated elevator that took us up to the Eagle’s Nest, which was built in 1938. We walked though what is today a restaurant but was once the retreat of Adolf Hitler. The rain finally stopped, and we got a great view of the valley below. You could walk around the facility and have a bite to eat if you wish. Eagle’s Nest or Kehlsteinhaus sits at an elevation of 1834 meters. We were advised there were 2000 visitors today, probably less than usual because of the rain. We were next to the last bus down off the mountain at 1700.
Breathtaking

5.00Amazing architecture and construction. The views are unbelievable. Carlos did a great job navigating the crowds and keeping our wait times low, especially with my dad who is older and has troubles walking. He is very knowledgeable and told us the real story of what happened vs Hollywood. We even got to do some extra stuff that wasn’t included. He knew which things to do when, how long they would take, the best path to walk.
Cooler than the other side of the pillow

5.00Pick up and drop-off at our hotel and pre-trip communication was seamless. Very comfortable ride (there were 6 of us) and our guide had lots of interesting information about eagle's nest but also more general info about the region. We had sufficient time to do the exploring and visiting we wanted to do and our guide was particularly helpful in getting us and out of the bus (you can't drive the last portion of the road) in order to minimize wait times. I wish we had had more time for the museum at the end but all in all, it was an educational experience and the trip was smooth and easy.
Great morning!

5.00Luciano was a wonderful guide. He gave us a lot of informations about the Eagle Nest. He made strategic stops so we could enjoy some incredible views of the area. When he brought us back to Salzburg, he showed us different areas where they filmed the iconic movie Sound Of Music. It was great!
