Amazing tour into the mountains and to Hitlers Eagles Nest. Our guide was very informational and told us a lot of history not only about the Eagles Nest but the surrounding countryside as we travelled on the bus to and from the area.
An enjoyable and informative trip to the Eagle's Nest

Well organized interesting tour with an excellent guide. The Eagle's Nest is very busy with visitors so it helped considerably to be able to jump the queues to access it. Our guide was both amusing and informative which added to the enjoyment of the trip.

We were rushed. We only had 30 minutes to walk around. Not worth it. No history giving by tour guide.

Wonderful views on the mountain when it's clear. Beautiful scenery through the countryside. Disappointment when arriving at Eagles Nest as there were only 3 rooms and terrace of which the cafe and shop occupied to look at. Not much to see in the rooms as there was no furniture laid out as it was at that time.
