It will be quite a bit cooler and windy, so dress appropriately, and wear sturdy shoes - it will be worth it! Mirko was a good tour guide.

Great tour and very informative- we were so lucky - there was a festival in Berchtesgaden. A parade and music. The Eagles Nest views were breathtaking. Definitely a must!

It was a good half day trip. It was nice seeing the countryside; forests, mountains, rivers and quaint farms and villages. The eagles nest and its history was interesting. It was rainy with a heavy fog, so unfortunately the view was totally obscured. It was still worth the time.

Mitch our guides knowledge of the history leading up to the Nest being built was top class. Thoroughly recommend even though it was a wet and cloudy day.
