5.00FABULOUS!! My husband and I can’t say enough good things about Patrick and the wonderful private tour he gave us. Prior to my booking, Patrick was very responsive to my questions, and he ensured that our tour included as many of my requests as were possible. It was an ideal combination of “Sound of Music” sites, along with great insights about Eagle’s Nest and the ruins of Hitler’s house. The icing on the cake was Patrick’s great personality and sense of humor. (Plus, he was always happy to assist with my picture-taking requests!) I HIGHLY recommend Patrick and MCM Tours to anyone who wants a high-quality, customized, and informative tour, led by a knowledgeable and very personable guide!
Just go!

5.00Our guide Manfred was amazing! He was very flexible and took us places that most tourist don't see! We did not go to Eagles nest as originally planned but we got to see it from afar but did not have to take 2-3 hours out of our day to see it He was very personable and very knowledgeable! He was by far the best guide we have ever had! Highly Reccomend. Thank you Manfred! Your friends from Kansas City !!
