Itinerary
The Eagle's Nest or Kehlsteinhaus was built in 1937-1938 as a gift for Hitler's 50th birthday. The building is an architectural masterpiece with fantastic views, rising on a narrow rocky ridge at an altitude of 1,834 metres in the middle of the Bavarian Alps near the Alpine town of Berchtesgaden. A visit to the Eagle's Nest is fascinating, your private English-speaking driver will take you to the car park, where a local bus will take you along a steep 6.5km long path carved into the rock. In 15 minutes you'll climb 700 metres. But that's not all. When you reach the upper car park, you'll have to walk through a marble-lined tunnel and then take a luxurious period lift up another 124 metres. There, you'll find not only the interior of the once-famous villa, but also the restaurant and, of course, stunning panoramic views of the Alps.
Salzburg is the pearl of the Austrian region and the famous birthplace of the world's most famous composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Set on the banks of the River Salzach, the city is surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery and dominated by the monumental Fortress Hohensalzburg, perched on the Mönchsberg mountain. As well as its rich history and stunning architecture, the city is also famous as the location for the film musical The Sound of Music. The city's baroque old town is one of the largest UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world. Here you will find breathtaking palaces such as Mirabell and Hellbrunn, museums, cathedrals and of course Mozart's house on the Getreidegasse. This particular street is a mecca of upmarket shops, cafes and restaurants where you can indulge in some of the local specialities. Salzburg is also known as the city of Mozart. Several music festivals are held here each year. At Christmas, the famous Christkindlmarkt is held in the heart of the old town.

Our driver was great, on time (actually early), drove safely, and courteous. This was the perfect way to see the Eagles Nest and easily continue on with our other European adventures. The drive to eagles nest from Munich was about 2 hours. We spent about 3 hours there including grabbing lunch and walking around. It was a perfect overcast day. Then about 45 minutes to our hotel in Salzburg. It was worth the cost of being picked up and dropped off at our hotels and not having to worry about dragging our luggage around.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad your driver made the trip smooth and enjoyable, and that the visit to Eagle’s Nest fit perfectly into your journey. We’d be happy to welcome you again on future travels!
We had a great day touring the German and Austrian Alps. Our driver Tomáš was excellent and although the tour description indicated that the drivers are not actually tour guides, I would say Tomáš is as good as any tour guide we have used across many trips in Europe. He knew the area very well and was able to share a lot of historic knowledge mixed with a good amount of humor. Given that we spent a considerable amount of time in the car, the laughs made it go very quickly…The other thing that made this an exceptional tour was Tomas’s depth of knowledge in and around Salzburg. He knew both the notable landmarks and quite a few less known, but very interesting places to see and where to get some great food.
Dear, John. Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great day touring the German and Austrian Alps and that Tomáš exceeded your expectations. It’s fantastic that his knowledge, humor, and insights into Salzburg and the surrounding area made the journey enjoyable and memorable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
Excellent service! Very friendly and helpful. Made our journey so much easier and relaxed! Highly recommend.
Hi, Ann! Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We're delighted to hear that the service helped make your journey more comfortable and stress-free. Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!
We took this tour to Salzburg to see it decorated for Christmas and to visit the Christmas Markets. The description specifically says that we will have an English speaking driver. We did not. He barely even spoke a few words. We had to communicate with hand gestures and Google translate. It was very difficult. He was very very nice and tried to be as helpful as possible. Which we really appreciate, but we really needed someone who could speak English. The two hour drive to Salzburg was silent. The two hour drive back to Munich we all slept because we couldn’t talk to him. We were pretty disappointed.
Eagle's Nest was closed. The alternate trip to Konigsee ended up being closed. Unfortunately we didn't know that until we got there. We ended up going to Salzburg. And that was fabulous. I wish we had spent the whole day in Salzburg.
Hi, Edyth! Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s disappointing when unexpected closures affect plans, but we’re so glad to hear that Salzburg turned out to be a highlight for you! It’s truly a beautiful city with so much to offer. We appreciate your flexibility and hope your time in Salzburg made up for the unexpected changes.
Though a rainy and cold day, Nikolai was the bright spot as our driver. He was prompt and delightful. We did expect a little more than just being dropped off at each destination, but we asked what we should do and see, and Nikolai gave us suggestions. This is a private driver with a self-guided tour and not a private guided tour...so set your expectations. We would still do it again, but it was very pricy for just being dropped off.
Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review! We're glad to hear that Nikolai made your day brighter with his promptness and delightful personality, even on a rainy and cold day. We appreciate your feedback regarding the nature of the service as a private driver with a self-guided experience, and we understand how this could be different from a fully guided tour. It’s great to know that Nikolai was able to provide helpful suggestions for each destination. We value your input and will use it to improve our services. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you on another trip in the future!
We originally had plans to visit the Eagles Nest but unfortunately it was closed unexpectedly due to weather. Our driver Petr offered up alternative suggestions so we continued on the journey and visited Salzburg and the salt mine. Even tho our original plans had to be changed, the trip was still amazing. I would highly recommend visiting the salt mine and going on the tour thru the mine. What an experience!
Hi, Daniel! Thank you so much for your kind review! While it's unfortunate that your original plans to visit the Eagle’s Nest had to change due to weather, we're thrilled to hear that Petr was able to offer great alternatives and that you still had an amazing trip. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed Salzburg and the salt mine tour—what an unforgettable experience indeed! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
It was a an excellent day! Our driver gave us a good history of the castles and area. The car was very clean and comfortable.
Hi, Kristin! We're thrilled to hear that you had an excellent day and enjoyed the history shared by your driver. It's great to know that the cleanliness and comfort of the car added to your experience. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to our driver. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again on your future adventures!
We could not have been more thrilled with this excursion and our personal driver, Thomas. He was so talkative and informative. There was one minor issue where Viator communicated the wrong time to Thomas to pick us up, but he was able to get right in his car to get us and we were still on time to our bus tickets to Eagles Nest. It was a great day!
Hi, Amanda! Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you had a wonderful day and that our driver Thomas helped you with it, especially with the right pick up time for you to get on time to the Eagle's Nest and keep the itinerary as planned. We look forward to seeing you soon again and assisting you with any other transfer or day trip all across Europe.
