Overview

This private 8-hour tour will show you the highlights of the Bavarian Mountains. Your private driver-guide will take you to the very best of Bavarian Mountains with its world famous attractions, such as the Eagle’s Nest (or Rossfeld summit), the salt mines, the town of Berchtesgaden and Kingslake (Koenigssee).

From about Nov to April (depends on the snow condition of the year), the Eagle's Nest direct access road is closed, alternatively we offer to visit the Rossfeld summit instead. From this vantage point, soak in panoramic views of the stunning Austrian and Bavarian Alps and the nearby Eagle's Nest. Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle's Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle's Nest.

This tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Austria. Our guide Manfred was on time picking us up and was full of interesting information during the day. Manfred went out of his way to show our family of 4 (including 2 teenage boys) beautiful and interesting sights. Manfred had made our reservations in advance for the Salt Mine (AMAZING tour) and lunch and was also very adaptable to adjust our schedule when the weather shifted. We truly saw more off the beaten path highlights and interesting little stops that we never would have encountered otherwise. In addition, Manfred went out of his way to help us secure dinner reservations in Salzburg at local hotspots. This tour was fabulous and our family highly recommends it!!!

MCM Tours and Travel were very accommodating from the start. They were prompt in answering my emails prior to our trip and making suggestions that would work for my family of 5. We chose to tour the Eagle's Nest from Salzburg, on a Sunday. We wanted to go to the 8:30am mass first at the Cathedral. Patrick picked us up promptly at 10am right outside the cathedral at Mozartplatz (Mozart Square). His van fit us comfortably, and it was very clean. He spoke very good and clear English. From there we went to the Salt Mine Tour. We weren't planning on doing the salt mine, but we had our 3 young adult children that range from 19 to 25, Patrick recommended it and a friend from home said it was fun plus it was raining, so we decided to do it. It was surprisingly fun. I'm glad Patrick suggested it. From there we drove to the Eagle's Nest looking at beautiful scenery and listening to the history of the area from our guide. I always like private tours. You get to learn about the history, but also present day "real" life from your guide. What it's like to live in Austria today, his life and family etc... Before the Eagle's Nest we wanted to stop for lunch and Patrick guided us to a lovely rooftop restaurant called Restaurant Panorama in Berchtesgaden. It had wonderful views of the Alps and the Eagle's Nest. Wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for Patrick. After lunch, we proceeded to the Eagle's Nest. Patrick made it very easy for us to get the tix and the bus up the mountain. He came along and provided info about the place and had us go outside on the terrace first because he knew the rain would be coming. It's just easy when you have a guide. You struggle with the travel of getting to a foreign country, all the luggage, the language barrier and all the other unknowns. It's just easy when you have someone as kind and knowledgeable taking care of you along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour and this tour group. They provide a great product and great service. Worth the money.

Amazing tour and experience. Manfred and Patrick were first-class tour guides. Both men were very knowledgeable, gracious, and accommodating who took every opportunity to listen to the groups needs. They made the entire experience welcoming and relaxing. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty and majestic scenery of the Alps! Loved every minute of it. MUST DO TOUR!

We had a great tour of the mountain region near Salzburg. Our guide, Patrick could not do enough for us and informed us of the history and the significance the region had on world events. We would use this tour company again in a heartbeat. One of the highlights of our holiday. Mike, Karen and Nick from the land down under.

Unfortunately we didn't see much of the Bavarian mountains during the raining and cold season in May. Didn't like the guide because he didn't planned well for our private tour and he was kinda rushing us. But he did recommended us a good restaurant to eat at Werfen for lunch.
