“Jake was an awesome guide! He was super knowledgeable about the history of the locations we visited & navigation of the area. If there were random places anyone wanted to visit that he wasn’t familiar with, he researched and got the necessary info to ensure everyone got to do everything they wanted! He also went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable throughout our travel, including guiding people to the appropriate trains for returning to their lodging from the Munich Central station at the end of the tour. This is a fantastic tour option for people traveling alone - highly recommend!”

“It was a great day for the Austria day tour to Salzburg and St Wolfgang Town with boat ride. Salzburg is a lovely town, we toured the fortress, walked around the town, saw Mozart home, and church. Restaurant weate at was great and sorry I forgot the name. St Wolfgang was absolutely a beautiful lake town and the boat ride was well worth too. We had a great guide on our bus and her name was Courtney. She was great telling us about the sites as we were driving throughout our entire day. Bus ride was great too. I highly recommend this tour if you're in Munich and want to…”
Private Munich day trip to Kehlsteinhaus, boat on Königssee, and Fortress Hohensalzburg in Salzburg with round-trip transport.
“Our driver Martin was the best. Very friendly, prompt at picking us up at all stops, his car was spotless and he drove very well. And the 3 locations are great spots and very doable if you go into it with a plan (which you need to have as they are simply getting you from point A to point B). For us, the day was challenging due to torrential downpours that lasted the entire day, but we made the best of it and were able to get a unique experience out of it. Because of the rain, the view at Eagles Nest was completely covered in clouds which was beyond…”

“We had an amazing time in Salzburg. This was our tour guide Victorias first tour and if I hadn’t known I wouldn’t be able to tell. She gave us a fantastic tour through the city and was eager to answer any and all questions. She even helped us find the best chocolate shoppe in town. Austria is one of our favorite places and Salzburg is a great day trip from Munich. Highly recommend.”

Private day trip from Munich to Eagle’s Nest and Salzburg with air-conditioned round-trip transfers, flexible timing, and pre-trip ticket help.
“I really wanted to go to the Eagle's Nest and to Salzburg, but we only had one day. This was the way to go. The driver picked us up at our hotel in Munich. He was so nice and was completely accommodating to our schedule. The company was also great in letting us know how and where to prepurchase bus tickets to the Eagle's Nest. This was important in making our schedule work. The driver then took us to Salzburg where we set our own schedule. There was no pressure to meet at any specific time; however, I did want to be respectful of his time. He gave us his…”

“The driver, Martin was great but this excursion DOES NOT include a guide. You are dropped off in Salzburg in front of the Mozart Museum. If you want to see the fortress, good luck finding the cable car. Our driver told us it. Is difficult to find. A map would have been helpful. Skip this one and pay for a walking tour.”
