My wife and I very much enjoyed our private tour of Eagles Nest and the Bavarian Alps with Salzburg Private Tours. From start to finish the experience was superb. We did a customized version of the tour and did not visit the Salt Mines.
The owner Thomas was super easy to work with setting up our tour. He was very responsive via email. When he learned we were visiting Peru later in the summer, he even took the time to email restaurant recommendations for Lima and Cusco.
The Mercedes was spotless and brand new. Super comfortable. Our guide Michael was outstanding. He was super knowledgeable about Obersalzburg and Eagles Nest and the role they played during WWII. While both Thomas and Michael are Bavarian they spoke openly and frankly about that period and Hitler. Both Thomas and Michael were interesting and very knowledgeable. It was easy to spend the day with them. Later that day we visited a few mountain locations from the Sound of Music filming, that due to weather we couldn't visit 2 days earlier, as well as a lovely village from lunch and a hike. We would go back to tour with Thomas and Michael in an instant. Great value for the price
