A Wonderful Day - Carlos made what could be a complicated trip using public transport work like clockwork for the six of us. Stunning scenery and history. Became an extension of our Sound of Music tour as he took us where the opening scene was filmed and shared a wealth of info! The Eagle’s Nest is awe inspiring in its history and stunning location. All profits from this reminder of the Third Reich and WWII go to charity. The salt mine was also interesting and fun!

We would do this tour again! - The drive alone was worth the cost. Absolutely gorgeous views of the Austrian mountains with tidbits of information about the filming of the Sound of Music. The Eagles nest itself was closed because of a snowstorm two weeks prior so we were only able to go to the information center. Still very well worth visiting and very informative. The Salt Mine was interesting and really fun. Our tour guide Michael was spectacular! We learned so much about Salzburg and thoroughly enjoyed his company! We had a fantastic time and we highly recommend this excursion.

Amazing Experience for our family of 8! - We had Michael as our tour guide, he was incredible! We learned and saw so much more with his knowledge and expertise navigating the Eagle’s Nest and the salt mines. So worth the effort to see both tours and let Michael take you there!

Fantastic Day with Michael - We had an amazing day with Michael! He picked us up at our hotel promptly at 9 AM. We then went to Eagle’s Nest and he explained all of the different landmarks and areas that we passed along the way. We visited the documentation center and the bunkers. After Eagle’s Nest we headed to the salt mine tour, and stopped for lunch at a brewery. It was great to go to a place that was clearly a local favorite. The salt mine tour was next. It was in-depth. Probably not great for anyone who can feel claustrophobic. Very interesting and the guide spoke German as well as English. There were many families on the tour and it held the children’s attention. After our tours, Michael drove us around and showed us great places to go for dinner. He has so much knowledge about the area and frankly about the world. We had a great time and were sad when the day came to an end.

Great tour - This was a great tour and Luciano was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Obersalzburg and Eagle’s Nest. The salt mine portion was a lot of fun.

Amazing! - We cannot recommend Michael Toth at Salzburg private tours enough! We had 4 adults and 4 children (6-8 yrs old) and he provided the most energetic and appropriate tour! Adults learned, children were happy/engaged, and we had a great lunch together! Highly recommend for adults or families!
