Richtige gemütlichkeit! - We were taken by Obrat (aka O’brad Pitt), super friendly and funny! He knew all about the area on the way to our destination. He spoke English and German very well. Along the way we made a number of stops with viewpoints, where Eagles Nest and the salt mines. The Könings see was beautiful, highly recommended! In short, a great day with a very nice tour guide!

Beautiful experience - The tour guide was great. It was such a nice tour just wish we had more time to enjoy the town AND do the salt mines. Didn’t realize they very close. The bus was so clean and guide was so nice.

Great tour.... not so great tourists. - I really want to give this tour 5 stars but other guests on the tour ruined it for me. Tour was awesome... guide was very knowledgeable, views did not disappoint. There were others on the tour from Japan that were very rude and talked loudly 3/4 of the trip during tour guides dialog. It really soured our experience.

Complete Waste of Money - We were extremely disappointed with this tour. It is supposed to be a Bavarian Mountain tour, but you see almost nothing of the Bavarian Mountains on it. The bus also included those who booked the salt mine tour, and for the rest of us, the tour consisted of dropping the others off at the mine and then an all-too-short stop in Berchtesgaden. The bus doesn't really take you through much of the Bavarian Mountains at all. We thought it was a total waste of money and would not recommend it at all.

Nice scenery but - Driver/guide was not skilled in driving or directions. Very jerky shifting and got lost once. When we got to destination she wasn't very helpful in pointing out where to go or things to see. Scenery was nice but not enough time at lake konigssee and too much time at shopping stop.

WASTAGE OF MONEY. NOT WORTH AT ALL. DON'T OPT FOR THIS TOUR. - This particular Tour is not worth at all. They clubbed our tour with another tour to Salt Mines. after dropping the travellers at Salt Mines, The driver drove us to Kings Lake. On the way we were shown some mountains from our bus. We were told these were the Bavarian Mountains. Thereafter we were dropped at parking of King's Lake. We were told to walk to see the Kings Lake and come back in an hour. Considering the distances and walking track its not possible to reach the Lake View Point. The last point of the tour Berchtesgaden is nothing but Time Pass activity in a Parking Area. DON'T OPT FOR THIS TOUR. NOT WORTH AT ALL

Not worth it - This is not worth the time or money, they cram you in a tiny van that you can't see out of and just takes you to a couple of little towns with a bunch of souvenir shops. I was under the impression that we were going to see some beautiful mountain scenery but the windows were dark and we were shoved in the back with high head rests, I was starting to feel car sick and claustrophobic. We couldn't even hear the guide/driver. It was way too expensive as well. I wish we would have taken a Sound of Music tour instead. Don't waste your time or money!!

Very disappointed - don't waste the time or money. - Waste of time and money. Trip included a one hour stop at a town to shop/eat. Nothing different than all of the streets in Salzburg, except I'm paying for it as a " mountain tour"! The rest includes a stop for an hour by a lake to go through tourist shops...again, just like in Salzburg. Don't waste your time or money on this trip.
