Embark on an unforgettable day trip from Munich to the iconic Eagle's Nest and the charming village of Hallstatt. Our journey begins with personalized pick-up service, where travelers are whisked away from their desired location within Munich, be it a hotel, Airbnb, or any other preferred spot. Our experienced English-speaking driver will greet guests with a warm welcome, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free start to their adventure. Whether nestled in the heart of the city or tucked away in its outskirts, travelers can relax and enjoy the scenic drive as we depart from Munich and head towards the breathtaking landscapes of the Bavarian Alps. From bustling urban streets to picturesque countryside vistas, our journey promises to offer a delightful blend of city charm and natural beauty.
The Eagle's Nest or Kehlsteinhaus was built in 1937-1938 as a gift for Hitler's 50th birthday. The building is an architectural masterpiece with fantastic views, rising on a narrow rocky ridge at an altitude of 1,834 metres in the middle of the Bavarian Alps near the Alpine town of Berchtesgaden. A visit to the Eagle's Nest is fascinating, your private English-speaking driver will take you to the car park, where a local bus will take you along a steep 6.5km long path carved into the rock. In 15 minutes you'll climb 700 metres. But that's not all. When you reach the upper car park, you'll have to walk through a marble-lined tunnel and then take a luxurious period lift up another 124 metres. There, you'll find not only the interior of the once-famous villa, but also the restaurant and, of course, stunning panoramic views of the Alps.
Nestled on the serene shores of Lake Hallstatt, our journey brings us to the enchanting village of Hallstatt, a destination straight out of a fairy tale. As we arrive, travelers are greeted by a scene of unparalleled beauty, where charming pastel-colored houses line the cobblestone streets, reflecting softly in the crystal-clear waters below. Hallstatt's allure lies not only in its picturesque setting but also in its rich history and cultural heritage. Explore the village's quaint alleyways, where every corner reveals centuries-old architecture and hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. From the iconic Hallstatt Skywalk offering panoramic views of the village and the lake to the fascinating Hallstatt Museum showcasing the region's ancient past, there's no shortage of wonders to explore.
As the sun sets on our unforgettable journey through the Bavarian countryside, it's time to bid farewell to the enchanting village of Hallstatt and embark on the final leg of our adventure back to Munich. But fear not, for our reliable English-speaking driver is here to ensure a seamless and comfortable journey homeward.

With attention to detail and a genuine passion for hospitality, we strive to make every moment of the journey as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
It’s a long drive but well worth the beautiful sites! Joseph took us a couple of beautiful stop on our way to see gorgeous lakes at the foot of the alps. Wish we had more time in Saltzberg but it is just beautiful. Enjoyed our day and Joseph was very accommodating. His car was spotless too!
This was a great trip altogether. We stayed in Munich so it was nice to get out of the city & see the countryside as we traveld to Eagles Nest & Hallstat. Lucas our driver was fantastic & a safe driver. He made sure we got to our destinations on time & we didnt feel rushed once we arrived. The sites at both were something you can only imagine, just breathtaking. It was a great day!
We had a great time on this tour, our driver Peter also took us to a lovely lake town as an extra it was just perfect, long day but worth it
I had one of the most memorable days of not only my trip but my entire life. Tomas was exemplary. He really knows his history, is so personable, and he’s a very nice and sincere guy. He shared all of his vast knowledge of Bavaria and because this is my second tour with him, we have become friends. The Audi Forum is phenomenal, and if you’re a car guy like me, it’s a must see. I guarantee you will love it! The Audis are incredible. The inclement weather conditions made things a little difficult, but not with Tomas. He improvised and went out of his way to make my excursion memorable. Viator is my company of choice for all of my future trips, and Tomas is my tour guide whenever I visit Munich again. Danke!
My son and I really wanted to go to the Eagle's Nest and Halstatt but I was hesitant of Austria's rules regarding foreign drivers (needing an international driving license/special vignette). With this tour, I did not have to worry about anything. Josef picked us up right on time at our AirBnb and drove us to all of the sites. He communicated with us very well through WhatsApp before and during the trip. They also explained when to buy online tickets for entrance into the Eagle's nest based on our pickup time. We were picked up at 8am, had a 2-hour drive and then had enough time to visit the documentation center (about 1 hour) before heading up to the mountain retreat. We spent two hours there and was able to modify our bus ticket down to an earlier time slot and was able to communciate that with Josef. After that, he drove us to Halstatt and gave us options of other places we might go based on our time. We even made a quick side trip to another beautiful lake. The car was clean and comfortable and even though it was a pricey trip, I had peace of mind and the day was stress-free. IJosef is courteous, professional and could answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend.
The view at Eagle’s Nest is beautiful, but for us it was not worth the long drive from Munich. The bus ride up a very narrow and winding road, only to learn it’s really just a restaurant up top with a view. Very disappointing. In addition, we were told to purchase tickets for a certain time, but our driver was late and then we were stuck in traffic. We had to beg the bus driver to let us on since they told us our tickets were no longer valid. Hallstatt, while pretty is overrated. It’s very crowded. We also spent 1 1/2 hours driving there to only have 45 minutes to walk around. Lastly, the driver had so much cologne on it made us nauseous for the long ride.
John our driver was great. Beautiful weather at Eagles Nest. Hallstatt is a nice little town but the quaintness is not what it appears. Very crowded and touristy. Overall a good time however.
Be careful about dates - check independently that the attractions are open for the specific date when you book the tour. We booked the tour to Eagle's Nest and Hallstatt for Monday, March 30th, but then they told us Eagle's Nest isn't open till May. They did provide several great alternatives, so we were still excited about the tour, but then we found out the day of the tour that one of the alternatives was also closed on Mondays in March. BUT our driver came up with another great alternative on the spot and we still had a great time. This was great for flexibility, and the stops were a lot of fun for us and our kids - we loved Hallstatt, the visit to the salt mine, and the cable car that took us to the top of a mountain in the Alps. I would usually prefer a tour where I know what we're doing ahead of time and I can trust that the tour that I booked is available for the date I booked it. I would also have preferred a more informative tour guide instead of just a driver who dropped us off at each stop. But we ended up having a great time and our driver did a great job suggesting the cable car alternative and driving us back to Munich through a snowstorm.
Very disappointing. The cost was really for a driver for the day. The driver's English was minimal, the bus to the top of Eagle's Nest was not included, we needed to book that separate and there was no guided tour - you are on your own at both the Eagles Nest and Hallstatt. Hallstatt is a small town where the driver dropped us off and pointed in a direction for us to find the town or something - we had no idea what we were looking for or where. We found a small street with junk souveniers and then called our driver to come find us. Not recommended. Regarding the Eagles Nest which we really were looking forward to, we were so glad we did a lot of YouTube videos ahead of time or we would have had no idea what to expect since there was no guide our tour.
Wonderful experience, Daniel was great! Great communication, right in time, clean and comfortable car!
We did this tour on a rainy day and still had an absolutely fantastic time! While we didn’t get the sweeping views from Eagle’s Nest due to the clouds and fog, the experience was still very worthwhile. The ride up was atmospheric, and Tomas did a great job bringing the history to life—very informative without being overwhelming. The real surprise hit was the salt mine detour. It was so much fun! Between the miner slides, the little underground train, and the boat ride across the salt lake, it felt like a mini adventure. Plus, it was the perfect indoor activity for a rainy day. Everything ran smoothly and on time, and Tomas kept the energy up even with the gray skies. Highly recommend this tour—rain or shine, it’s a great way to spend the day learning something new and having fun along the way!
Tomas was wonderful! He got us exactly where we needed to be in a clean vehicle, and showed us some hidden gems along the way. We would highly recommend this trip!
Very pleasant and safe trip. Tomas was a considerate driving attending to our needs, while providing safe travel between locations. Eagles nest and Halstat were the highlights of the trip
We took two other day trips from Munich and we had good times with those however this was the very best. It was just the four of us and our driver. We were able to do more in one day then we could with the other two trips. Thomas, our driver was amazing. He could speak five languages and was so knowledgeable on every aspect.
Stuart picked us up at our hotel and drove us on the Eagle’s Nest excursion day trip. He did a great job navigating through the windy roads and traffic. Beautiful scenery and a comfortable trip.
Absolutely beautiful scenery, if you appreciate history and love nature’s beauty, this is for you! Frank was an amazing guide, we communicated well with him. His English was great and his driving impeccable! Recommend highly!
Shpendi is the best ! What a great guide, driver, facilitator and host. We had an incredible time driving from Munich to the Eagles Nest, Hallstatt and back. Despite heavy traffic Shpendi got us to the tour and worked directly with the bus drivers to get us on the next trip up to the Eagles Nest. Got our entire tour back on track! Throughout the day Spending provided great stories and history as well as great conversations and recommendations on the best way to enjoy the sites. Best of all I was able to relax and watch the amazing German and Austrian Countrysides without the stress of driving, navigating, and meeting timelines. The Eagles Nest is a definite go-see site, if you have other options than Hallstatt consider them, looked and felt like a total tourist trap. Head for the Konig See instead, or ask you guide, the trip is tailorable and they have the best experience and recommendations. Well done Radius Tours, very well done Shpendi! We'll see you in Prague!
