Munich To Salzburg, Eagle’s Nest And Königssee Private Day Trip

Tomáš exceeded our expectations! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Tomáš to the Eagles Nest! He communicated with us regularly prior to the trip and made sure we were comfortable during our journey. He is very knowledgeable of the history in the area and pointed out things of interest along the way. When we finished our tour of Eagles Nest we had some extra time so he took us to Konigssee for a nice little break to shop for souvenirs and a snack. Highly recommended this tour and be sure to ask for Tomáš!

Tomas was great! Due to inconvenient circumstances out of anyone’s control, we had to change the plan for the day and it still worked out absolutely amazing. Definitely worth the cost if going to Salzburg is important for your trip and couldn’t be more convenient.

We had Jan as our driver for a private trip from Munich to Konigssee and Salzburg. It was the best day of our trip to Germany! The company was very good at communicating before the trip to finalize pick up time and location and the places to stop during the day. We changed our itinerary to spend more time in Konigssee and Salzburg (did not go to Eagle’s Nest). Jan was prompt for pick up at our hotel and very welcoming. We discussed our plan for the day and Jan was very accommodating and even added some last minute suggestions that ended up being the highlight of our trip! If you want to take the boat ride at Konigssee, it’s a good idea to purchase online tickets before arrival. We thought it wouldn’t be crowded on a random Tuesday, but it was the busiest Jan had seen it — and tickets through the afternoon were sold out. Salzburg was beautiful and we saw a lot in a few hours, thanks to Jan offering some ideas. The weather was perfect which made our day even better! The vehicle was comfortable and Jan is a great driver — we felt safe at all times. Jan is a wonderful person — very kind, considerate, and adventurous! We will find him when we come back to visit! (Jan — thank you for going above and beyond today! I’m glad we got to explore the Alps with you! 😉)

Jan was right on time to pick us up. He got us to Eagle’s Nest early so that we had time to go through the museum before heading up. He then dropped us off at the perfect spot in Salzburg and was waiting for us at a picturesque spot to take our picture before heading back to Munich. I highly recommend Jan for a private transfer!!

Dominic was one of our best drivers we’ve had. He knew the local roads and was able to keep us out of long lines of traffic. He was also very helpful with pointing out some very interesting points of interest on our trip. I would highly recommend him.

Best guide with a lot of knowledge in history. Recommend for all. Great time spent! Thank you! Great comfort and very punctual! 10/10

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 number and told us to call him when we had finished sightseeing.

This was over $1.000 for a driver. He was fine. Friendly and professional. But it was literally just for the ride. A rental car would have been far less. One would have expected a sort of guide with interesting facts and whatnot for that price.

I highly recommend this experience. It's expensive, but worth every penny. We had the most unforgettable day. Our driver was prompt, professional and friendly. We will be doing this again in the future.

It was a last-minute decision to visit Eagle's Nest. All group tours were full, so we ended up taking a private day trip, and I'm glad that we did! Our first stop was Eagle's Nest. We booked a 10:35 bus up and a 1:05 bus down. We completed the tour early and took the 12:35 bus down. Since it was a private trip, we left the place earlier for our next destination, Königssee lake. At Königssee lake, we mistakenly booked a 2-hour boat ride instead of a 1-hour boat ride. I'm glad we made that mistake because the extended ride took us to the nicest part of Königssee. Again, being a private trip, our driver, Filip, just waited patiently for us. We didn't really visit Salzburg town. Instead, while on the boat, we learned from another tourist about a nice beer garden in Salzburg, Augustinerbräu Kloster Mülln. So we went there for a nice meal and, of course, beer!

We had a great trip with beautiful scenery. Our driver Frank was super friendly and helpful throughout the day. We would highly recommend taking the time to see both areas.

A great day to get out of Munich on your own, with a private driver. I booked the day before the tour date. The booking company was very responsive, messaged me to purchase the Eagles Nest Bus Ride tickets within hours of me booking. That helped avoid a huge line the day of the tour. The driver was friendly, accommodating and on time. He was at our service, any stops we wanted to take and for how long. There was water in the car for us, which was a nice bonus with the heat in August. Perfect day!

We had an amazing time with Jan. The best, and the most comfortable way to know more about the area of Eagles Nest and Salzburg even with additional stop at the konigsee. I would not hesitate to do it again. Highly recommend. Thank you a lot for all your knowledge you shared with us.

We booked this private day trip to the Eagle’s Nest and Salzberg Fortress hoping for a luxurious experience on our honeymoon. We did not enjoy our experience and would not recommend it. The places we visited were beautiful however, we could easily have seen them on our own and had a better experience. All in all this experience felt like a very expensive taxi service and did not add to the trip to these locations at all. The day before the trip we confirmed the time of pick up with the company and our driver was prompt at pick up. We were told on this phone call to book our own tickets for the bus ride up to the Eagles Nest and that we would likely arrive there about 2.5 hours after pick up. We booked our tickets accordingly. Our driver drove very fast, weaving in and out of traffic and we arrived there in a little less than 2 hours. During the drop-off at the Eagle's nest our driver said we had 1 hour and we should meet back at the car after that hour. Our tickets that we booked to the summit were not until 11 am and we had arrived at 10 am. I told our driver one hour was not possible since we probably could not even get on a bus up by then. Also, the listing said 3 hours for this location. He seemed confused and said okay he would meet us back in 3 hours. Once we were done with the Eagle’s Nest we tried to meet up with him however his English was not very good and our cell service was spotty so finding him was a challenge. We found each other and he was under the impression that we were done for the day and were heading back to Munich. I informed him that we had another stop on this tour and that we were to go to Salzberg. He again seemed very confused and asked me for the address to the Fortress. I did not have this information and again the cell service was very spotty so I couldn't look it up. We found the address on his phone and he kept asking us if we were going to the right place (shouldn't he have known that?). Once we got to Salzberg he realized he couldn't go any further into town because apparently Salzberg is a pedestrian-only town and was asking us where to go. I finally got frustrated and told him “I don't know, you are supposed to know this”. He pulled over and we got ready to leave for the fortress. Again he said we had 1 hour here and my Husband said no. We were told 3 hours at each location. The driver seemed frustrated and confused and I went to show him the booking I had made and he shooed my hand and phone away and just said: “It’s fine It’s fine”. We left for the fortress feeling extremely frustrated and not in a good mood to really take in the beautiful scenery. We rushed through the fortress and met back with our driver who again sped us home. All in all, the more than 500$ / per person for this private experience was not worth it at all. We spent over 1000$ essentially for a taxi driver who did not know where he was going or what was going on.

We had the best time! Such a perfect experience! Special attention to details! Cold water waiting on us when we got in (vehicle was immaculately clean). Such a good driver!! I brought Dramamine, just in case, but Never needed! Highly recommend!

Atakelt was a very calm professional and kind driver who took us to the Eagles nest and Salzburg. Takes great pictures too.

The two stops meant we had less time at each but a good way to squeeze a lot in for one day. We thought the driver would be a tour guide but it was just a car service- this was different from other trips we booked through Viator.

Everything very interesting, we were short of time. 8 hours is not enough for visiting the two places

The Eagle’s Nest and the Salt Mines in Bertchesgaden. Thomas was delightful and had a comfortable van for the six of us. He was prompt and took great care of us at every stop.
