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!

Guide went above and beyond!!! - What an amazing tour of The Eagles Nest. Our guide was helpful and very friendly. We feel he went well above and beyond than required. He gave us lots of options for us to visit during our stay in Austria. Our only issue was our tour of the salt mines, which had nothing to do with the tour itself or our guide. We got scheduled with a bunch of high school kids, who were loud and obnoxious. Just be sure your tour group is not with a bunch off high school kids.

Trip to the Alps - Fantastic trip. Carlos was an amazing tour guide. He has a wealth of knowledge and has personal connections everywhere. The eagles nest and salt mine are worth experiencing. He was even able to squeeze in a boat trip on the Konigssee Lake. Memorable trip! Highly recommend!

Terrific experience with Carlos - The sites are constant, but what makes the difference, when hiring a private tour, is the tourguide himself. Carlos was a professional. Prompt, friendly, pleasant demeanor, and quite knowledgeable, our outing was a terrific experience, from start to finish.What made Carlos stand out is his familiarity and knowledge of the places and how it works. He knew just where to park, where to wait and what to do to maximize our time and experience. Our family of 6 have had many private tour guides, but Carlos was noticeable better. Questions and requests were easily addressed and he dropped us off at a local restaurant known for its excellent food and beer. Thank you, Carlos, for a most wonderful, memorable time!
