Great Way to See Beyond the City - This tour's description is accurate in that it includes both guided and free exploration. Our tour guide was interesting, humorous and knowledgeable. The ride to Konigssee was picturesque and we had ample time to walk around and see the sights. The bus was comfortable and offered broad views of the mountains. One highlight of the trip was the stop in Berchtesgaden where we were guided to a lovely cafe with the best strudel in the area! It was delicious.

Stunning mountains - Breathtaking scenery and we came on a perfect day. Sunshine and very few clouds. We could easily see the Eagles Nest. Great tour guide.

Fantastic tour, very knowledgeable and beautiful scenery. The bus is comfortable. - The lake and mountains are worth the trip. It's a beautiful journey outside of the city of Salzburg for a few hours.

I wouldn’t recommend. - This tour did not have a lot to offer in my opinion. The view of the eagles nest was not even worth including this as something you see because it is so far away you can’t really see it. And at the lake you aren’t given enough time to see anything.

An Okay Outting - I had expected to be taken further into the alps, not look at them as we drove along. Kings Lake is pretty, but only needed a short stop. We only had 30 minutes in Bechtesgaden, longer would have been better. I felt the trip was organised in order to also incorporate the salt mine trip - to it’s detriment. My seat was broken and kept rocking back. Changing to another seat meant not getting a view. All other seats were taken. Our hosts were friendly and whilst giving us information on the trip, did not talk non-stop, which was nice.
