Additional Information

Merge the two private tours we offer, The Eagle’s Nest and Hallstatt, into an unforgettable day trip and make the most of your vacation. Begin the day with a tour of the Bavarian Alps and delve into Adolf Hitler’s WWII hideouts, with a visit to the Nazi leader’s mountain-top haven, the Eagle’s Nest. Explore the establishment and its breathtaking panoramic view before descending to Obersalzberg, from where we head to Hallstatt. Travel alongside the jade-green Fuschlsee and pause at its castle; snap a photo from an excellent viewpoint above St Gilgen, the birthplace of Mozart’s mother. You’ll have a 2-hour window to discover Hallstatt, a place that offers the chance to visit all the secluded, yet beautiful spots, as well as the popular attractions; whilst soaking in 7000 years of history. On our return journey to Salzburg, we’ll briefly stop at the Gosausee, with the gleaming Dachstein glacier in the background.

Amazing Day In Salzburg - I wish I could go e this 10 stars. This tour was everything we imagined plus more. Seeing the Eagle’s Nest has always been on my husband’s bucket list. This tour and Carlos exceeded all of our expectations. Carlos was full of knowledge and taught us so much history. He knew all of the tricks to avoid lines and took us to places we were surprised and thrilled to see. I cannot say enough good about this tour, Salzburg Private Tours, and Carlos.

Salzburg Private Tours and Carols Make the Experience! Worth Every Penny! - My parents (72 y.o) and myself (40 y.o) stopped over in Salzburg for a few days after several days of travel from France and Germany. With some forethought we had determined that we would likely be tired by this point in the trip and had considered that a private tour may be worth the money to tour the remaining areas of Bavaria and to see Eagles Nest, without the hassle of all of the unknowns associated with independent travel. Words cannot express how good this tour was. Carlos was our tour guide and he was FABULOUS. He arrived at our hotel prior to us meeting him in the lobby. He had a very clean, new and well equipped Mercedes van that we then loaded. He was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of Salzburg and Eagles Nest and worked with us to determine the itinerary specific to the interests and ability levels of our little group. Weather was up in the air during our tour, with clouds moving in and a chance of rain. We opted, based on his suggestions, to reorder the trip according to forecast to optimize chances of better views and less time in the rain. He predicted everything perfectly. We stood in no lines, he facilitated ticket purchases, and the timing was impeccable. Carols has profound knowledge of the Eagles Nest and history surrounding the multiple sights we were able to see and he was very assertive in getting us the best experience possible. Hands down I would recommend this private tour as it amplifies your experience and exposure to the history/facts of the surrounding areas and attractions while simultaneously reducing stress and fatigue that naturally arise when traveling in unknown regions where variables such as crowds, lines, weather and language barriers are at play. Salzburg private tours does not disappoint! Request Carlos -- he is fabulous!

Fabulous tour of Alps - We had an absolutely amazing tour thanks to our guide, Michael, who gave us so much insight into the details of Hallstatt one day and Eagle’s Nest the next day, with many amazing stops and views along the way that we wouldn’t have gotten on our own or with a large tour. Michael is incredible - he is a true professional and went above and beyond to provide a great day for us, also adding the bonus of his fantastic sense of humor. Both trips are touristy but worth it, for the history but even more so for the views!

Perfect personalized experience - I cannot say enough good things about this option, and our guide Michael. He allowed us to customize our day and took us everywhere we asked to go. We skipped Eagles Nest and went to a salt mine instead, and also added multiple sound of music sites. Michael was knowledgeable about every site, even the ones added by us. He saved us time by calling ahead and booking our spots at the salt mine. We made 8 stops, each one with beautiful views. This was the highlight of our two weeks in Europe.

Great tours with Michael Toth - We went on two tours with Michael Toth and he was absolutely incredible. We highly recommend him! He was very knowledgeable, professional, and offered a variety of options to ensure we were able to see and experience many aspects of Salzburg and the surrounding area. He provided restaurant recommendations and knew the most scenic routes to take us. Don’t hesitate for a second to book a tour with him!

Great tour with Carlos! Eagles Nest and Halstatt Private Tour - We had a wonderful private tour with Carlos to Eagle’s Nest and Hallstatt. Carlos was very informative and personable. He also was a good driver which was important to me as I was nervous about the winding roads in the Alps. He gave us a lot of information and history of the area. I would highly recommend Carlos for your private tour. We called him the mayor because he knows everyone everywhere we went and was able to navigate the lines quickly and get us where we needed to be. 5 stars!
