Michael (the guide) was incredible! He was very knowledgable and was able to get us in the front of lines and took us to a wonderful place to eat for lunch. We would recommend this for all that are interested. The time at the Eagle's Nest was short (but enough).

Our guide was simply excellent. Picked us up from the hotel in a new and roomy luxury car, was on time, brought water for us, and knew the area and it’s history. He was familiar with the tourism spot and other tour guides so we had privileged seating and line placement. He made each arrangement for us so that we spent our time touring and not fighting crowds at the ticket booth. Again, simply excellent experience!

Carlos was WONDERFUL! This tour was a highlight of our trip to Salzburg. Carlos did a great job of not only getting us to the Eagles nest, but coordinated other sites we would not have seen if not for him. He managed the trip to engage and entertain our teenage boys. I would do this again in a heartbeat!
