Wow, this was by far our favorite day. In part due to the experience, the scenery, the history, but also due to our private tour guide Carlos. We were a group of 6 family and friends ages 17-69.
We were planning to do the Eagle's Nest + boat ride on Konigssee Lake but unfortunately the Eagle's Nest was closed that day for technical issues. Carlos was prompt in picking us up at our apartment in Salzburg, told us of the change of plans immediately and changed the tour to fit our liking to make sure we still got out of it what we wanted. And we did!
His Mercedes Van was comfortable and we felt very safe driving with him. We went to Obersalzburg and saw the sites of Hitler's home as well as the homes of Hermann Goering and Martin Bormann, a school, hotel, all where many WWII decisions were made. We also visited the museum and Bunkers built in 1943.
Afterwards we made our way to the Alpine Lugge, so fun! And an added addition. Lunch was incredible and we enjoyed it with Carlos and his recommendations on the BEST lemonade and food.
Lastly we went to Berchtesgaden and took a boat ride on Konigssee Lake.
Carlos never made us feel rushed, we took many stops for the panoramic view of the Bavarian Alps and photos, and even took us by a bank in the morning to exchange money.
Carlos was the best tour guide we've ever had.
