Highlights
  • Rosewood Schloss Fuschl (2024) - Be ready for pickup at 9.00 am at your Salzburg hotel. Make yourself comfortable in your comfortable touring vehicle and experience the beautiful landscape that the famous ‘Salzkammergut’ lake region has to offer. After a short drive from Salzburg you’ll reach the castle of Fuschl. Capture a picture of the castle of Fuschl with the emerald-green Lake Fuschlsee as its backdrop, before heading on to St. Gilgen with Lake Wolfgang, the next photo stop.
  • St Gilgen Mozartplatz - After a photo stop overlooking the lake and St. Gilgen, there are a few more Kodak-moments waiting with the town hall and Mozart’s mothers birth place.
  • St. Wolfgang Kirche - Next is the view over the lake to Saint Wolfgang. From that vantage point continue to Hallstatt via Bad Ischl and Bad Goisern.
  • Hallstatter See - Having reached Hallstatt and the first highlight of this full-day tour, your private guide will point out the must-sees of Hallstatt to you, which include a beautiful photo spot of Hallstatt, Charnel House (Bone House), Hallstatt Museum, Hallstatt Waterfall “Waldbachstrub”, Hallstatt’s local residence area and more. You will have 2 hours to explore Hallstatt and all these sites on your own as well as to have lunch in one of the great lakeside restaurants in Hallstatt (at your own expense).
  • The Eagle’s Nest - From the Obersalzberg you will access the Eagle’s Nest with special busses and elevator. You will have 45 minutes at the Eagle’s Nest. Take a stroll to the very close summit Kehlstein to overlook the picturesque Bavarian and Austrian Alps.

From November 1st until about May 10th (depends on the snow conditions of the year), the Eagle’s Nest direct access road is closed, alternatively, we offer to visit the Rossfeld summit instead. From this vantage point, soak in panoramic views of the stunning Austrian and Bavarian Alps and the nearby Eagle’s Nest. Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle’s Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle’s Nest.

  • Salzburger Altstadt - Finally, finish the day with a drop-off at your Salzburg hotel.

Enjoyable, Informative and Lovely Day - Lena was a wonderful tour guide. The whole day was lovely. Easy going ride to Hallstadt with enough time to soak in the scenery. Hassle free access to the Eagle's Nest. Wonderful day all the way around and nice to be along for the ride instead of navigating.

2 big ticket items all on one day done perfectly. - Really great tour - Lena was very good at getting us around the 2 locations easily and avoiding the larger tour parties well. She was friendly, engaging and it all ran to time. Felt safe in the mini van at all times too even on the mountains!

Hallstatt and Eagles Nest Tour - My family rented two vans to take us to Hallstatt and the Eagles Nest. This was by far the best tour I have ever been on. Patrick was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the area. He answered questions we had and made sure to include my two kids. We even stopped off in a little town called Fuchs am See and there were baby ducks my boys got to see and almost touch. We learned about how they smoke the fish there from Patrick as well. On our way back from Eagles Nest they took us to the ruins of Hitler’s house. It was pouring down raining and they still got out the van and talked to us about the area. They had photos to show what it used to look like as well. If ever in the area and looking for an excellent tour, do not hesitate to book MCM tours! They do not disappoint.

Amazing driving tour - This was one of the best tours we did while on vacation in Germany and Austria. Sadly the opening of the eagles nest was pushed back so we did not get to go up to it. We still saw several other important areas and got to see the countryside in a beautiful and unique way. Our tour guide Lena was outstanding she was great to talk to and a great driver. Although this was expensive it felt well worth it for our group.

Exceeded expectations! - Fantastic! What an outstanding day. Do NOT second guess booking this. Worth every penny and was a favorite day of our two week trip. Patrick made us feel like a local showing us the off beaten path to unbelievably beautiful locations. He made lunch reservations at the most picturesque restaurant in Hallstatt and provided the most relaxing adventure. We then headed to the Eagle’s Nest and his knowledge and guidance could not be matched. I cannot say enough about how much my husband and I enjoyed Patrick and the day he provided. We are already planning our return trip and 100% will request a day with Patrick again. You will not regret booking this!!

Amazing tour! - Our guide, Manfred, was very knowledgeable and informative. He made sure we were taken care of - from picking us up promptly at our hotel and at every stop on the tour. He gave us great ideas as to what to do the next two days of our stay in Salzburg. He also followed up by sending an email with the information in case we could not remember what all he had told us. I would highly recommend him - much better than a group tour.
