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.

Great tour.... not so great tourists. - I really want to give this tour 5 stars but other guests on the tour ruined it for me. Tour was awesome... guide was very knowledgeable, views did not disappoint. There were others on the tour from Japan that were very rude and talked loudly 3/4 of the trip during tour guides dialog. It really soured our experience.

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.

Nice scenery but - Driver/guide was not skilled in driving or directions. Very jerky shifting and got lost once. When we got to destination she wasn't very helpful in pointing out where to go or things to see. Scenery was nice but not enough time at lake konigssee and too much time at shopping stop.

WASTAGE OF MONEY. NOT WORTH AT ALL. DON'T OPT FOR THIS TOUR. - This particular Tour is not worth at all. They clubbed our tour with another tour to Salt Mines. after dropping the travellers at Salt Mines, The driver drove us to Kings Lake. On the way we were shown some mountains from our bus. We were told these were the Bavarian Mountains. Thereafter we were dropped at parking of King's Lake. We were told to walk to see the Kings Lake and come back in an hour. Considering the distances and walking track its not possible to reach the Lake View Point. The last point of the tour Berchtesgaden is nothing but Time Pass activity in a Parking Area. DON'T OPT FOR THIS TOUR. NOT WORTH AT ALL
