Slide for salt - The train ride is very fun, but don’t go on if you’re claustrophobic. It’s a very narrow tunnel for the first 10 minutes. The information is very interesting and the slides are great. Something even the kids would love.

Informative and fun - What a fun experience! Our driver, Andreas, was a great guide as we made our way to Berchtesgaden and the mine. He provided informative local colors pointing out sights and sharing information about the area in and around Salzburg. The tour itself was informative and fun. All-in-all, a very fun experience.

Susie and the Salt Mines - a great day out! - Really enjoyed this tour from Salzburg to Berchtesgaden and the salt mines. Susie was our driver and guide and she made the trip so interesting and lots of fun. She tailored it to our needs, pointing out interesting sights along the way, like the Eagle's Nest and lots of sights in Saltzburg which we looked for later. She was so enthusiastic and encouraged us to enjoy the salt mines, even though she didn’t actually come in with us. The mines were extensive and the train, boat and slides were real highlights of travelling through the mine. I would definitely recommend this trip for young and old alike and would recommend booking direct with Panorama Tours. We did 3 trips with them and they were all great and really well organised.

Interesting tour! - Fun trip for the family! The slide, train and short boat ride were all fun. Learned some history about salt mining too. Our guide Alenka was great! She knew a lot of history and science about the area. Very informative!
