Family trip to Austria. - We had a fantastic day with Gabi as our guide. The timing of everything was perfectly coordinated. The highlight of the day was the falconry show at Werfen castle. Then on to a fabulous lunch at the Eidelweiss hotel in Berchtesgarden. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate for views at Eagles Nest but we still really enjoyed seeing it, and stopping by the site of Hitlers home.

Fabulous private tour of two famous landmarks - Fabulous private tour of Werfen Castle and The Eagle’s nest with a great rooftop restaurant stop en route. Our guide Patrick was informative, entertaining, personable and his English was excellent. He also came well equipped with videos and photos to provide context and enhance the experience. Highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour and guide - We did a private tour of the Werfen Castle and Kehlstein( Eagles Nest). Patrick out driver and guide was excellent, knowledgeable and fun. He even pre booked a great lunch place at the Edelweiss Hotel in Berchtesgaden. He also threw in a couple of Sound of Music sites as he knew we were fans and movie fans. I would highly recommend Patrick and MCM for sight seeing trips if you do not want to drive .

Awe-Inspiring - What a terrific experience. The locations were as you would expect; surreal & full of thoughtful history. But Manfred, our guide, added a hue we didn't anticipate. As you embark on a tour in an unfamiliar place with an unfamiliar new face, Manfred's demeanor was positively engaging out of the gate. What a treat to experience a tour with a guide so committed to the experience and genuinely engaged as if you were old acquaintances. Really; very nice work. Highly recommended. Worth the price of admission. 5 stars. Mike & Tina. Pgh, Pa. US.

Excellent All-Day Private Tour! - We had a wonderful all-day private tour with Patrick! We were not able to visit The Eagle's Nest because an earlier snowfall and avalanche blocked access to the hilltop site. Instead, Patrick offered a couple of options and we chose to visit the beautiful Gollinger Wasserfall. The historic Werfen Castle was so majestic and interesting. As another added treat, Patrick took us to the site of Hitler's original home! We also had a nice lunch at a rooftop restaurant in a nearby town. Throughout our drive Patrick pointed out local landmarks and told us interesting information about the area. His genuine friendliness and enthusiasm made it a truly enjoyable day. We would highly recommend this tour!

A wonderful day! - We spent a lovely day with Patrick touring Hoenwerfen Castle and the Eagles Next area. We had the most amazing time! The tour was filled with great information, interesting stories, and enough time at local attractions that we were able to immerse ourselves in the history and experience. Patrick went above and beyond to follow up with us after the tour to share restaurant and local dish recommendations (after hearing us talk about our desire to have a more local experience). We tried several of his recommendations and it was the best food of the trip. We would rate the tour 10 full stars if we could!

Exceptional Day Out - A fantastic day out, Our host Manfred was exceptional. You could see his passion for making our experience a memorable one. Although not able to make Werfen we were able to arrange a trip to the salt mines at short notice. Manfred added extra parts to the trip at the Eagles Nest which was fascinating. Thanks again great day!

Amazing locations and some unexpected bonus's along the way. - Most enjoyable day as we headed into the mountains. Our guide the very hospitable Lena took us on a journey though the spectacular countryside. Giving us great insight into the history whilst also engaging in conversations where we got a great feel for Austria and its culture. Tour also included a booking at a fabulous restaurant with views of our destination and some sizable surprises which blew our minds along the way. (Took their Salzburg Lake District and Hallstatt tour the next day, just as amazing) Highly recommend this family run tour company. Great people who clearly take pride and enjoy what they do.

A 10 out of 10 tour & guide - I had high expectations for this tour but the scenery, our guide and the castles surpassed everything. Our guide Patrick was beyond excellent; knowledgeable, friendly and on every detail went the extra mile e.g. in the morning we stopped at the Gollinger waterfall which was an unexpected but beautiful treat. And then at lunchtime he'd made a reservation for us on the off chance at a hotel local to the Eagles Nest. We had a fantastic meal sitting on the roof terrace with views of the castle in a restaurant we would never have found ourselves. In addition Patrick had collected pictures, information & anecdotes which further enhanced the whole experience. It was a glorious day weather wise & I cannot praise Patrick highly enough. If you enjoy history, scenery and want a charming, knowledgeable & entertaining guide then this is the tour for you.
