“This was a great tour out of Salzburg. Bus was on time and the sites were great. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The salt mines were amazing and so much fun, best part was that the tour guide for the mines was a miner at the mine himself so he shared some cool details. The boat ride and slides were so much fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to check out a salt mine. Tour started at 8:45 and we were back by 1:30, lots of people were continuing to the sound of music tour afterwards so it definitely fits in for timing if you’re interested…”

8.Königssee Day Trip with Boat Ride and Salt Mine

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 93 reviews · 10 hours · from $87

A 10-hour day trip from Munich to Königsee by air-conditioned coach, with Berchtesgaden salt mines, a boat ride to St. Bartholomä.

“The salt mine tour, boat ride, and pleasant walk along the shoreline were all lovely. Unfortunately, coming back on the boat, we forgot my backpack and although they were able to send it on the next boat, the guide could not wait the 40 minutes delay we would cause, so we were left behind and needed to find our own way back to Munich. Wouldn't have been an issue at all if the guide had told us they could not wait instead of saying they would wait but then leaving without us.”

9.Eagle’s Nest-Berchtesgaden-Obersalzberg Private Half Day WWII Historical Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 64 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $591

Private half-day WWII tour in Berchtesgaden with Obersalzberg bunkers, Kehlsteinhaus and Eagle’s Nest history, plus mountain sites and pickup.

“Guide was great. Very knowledgeable. On time, and professional. My only concern was the nature of the travel and the size of the area truncates the ability to visit the Documentation Museum and the Eagles Nest itself. This should be a longer time frame, or if I could give some advice, make the pick up and drop off point the Documentation Museum, so that after you visit the Eagles Nest, you can take your time after the guide leaves at the documentation center.”

10.Berchtesgaden: Via Ferrata Beginner Tour of Schützensteig

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 15 reviews · 4 hours · from $104

Beginner via ferrata on Schützensteig in Berchtesgaden. Gear included, expert coaching, and big mountain views from above Bavaria.

“Es hat mir am Anfang etwas Überwindung gekostet, aber schon auf dem Weg zum Klettersteig hatten wir angenehme Gespräche mit den Guides Lukas und Christoph, dass ich auch keine Scheu gehabt hätte zu sagen ich schaffe es nicht. Ich finde das auch sehr wichtig, dass einem vermittelt wird, nicht dem Gruppenzwang folgen zu müssen! Mein Fazit: ich hab mich rundum wohl gefühlt, es war ein tolles Erlebnis das ich bestimmt wiederholen werde. Dankeschön”
