Berchtesgaden & Eagle’s Nest Day Trip From Munich

Excellent activity on a clear day. The had perfect weather and the sights were amazing.

This was a nice and organized way to get to the Eagles Nest. However, it could be streamlined for maximum enjoyment. The travel time from Munich is approximately 2 hours. Once we made it all the way to top of the Eagles Nest and had our own time to explore, we were discouraged from eating at the restaurant. The Eagles Nest really is just a restaurant in today's time. We would have enjoyed more time at the top to eat there and enjoy the view. It was a waste of time once we got back down to the bottom to have 2 hours to eat at a bus park restaurant (although the food was good and cheaper) but no view, which is the main reason to get all the way up there. Also, it would have been nice for our guide to warn us that the little document museum near the bus park doesn't have English options and is 3 euros to enter. That was another waste of time and money. Then we took the "scenic" tour back into Munich. Everyone naps and it adds 1.5 hours to get back to the city so makes it an almost 4 hour ride back instead of 2. Not worth it.

The actual experience itself was fantastic. However the bus was late arriving. We had to pay extra for admission tickets- not sure why this couldn’t have been included in overall price. There is no atm on-site and the restaurant there only takes cash. There was never any mention of this so we had to have chocolate bars for lunch.

Everything about the tour we loved, to the guides, drivers and comfort of the buses. Will use Graylines again.
