Munich to Salzburg and beyond: alpine views, Chiemsee, Mozart’s baroque old town, and a Wolfgangsee cruise to St. Wolfgang.

Scenic Alpine road, a tunnel elevator to Eagle’s Nest, and time in Berchtesgaden’s NS Documentation Center—an 11-hour day from Munich.
“Our day trip to the Eagle’s Nest was outstanding! Mareo picked us up at our hotel and took two of us and six other passengers in his spacious van through Berchtesgarden and on up to the Eagles Nest. He took us to many interesting sites that the larger tour groups never go to or even…”

Hear Mozart-style favorites in Salzburg’s Fortress Hohensalzburg’s Golden Hall, with round-trip funicular access and sweeping night views.
“Excellent concert, but the category of seats should be reconsidered. We were sitting almost next to the entrance door (I. class), while dog was barking behind the door and guest comming in and out during the concent were slamming the door. It did not feel like I. class! But otherwise, top concert!”

“On the subject of WWII history, my husband would consider himself well read, but we completely underestimated the level of WWII history that exists in and around Berchtesgaden.
