Our tour guide and driver, Thomas and Alexander, were wonderful. Thomas shared a lot of amazing history and knowledge about both the areas we driver through, as well as the mines. The only disappointment was that the guide inside the mines was able to share much more info in German than in English. The English parts were recordings, which was helpful and still informative. Would definitely recommend this tour!

The tour was really interesting! They really allowed you to get into the experience via overalls, taking the train into the mine, and the two slides down! Excellent tour. Leopold was our driver/tour guide and he was great! Very funny, informative, and had great recommendations. We were in a tour group of 8 and had a comfortable private van drop us off - felt like we paid more than we did!

Full description

Learn what it's like to live in the Bavarian Alps. Travel along the Königseeache River passing the Obersalzberg, where the leaders of the Third Reich once had their residence.

The highlight of this tour is a visit to a 500-year-old salt mine, where you'll first slip into original protective gear before entering. Once inside, you'll learn about exciting, informative, and legendary facts to do with this enchanting, underground world. Use the slides that miners once used to delve deeper into the mine and see what secrets it still hides. A raft trip along the mystical underground salt lake and a trip on the mine railway cap off the informative trip.

Before returning to Salzburg, you'll have plenty of time to discover the Berchtesgaden area.
