We really enjoyed our private tour for 8 people with Michael. His knowledge of the Sound of Music and area was excellent. Unfortunately the Eagles Nest was closed, however he took us to an alternate lookout with absolutely stunning views. The documentation museum was very interesting and informative, and our lunch in Berchtesgaden was delicious. We also enjoyed the beautiful lake district as well as the Mirabell Gardens, all while enjoying the music from the movie.

Michael Toth was an amazing guide! He is very knowledgeable and made our experience so special. Michael's experience and connections at The Eagles Nest was priceless. He made everything so easy. He is funny and knew so much about all the sites. Being able to have that personalized attention made our whole experience perfect. You can't go wrong booking this tour. It is totally worth it!
