We really enjoyed this tour through the salt mine. The tour guide is a miner when he is not giving tours and I would have like to learn more about him. There were English audio sets provided as we were in a group that had three different languages going on and these were good. I don't think all the sound... More

This was the best day out that we did whilst in Salzburg. The attraction is unlike anyother that I have ever been on in any country, as you travel into the mountain on the old mine trail you keep thinking that you must stop soon but it keeps going for about a mile or so. Right after the train journey... More

Had a great time, very worth while tour. I strongly suggest to do as we did, and drive yourself to the mines for the mines tour. Some adverse reviews seem to refer to tour 'packages' including the Eagles Nest. I cannot comment on those tours but touring the actual mines wasa great. We went in the winter time and the... More

this tour was very interesting because it gave us the overview of how the celts mined salt so long ago, they provide you with some special clothing to wear in top of yours, take a ride in a train, go down the slide where miners used to do it too, the tour is very comprehensive showing videos and also they...

My wife and I went For the Panorama SuperSaver Tour today. After studying their web-site, I decided to go with this tour because it includes The Eagle's nest (the Nazi retreat), the Salt Mine and Bavarian and lake area. We seldom take any tour when we travel, even in places like Russia and Japan. Since we want to cover a... More

I swear my title is not an exaggeration! And if you click on my profile, you'll see I don't say things like this very often! First (after a late departure!), the tour went to the gift shop at the base of Hitler's Eagle's Nest - I understand the 'if we forget, we're destined to repeat' thing, but I think it's... More

This was the best activity we did during our stay in Munich. I took my 13 year old nephew and we had so much fun. You get on a bus in Salzburg (across from Mirabell Plaza - walk through it - it's beautiful), do a quick tour of the Alps (probably an hour) and then the tour company drops you... More

After having experienced a nightmare the day before with the same tour company our experience to the Salt Mines and Eagles nest was equally as disappointing. The company "Panorama" appears to be more concerned with how much money they can make versus the comfort of the tourist. The seats on the tour bus were extremely cramped. We were taken to... More

We toured the salt mines with 55 teenages, 5 adults and 1 seven year old. A great time was had by all. The train ride is a tight squeeze, in that the roof is inches from your head as you duck trough tunnels ... if you are squeamish in tight places, keep your eyes closed. The slide down into the...
