    Claudio was entertaining, knowledgeble, and prepared. We had a great time. The walk is over decent quality paths. There is significant elevation gain. Typical incline was around 7 degrees - sometimes a bit more, sometimes less. Walk was almost exactly 4 miles and took us a bit over 2 hours. We are fit but casual hikers. Youndon't hike all the waynto the Eagles Nest, instead younultimately arrive at a tunnel whichnleqds to an elecator that takes you to the Nest, from which the views are spectacular. We took the bus back down at about 25 euros each, rather than walk back down. A most pleasant way to spend the day.

    Incredible tour! We learned so much from Claudio. The hike was challenging at times but highly rewarding. Claudio adjusted the speed and took breaks often (mainly for me in our group) but was highly encouraging and kind enough to say we made “great time” when we reached the elevators. I cannot imagine seeing Kehlstein or Eagle’s Nest any other way- you miss so much if you don’t hike the area with Claudio as your guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable, explaining not only what happened and when, but helping you understand some of the why and how things happened the way they did. Even a WWII history buff will learn so much from Claudio and experiencing the Site through hiking. If we’re able to make it back we would absolutely book this tour again- I’m confident we’d learn more from Claudio.

    Claudio was a great guide! He had a ton of knowledge about the area and he was able to answer many questions. He showed us some interesting infrastructure that we would’ve missed if we had taken the bus. Claudio set a great pace for the hike. My Apple Watch calculated the hike as 5.7km with 710meters elevation gain. Definitely a doable hike. I did the hike in a pair of running shoes no problem. I could see the trail getting quite muddy if it had rained a lot though. A very enjoyable day and I learned a lot from Claudio!
