About this activity

Enjoy a private, exclusive tour with your own local guide. Experience two very different highlights of Southern Germany and Austria in one enriching journey. Begin with a visit to the charming alpine village of Ramsau, to see the iconic St. Sebastian Church. Then descend into the historic Berchtesgaden Salt Mine, deep in the Bavarian Alps. Watch centuries of “white gold” mining come alive through immersive tunnels, slides, and an underground lake. In Austria, the landscape shifts from rugged mountain terrain to elegant Baroque charm. Stroll through the beautifully designed Mirabell Gardens, where geometric flowerbeds, statues, and fountains create one of Europe’s most picturesque settings. Admire the refined architecture of Salzburg's old town, and the sweeping views of its historic skyline, to cap off a day to remember.

Please note: The availability and accessibility of attractions may vary based on time of day and crowd conditions, ensuring each visit is a unique experience.
