Claudio gave us a very personal , enthusiastic and detailed insight into the history of the OberSalzburg and the importance of the location to Hitler and the Nazi party . We reflected on this unique experience of standing where he and his henchmen used to stand more than 90 years ago and looked at the same view in today’s ruins of the Berghof .
Thank you very much for your review and your interest in history. WWII is one of the most defining moments in our contemporary history. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour. Welcome back anytime. Claudio
Claudio was knowledgeable and customized the tour based on our questions. He gave a great recommendation for an after-tour activity and guidance on how to get there. We would definitely recommend this tour and Claudio to others.
Hi Amy, and thank you for your kind words. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour. Welcome back anytime. Best, Claudio
Claudio is a knowledgeable guide and was able to field our questions in stride. The audio tour inside the Document Center feels incomplete without his insight. Tours are much more interesting when they are interactive. I recommend booking a tour with Claudio.
Claudio was extremely knowledgeable about the history surrounding events in Berchestgarden that led up to WWII & provided a tremendously thorough walkthrough of the area. His English was impeccable & he was able to fully answer all of our questions. If you are lucky enough to get him as your guide consider yourself lucky!
Claudio was very knowledgeable and explained things very thoughtfully and logically. He showed us things we would have not seen had we gone on our own. The subject matter was very interesting although being from a dark time in History. We would recommend tour to any World War 2 enthusiast or history buff.

I'm really happy to hear that you found my explanations thoughtful and logical, and that I was able to show you some things you might not have discovered otherwise. My aim is always to provide a deeper understanding of the history, even when it involves difficult topics like World War 2. It means a lot to me that you found the subject matter interesting, and I appreciate your understanding of its importance despite the darkness of that period. Thank you again for your recommendation to other history enthusiasts. I hope to have the opportunity to guide you or your friends on another tour in the future! Greetings from the Alps Claudio
