Good mixture of sightseeing, history, culture and fun

Bus was new and clean. Well planed, got to do many things in one day which would normally not be possible if planned otherwise. Tyler is a great guide, very attentive, in a good mood and gave us useful Munich tips. The restaurant we stopped at had good quality food. Our group split into the alpine coaster and Oberammergau, both were nice additions to the castle day. Would certainly book another tour with Tyler, we had a great day (:

A magical day!

What an incredible day! First, Stefan meets you with a warm and welcoming smile and spirit. He’s knowledgeable and so friendly, we stopped a few places along the way, including an incredible old church in a small village that was beautiful. The castle is incredible, his recommendation for lunch was a nice spot, and the palace is beautiful with gardens and fountains. Each one is in a unique and beautiful setting. The day was long, but certainly worth it!

Best Guide and Day Trip!

Thomas was the best guide we’ve ever had! We loved our day trip! We got the customized tour we wanted that allowed us to move at our own pace. Thomas was very knowledgeable, and we loved the village he took us to after the castle. We also liked the added safety of having Thomas with us. Favorite tour! We hope to do more with this company!

Once in a lifetime family experience

The castle is breathtaking! The surrounding area is beautiful. The bridge was thrilling! The thing that made the day so special was Anna, our guide. She was most helpful in every manner. Anna gave us the history and fun facts of the areas during the drive, making it fly by. Anna took care of every detail that we would NOT have thought of. She also knows of many picturesque locations that only the locals would know. Most importantly she was incredible with my family, taking care of our every needs, especially safe travel to and from the castle (1.5 hours). Hands down, without any hesitation, I would book with Anna again! In fact we may book her for a Salzburg excursion! Thank you Anna!

Unforgettable experience!

This is a wonderful trip to a beautiful place! We are so glad we did this tour! Tyler is a great guide and genuinely wants everyone to enjoy themselves. The bus trip is enjoyable and easy with something for everyone. My adult sons appreciated that they could choose the coaster while I shopped around the lovely village area and then we came back together for a delicious lunch. The rest of day was all about hiking to the bridge and exploring the castle at our own pace. Definitely recommend!

Tyler was friendly and provided detailed information in an engaging way. He helped me as a solo mom so my kids could ride the alpine roller coaster, explained the schedule clearly, and assisted us throughout the whole experience. It was a great tour with flexible options depending on what works best for you.

Fantastic Bavarian Dream Tour

Maria made this day absolutely unforgettable. We were able to see so much in one day, so if you have the time, do not hesitate to take this tour. Trying to arrange this and accomplish what we did on your own would be impossible. The tour is not cheap but worth every bit! Be sure to do the extended version. Well worth the extra time and money.
