Perfect day
Alex was the perfect host. He provided depth and insight when we asked as well as always keeping things fun moving throughout the day. We had an excellent lunch at just the right time and he brought us to little treasures that we would have never found ourselves.
A wonderful day!

Lovely day of castle viewing
Very nice day . We liked the personal experience without big groups . It is worth to do both castles but there is a lot of walking and stairs involved so wear good shoes and be prepared to climb stairs and walk uphill .
Best to go later in the season ie April when the fountains are uncovered and the water features are working but it was still nice as there were no crowds .

Must do when in Munich
This was a private tour and it was great to customize it. We opted to go down the alpine coaster as an activity. Mike was awesome and so knowledgeable. Our entire family loved it!

Great Day Tour
This was a great family day tour. Communication was great before and during the tour. Got to see a small village church, the castle, great Austrian lunch, and the alpine coaster.
Checked all the boxes we wanted and got to see outside of Munich.

A Great Big Day Seeing and Experiencing a Lot!!
It was a great day sightseeing through the Bavarian Alps region, visiting villages and famous castles! We experienced and saw a lot in 1 day! Alex was friendly, knowledgeable, great with kids, and kept us on track and on our mission to see and experience plenty during our tour day! I would highly recommend Alex take you on a tour!

Personal tour experience
Private van tour. Kind & pleasant guide. Fun trip to see some beautiful sites. We wanted the personalized tour experience over the large bus groups & this delivered that.

Fantastic Tour
Siegmund was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable and helped us navigate around all the big groups for a more personal tour experience. Beautiful views, castles, and food were the highlights - he knew exactly where to go and when. We also bought a souvenir that we left in his vehicle and he went out of his way to ship it back to America. Highly recommend this private tour!

Fabulous guide for an unforgettable day
This was an unbelievable tour and the guide (Alex?) was a true professional throughout the booking process. His communication prior to the tour was exceptional and he went out of his way to make sure the group had a truly memorable day. He was interesting, informative and a fantastic guide. Would highly recommend to anyone and would book with him again.

Awesome Tour with an amazing guide
We took a private day tour to Neuschwanstein and Linderhof castles with Mike’s Bike Rental in October. Our guide, Sigmund, was outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, and kept the tour engaging throughout the day. It was an unforgettable experience filled with beautiful memories. We also enjoyed a delicious, authentic Bavarian lunch at a charming local spot at Oberammergau. We highly recommend this trip.

Sigmund Rocks
Signing, with Mike’s Bikes was, hands-down, the most passionate and knowledgeable guide I’ve encountered in many other excursions. Engaging, passionate, and entertaining, he made the day a highlight of our trip. Because of our time constraint we shortened our day and he was very accommodating. Ask for Sigmund when you book. Oh, also he is bilingual, German and English.

Amazing trip!
We had a group of 7 all varying ages and capabilities, Alex was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and extremely easy to get a long with. He went above and beyond when we couldn’t find a phone and were so appreciative. Our sons favorite part of the trip

Why is Oberammergau’s Passion Play only every 10 years?

What should I wear to the Passion Play in Oberammergau?
Because Oberammergau’s Passion Play Theater is open-air (although the seating area is covered), it’s worth dressing for the weather.
