Great guide, fun day trip!
Sepp (our guide) was right on time for morning pickup at our hotel. He has a great personality and has plenty of interesting knowledge of the area to share. Plus he took care of all the little details so all my family had to do was relax and enjoy. The trip itself was really nice. Lake Königssee is beautiful! And the salt mine tour was interesting and fun as well. A great day and worth the money to do it right. Thanks, Sepp!!!

Flexible, creative, professional guide helped create a memorable day trip.
Stefan was a knowledgeable and professional guide who worked with us to build a custom itinerary that met all of our needs. Even though the Eagle's Nest ended up being closed, he remained flexible and helped make the experience a memorable one.

Perfect.
Our family of five, enjoyed our private tour with Carlos to the eagles nest and the surrounding areas. The Mercedes van was extremely comfortable, and Carlos was a knowledgeable and kind and considerate tour guide. We were traveling with my older mother with some minor mobility issues, but all was well, and we were very well catered to. My son particularly enjoyed Carlos‘s perspective on the history of the eagles nest.

The Kings lake
The tour was a great experience. It is well worth going on. The lake and the surrounding mountains are breathtakingly beautiful Going up to Hitler’s eagle nest was equally fantastic. The views from there are amazing. Philip the guide was great. He gave us options as to what we could do. I highly recommend this tour

Over and above service.
Our guides, Michael and Luciano were what made the trip the most memorable. Even though we couldn’t get to the Eagles Nest because of snow conditions, they altered our trip to accommodate what we wanted to see including the Documentation Center and views of the Eagles Nest, which is a must see for all. When Michael learned that our Sound of Music tour was a little lacking in what we saw, he made it a point to bring us to the sights we didn’t make on our bike tour. How fabulous is that!! Being in a personal van sure beats the coach bus experience. Five stars!!!

Can't wait to do it again!
We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Thomas was our guide for the day and provided numerous insights to the places we visited and areas we traveled through. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We had to make a couple of changes to our agenda during this tour and Thomas handled them with ease. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. I look forward to visiting Munich again and taking another trip with Thomas and Sightseeing Bavaria Exclusive.

Konigsee made Perfect by Sepp
I had a wonderful tour with Sepp. Königssee is a truly spectacular sight and shouldn't be missed if you're in the area. Having been on many tours over the past few years, I strongly believe that a skilled and attentive guide makes all the difference. Sepp is, in my opinion, the best service provider I've encountered.
He communicated with me in the days leading up to the tour and ensured we were exceptionally well cared for throughout the day.
In short, don't miss this tour if you're ever in Munich.
