Dachau Private Tour with Licensed Guide by Train from Munich

Elaine_S, Aug 2026

Everyone who has the...

Everyone who has the chance to do so needs to visit a concentration camp site. It is truly a moving and emotional experience. In order to keep history from repeating itself, it’s important to educate ourselves and learn from the historical mistakes of the past. While it may be painful, it’s vital that we never forget these moments of man’s inhumanity to man. Jason, our guide, was knowledgeable and respectful, and he navigated the transportation schedule vsngeseith ease.

Beer & Beyond: Munich Beer Tour

Ask for Sam!

Our Beer & Beyond Munich Beer Tour was absolutely fantastic! 🍺🇩🇪 There were just four of us—my husband, me, and two great friends who joined us here in Munich for an incredible vacation experience. We decided to take the tour because we wanted to learn more about Munich’s breweries, beer culture, and history, and WOW… Sam was an absolute wealth of knowledge! From the fascinating history and stories to the great conversations over delicious beers and food, this was such a fun and memorable experience. Sam made the entire tour enjoyable, informative, and relaxed. If you’re visiting Munich and considering the Beer & Beyond tour, I absolutely recommend it—and ask for Sam! He is the BEST tour guide! 🍻❤️

Great Private Tour

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us a great overview on the ride to Dachau so that he could focus on specifics while on site. He also gave us time to explore on our own as well. Of course this is a very emotional tour so he allowed us time to simply "be" with the experience. He did a great job keeping us away from the large group tours so we could hear him and ask questions as needed. I highly recommend this private tour.

Lorena_C, Jan 2026

Perfect tour guide and itinerary

Tour guide (sorry forgot the name but the one born in the Philippines too) was genuinely friendly and accommodating. I love it that he started the tour by getting to know us and us getting to know the other participants as well. It was a small effort but truly shows how he wanted to connect with us and how he wanted us to have a really good experience. We didn’t feel rushed. We had maximised our time outside and inside the castle. The walking tour was also very informative. Definitely recommends Mike’s Bike Tours when you visit Munich!

Excellent Value

Baskin was the Coach driver and he was a Artist at work, the Bus never Jerked or Rolled or over revved and it was just like a Magic Carpet ride, we just purred along the Autobahn and the narrow roads. Charlie was the tour guide and just spoke the right amount. All in all a very very enjoyable day. Thanks guys your a credit to your profession.

Munich at Christmas

The tour with Patrick was a perfect introduction to the Christmas markets in Munich. The food options were delicious and plentiful. He was very knowledgeable about local history, particularly of the architecture. He was good with my children, even getting the one in a bad mood to come out of his shell. The pace was perfect.

Victoria: Leading You to the Best Glühwein Experiences

We just returned from our Germany Christmas Markets trip and one of the highlights was this tour in Munich. Victoria was an outstanding tour guide! She has a down to earth personality and ensured that everyone on the tour felt comfortable enjoying their time to the fullest. She is a Texan expat now residing in Germany with her husband & family so her English and German language skills are excellent. Victoria took us to several Glühwein [“glow-wine”] stalls that we would've never tried on our own. First up was a Rosé gluhwein with cherries . . . a hit! We stopped afterwards for a bite of Schupfnudeln [German gnocchi or potato noodles]. From Marienplatz, we walked to the Christmas Village at the Munich Residenz Palace for our second stop. At this location, we enjoyed a bratwurst and a Glühbier [mulled beer]. Although I was a huge fan, the group was split on the mulled beer with others opting for the apfel-zimt fruchtglühweine [apple-cinnamon fruit mulled wine] instead. If you're not a mulled wine fan at this point, beer is an option and readily available at this stand. :) From this location, we walked to the Medieval Christmas Market nearby and enjoyed some traditional gingerbread (it was more a cake like consistency) at this third spot. We then took the subway and made our way to Wintertollwood Festival, which is located at Theresienweisse, the Oktoberfest grounds. This was our last stop on the tour and we tried gluhwein with mead. It was definitely unique and tasted smooth. The last snack was a raclette [top layer of melted cheese scraped off onto a slice of bread]. All in all, this is a great tour for an overview of the Christmas Markets and if you want to try a few variations of gluhwein. By the way, if you want to keep any of the gluhwein mugs, you have give your tour guide the pfand [deposit] to cover the cost. I kept two mugs as souvenirs!
