A vwry nice and organized tour

We booked this tour the last minute and we did not do a lot of research before. It ended up being the best day in our trip!

Well well worth it! Highly recommend!

I learned more about Hitler and WW2 than in one year of grade 10 history class. Aileen (? Spelling) was amazing! If she had video taped herself giving the tour I would have paid good money to watch it again! If I’d been in Munich longer I would have gone again!

Glad we did it.

Our guide, Elisabeth, was wonderful! Extremely informative and endlessly patient. The bus was very nice and clean with a bathroom. There were drinks available on board. Easy to find meet location, not far from the Starbucks which was great to get a coffee and use the free restroom for customers as we waited to start the tour. The tour was very interesting. Beautiful scenery. Learned a lot about the Eagles Nest that was different from what we thought we knew. The tour was a little long for us but we caught a nap on the bus ride home.

Barbara is excellent

Our trip was fantastic from start to finish! Barbara’s storytelling was top-tier, and our driver made the ride smooth and effortless. The bus was comfortable, well-stocked with snacks, and perfectly timed. Plenty of walking at each ideal stop gave us the perfect excuse to relax during the drives. Best of all, it kept our teenagers completely engaged!

Outstanding Exceptional Engaging Tour!

Franz was an exceptional guide! He was so knowledgeable about all things Germany and Dachau. He was very easy to understand and clearly relayed important interesting facts about Germany and World War 2 and the camp itself. I would definitely take any tour again with Franz. I have had tours all over the world and think he is the very best of all of them!

Loved the Premier experience

I loved this small group Premier experience on a spacious luxury bus! Lots of legroom for everyone and single seats on one side for solo travelers like me. Deyse, our guide was great, as was our driver, Andreas! Our group of 27 was always pleasant and showed up on time as we put in our 14,000 steps to see Neuschwannstein castle, Oberammergau and Linderhof Palace. I also enjoyed the patio seating in one of the village restaurants for lunch and a cold beer after coming down the hill from the castle. Great experience overall.

The tour is very well...

The tour is very well organized. My tour guide Maxine is it really knowledgeable. She showed us quite a few The Sound of Music scenes as we traveled along the city, including one mistake where Maria and children were buying fruits in the market that I would have never known. I also learned about the stumbling rocks project for the first time and was really moved by it. Maxine was also so kind that she offered us one extra hour in Salzburg that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Well worth it!

Definitely get to see and cover more on a bike tour. Great intro. to Munich. Mike's friendly, professional staff are amazing. I got totally lost and was very late. So grateful to the office lady who kindly turned my diaster into a very positive experience. She organised a staff member to lead me to the tour that was already underway. Bob, tour leader, was welcoming & very infomative regarding Munich's past/present history. We were quite a large group, Bob taught bike lane protocol, crossing safety & guided us well along bike lanes & streets. Glad to have been able to do this excursion with Mikes Bike tours. Well worth doing!

Amazing guide for an amazing city

Our guide, Leon, was a wonderful navigator and was also very knowledgeable regarding his beautiful city. We were only in the city for a few days and we finished our tour with a recommended list of places to eat and places to explore. I couldn’t recommend this activity enough, especially if you’re a history geek or just want to touch the surface of what Munich has to offer!
