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!

Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Day Tour from Munich

This is the best tour you will find to these locations

The VIP tour was worth every penny. Courtney was interesting and full of helpful hints. The snacks and free beer at the end were most welcome. Take her advice and take the bus to Mary’s Bridge then walk downhill to the castle. Walk all the way back to the village after the tour. It’s a brutal uphill walk to get back to the bus for a return trip. We loved this excursion- every stop was well planned out and perfectly executed.

Outstanding tour and guide (Leon)

Wonderful day trip and outstanding guide, LEON! Before the trip we were wondering will 10 hours feel like too long? And the answer is - No! Leon was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. He made the bus ride fly by and the castle is so beautiful and interesting. I highly recommend this tour.

King Ludwig II and his dream homes

Maria, our guide, was probably the sweetest guide we've ever had. She was very knowledgeable and took great care of us. The Linderhof Palace was stunning and the Neuschwanstein Castle magnificent even though it was never finished. The story of King Ludwig II of Bavaria was interesting and a bit sad.

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.

A tour everyone should do in their lifetime, not just to understand history but to become better humans.

Historical and informative. Excellent Guide!

The trip is sad due to coverage of one of the darkest chapters in history. But our guide Cansel did a fantastic job of explaining the historical context and sharing in a story like fashion. She is a very informed and intelligent guide. She and the driver Joe deserve 5 stars and nothing less. Strongly recommend this tour to understand the history and what sacrifices our forefathers have made.

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!
