What are people saying about Munich

Alex_D, Apr 2026

Great tour!

Great day tour! We had plenty of time at Linderhof Castle and Neuschwanstein Castle. We also had a stop in between those two castles at a little cute town called Oberammergau. Our guide Markus was great, during the bus ride there, he told us historical facts about Munich, interesting facts about castles, the town, King Ludvig, and he provided great instructions on how tours of both castles work. So now, one by one. First stop, Linderhof. You must take a tour of castle's inside. The interiors are absolutely amazing and unique! Must see! The tour of interiors is about 25 minutes long, by a live guide (who works there). No photos allowed inside (we actually liked that part - u truly focus on looking and listening). After the tour u can walk around the gardens. Second stop, the village. Very unique, cute houses with lots of beautiful frescos. Looks stunning on a sunny day! Walk around, have coffee or ice cream (my advise - stay away from beer, u'll be doing a lot of walking up hill later). Third stop, the main even, the Neuschweinstein Castle. Weather was great, sunny, 68F. We had roughly 3.5-4.0 hours at that stop. You can take a shuttle bus up, or a hourse carriage, or walk up. If you walk up, there are two path in the first half of the distance up that eventually merge. We took a shorter path, but, it was a pretty steep incline. Paved road through the woods, very nice, but long and with pretty good incline. We made it! But, if you have cardio or legs/knees issues, don't take this shortcut. Anyways, once at the Castle, we made some photos around - gorgeous scenery! Then wrnt around castle to the Mary's bridge - amazing views of the valley and lakes on a way! And then u get onto a bridge and it is a breathtaking view of the castle! And waterfall! The walk from castle to bridge is about 15 minutes, but if u stop for photos on a way and then on the bridge, and walk back - u need 45 minutes to fully enjoy it. The way tour is built, yoour tour guide gives u tickets for entry (and tour) of the castle for the time slot at the end. Our time slot was 16:15. We got to entrance at 16:00. By that time we were there for about 2.5 hours, at least two. The idea is u do all the walking around and photos before your Inside the Castle entry time. The tour of castle is done using an audio guide (multiple languages available), the group is chaperoned by the official employee who is there to answer questions. After the tour, walk down to bus. Now, as wtitten in tour description, u need to pay entry fees for going inside both castles, $13 for Linderhof, and $24 for the big one. $37 total per person. This is in Euro. U pay via credit card on the bus, to your tour guide. Totally worth the money! I highly recommend this tour.

On 4/27/2026 my husband and I had the pleasure to have Dayse as our tour guide &Vlatt as our bus driver on the Greyline Premium tour of Neuschwanstein, Lindrhof, & Oberammergau. We highly recommend doing this Premium tour with them . They've been the best. Thank you Dayse & Vlatt!

We had a most knowledgeable and wonderful guide through Dachau Concentration Camp. The guide was great at giving lots of historical influence, but also shared personally how his family was directly involved in the camp as prisoners. It was truly wonderful to hear his perspective. I believe this is a place everyone should visit. It is a humbling experience. But worth the time.

Third Reich Walking Tour Munich

Chris_P, Apr 2026

This was a very...

This was a very informative and complete explanation of how Hitler and the Third Reich came to power, going as far back as the late 29th century. In doing so we saw much of Munich and its beautiful buildings and spaces. Sam, our guide was very articulate and knowledgeable. He put together a very complete account for us. The walking portion was excellent and not too long or far for my group (all in their late 60’s). Well worth the time and money.

Neuschwanstein Castle & Linderhof Day Tour from Munich

MaryBlye_K, Apr 2026

Fabulous in every way

This tour was beyond outstanding in every way. Viewing these gorgeous castles and learning about their history, seeing all the beautiful towns, eating amazing food, seeing the Bavarian Alps. Just perfect. Our guide was Ceyhun and he was one of my favorite guides ever. He spoke slowly and clearly and repeated instructions so everyone would know exactly what to do and when. He was super kind and thoughtful and organized. The bus was fabulous, two-tier, every seat had a phone charger, and they provided all kinds of drinks inexpensively. Don't miss this tour and try to book with this company and guide.

Salzburg Sightseeing Day Trip from Munich by Rail

Janet_F, Apr 2026

Salzburg day trip

Maxine was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our group was large, 25 people and the train was delayed by about 20 minutes to Salzburg but she still managed the group and time well. She had a lot of photos and videos that she shared to bring out the historical context. I highly recommend the Salzburg tour.

Classic Bike Tour daily @ 11.30am with Beer Garden stop & Surfers

Richard_L, Apr 2026

The tour was well worth...

The tour was well worth doing. Our guide Kyle first outfitted us from a selection of bike sizes to suit everyone. He then gave us a safety primer, as we would be biking through various parts of the city, and not always on bike paths. It was not a very strenuous ride, as we stopped frequently to have the various areas and buildings explained. Kyle was very knowledgable about the history of the city (despite being from California), and dispensed a lot of interesting information without becoming boring - and with just enough humour and wit to be quite entertaining. Our visit to the beer garden was curtailed due to less than ideal weather, but Kyle pivoted and brought us to a part of town where we had a good selection of local restaurants to choose from for our lunch stop. I would highly recommend this excursion.

VIP Daytrip Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Grotto from Munich

Andrew_W, Apr 2026

Amazing VIP Day Trip – Highly Recommend

We had a fantastic day visiting Neuschwanstein Castle, and the Linderhof Palace. The tour was very well organised, and everything ran smoothly. Our guide Cansel and driver were amazing - Cansel took great care of us and shared valuable information that really enhanced the experience. It’s a long day with a lot of walking, and you really need to be fit to manage to whole day of walking but absolutely worth it. A great way to see these incredible places stress-free.

Neuschwanstein Castle Tour from Munich

Precious_P, Apr 2026

Bavaria Germany Castle Tour

Neuschwanstein Castle provided a delightful escape from the busy city of Munich. The commute was smooth, with reliable and clean transportation, making the journey very comfortable. Our driver was very safe, and we felt at ease throughout the trip. Our guide, Nick with Radius, was friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to explore a charming town near Munich. The food and beverages were reasonably priced. Please remember to bring Euros for purchases near the castle. The castle itself was stunning, and Nick showed us several lesser-known highlights in the area, away from large crowds, offering a personalized and accommodating experience for our group. Best regards, Precious & Gabby from the USA

Dachau Memorial Half-Day Tour from Munich (Early-Start)

Fortunato_L, Apr 2026

History and Refection

Excellent, well-paced tour. Our tour guide, Hein, was extremely knowledgable on the history of the Dacau concentration camp and the various camp structures within the Third Reich. Hearing stories of horrible conditions in the Dacau concentration camp was heartbreaking and seeing remnant of actual camp facilities spurred deep reflection on this horrible time in history. We recommend this tour.

We ended up doing a tour with Leon during our time in Munich. He was friendly, and kind and centered our tour to our interests! He was very knowledgeable and personable and his stories were awesome. He even gave us some great recommendations when it was over! We would’ve missed so much of the unique history of Munich without this experience.

Berchtesgaden and Eagle's Nest Day Trip from Munich

Andrew_M, Oct 2025

Great Trip!

Very good, informative trip. The museum was great and walking through the underground tunnel system was fascinating. Beware that if the weather is bad, you can’t go up to the Eagle’s Nest, which was a major disappointment, but not the tour company’s fault since they are focused on safety. They made up for it with extra time in Berchtesgaden, a beautiful medieval town.
