Cansel tour guide review

The bus was very quiet and comfortable and the driver was very courteous and safe. Cansel the tour guide was very knowledgeable and humorous which made the experience even better! She gave clear instructions on where to meet at the palace and castle and was there to make sure we all were well taken care of. I highly recommend her.

Great Tour and Memories

Charlie was awesome! He gave a great tour that told us the history of the city and showed us a lot of cool spots we would have missed. Highly recommend doing one of his tours, especially if you plan on going to Oktoberfest- he’ll give you a bunch of tips and answer all your questions, Oktoberfest related or otherwise.

Third Reich Tour

This tour was great. We learned about the rise of the Third Reich as well as Adolf Hitler. If you are a fan of history and history tours, then this is a good experience. Conny is a good tour guide and presented photos of Munich from over the last 100 years. Also, you do see Munich and its charming Old Town.

Berchtesgaden and Eagle's Nest Day Trip from Munich

Richard_S, Sep 2026

Best Excursion Ever

It’s about two hour drive to the Eagle’s Nest from pick up point and then about a fifteen minute drive the rest of the way by specialist coach. Once at the Eagle’s Nest the views are truly spectacular. There are a few steps up to the famous cross and almost to summit of mountain. Special thanks to our tour guide Franceska who was excellent and provided so much commentary going through Munich and on the drive to mountain. I’d always wanted to visit and so glad I did

Outstanding itinerary and guide

Barbara, our guide, did a great job of letting us know what was happening, making lunch suggestions etc. The castles are fabulous and it was well worth the journey to see them. A very full day and we saw a lot of wonderful sights. I would go with them again.

Incredible tour. The bus...

Incredible tour. The bus was comfortable and had wonderful drinks and snacks, and the tour guide, Ursula, was wonderful. The 3 stops were well timed, and the information provided throughout the day was fascinating. We took our 21 month old, and while he didn’t make it through either castle, Linderhof would have been possible since there weren’t stairs. He was pushed up to Neuschwanstein, but the stairs wouldn’t have worked for him without his stroller and confinement, yet he still handled the day well.

Very thorough and well run guided tour of the Dachau Memorial.

Mat was an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. He's obviously very experienced and this pays off for all of us because he knows how to pace the flow of information and he was able to easily control the flow of the tour even when interruptions occurred like having to wait for the bus that just left when we got off the train, he used the time to give us some further background so we'd have more context for when we arrived in Dachau. Very respectfully and professionally presented, we would recommend this experience very highly.

Team Leon All the Way!

What an amazing experience to have spent the day traveling back in time to Neuschwanstein Castle and the city that surrounds it. It was incredible to see and even better with Team Leon! He made sure we saw everything, showed us where to go and times to get there to maximize our day and took care of everyone on the bus the entire day. He was a wealth of history and great energy and fun to be around. This one can’t be missed if you’re in Munich and doing it on Team Leon makes it even better!
