Great experience with my teenager

My 16 yr old son and I are visiting from the U.S. and highly recommend. It took the stress out if getting to see and explore what we wanted all in one day. Annette was amazing and so was our driver. We would take this tour again and highly recommend to others.

Lucia was a great and knowledgeable guide who took us through the highlights of the history and architecture of the city, pointed out interesting things to check out, and then cut us loose for 3 hours to make it our own afternoon. It's a nice way to spend a day.

Our tour guide, Patricia,...

Our tour guide, Patricia, was excellent. We learned that all Dachau tour guides are trained by either a survivor or a liberator of the camp, and our tour guide's passion for the subject matter was very apparent. We would all highly recommend this tour to anyone in the area.

While the striking...

While the striking architecture looks like a medieval fortress, the history behind it is incredibly fascinating. It was built by King Ludwig II to bring his grand romantic ideals to life. Taking the guided indoor tour gives you an intimate glimpse into the king's vivid imagination. The lavish, opulent interiors are packed with stunning details, from magnificent wall murals to surprisingly advanced 19th-century technology like running warm water. Make sure you walk up to Marienbrücke (Mary’s Bridge). The sweeping panorama of the castle suspended over the gorge is unreal and makes for the perfect photo. It is incredibly popular, the best way to enjoy your day is to book your tickets online well in advance. Taking a structured group tour makes the entire schedule completely stress-free. Walking up the scenic 30-minute trail through the woods adds a wonderful touch of adventure to the morning. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, the horse-drawn carriages and shuttle buses offer a charming way to reach the top.

Castle Tour

Faison did a superb job of explaining and engaging the participants. He truly cares about providing the history and information to us. The trip was split up between the sites and we were given enough time at each site. You must be physical able to walk up approximately 5 flights of stairs and walk down a semi steep incline.

Moving/Emotional experience

This is a very serious, moving experience if you take it all in. There is so much to see and learn, going through all of the buildings was emotional. The museum is also extremely interesting and so large could not see it all. Our tour guide Carlotta (Charlotte) was excellent! She was so informative and knew so much history. She definitely made it much more interesting! She was personable and friendly.

This was a wonderfully lighthearted way to see Munich on a lovely fall day-highly recommended Kyle who was very knowledgeable about the city and offered funny stories and commentary along the way!

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.
