What are people saying about Munich

Matheus_L, May 2026

It’s human to feel

It is extremely touching. Not exactly for the faint of heart. But in many ways it is as important as ever to go there if you ever have the opportunity to do so. Expect to walk a lot, but honestly you will probably not feel like you walked that much from all the things that you will be seeing there. If you yourself have ties to someone who was affected by this historical event, or are friends with people who would have been affected, I would say that it’s natural to feel a bit emotional during parts of the tour. Our guide Jamie was specially attentive to details and to the questions that our group had.

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

Tammy_B, May 2026

Best Bike Tour in Munich!

Such a fun way to see the city’s main sites and learn the history! Dave was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the history of each site and he was very personable. He made the whole trip fun and interesting. We had a great small group which made it easy to hear and stay together. Munich is pretty much flat so it was easy riding, no need for an electric bike, and we are both 65. We think we lucked out getting Dave as our guide. He was great and we’ve been on many bike tours in different countries. This was well worth the cost and we highly recommend this tour.

Neuschwanstein Castle & Linderhof Day Tour from Munich

Fabiola_P, May 2026

Amazing tour that...

Amazing tour that exceeded our expectations. The castles and the lakeside setting were absolutely beautiful. Our guide, Jennifer, was great and shared lots of interesting facts along the way. The story of King Ludwig was particularly fascinating. Highly recommended.

Jeannette_R, May 2026

Must do!

This is a must do! Very organized day with 3 amazing stops. Both castles are breathtaking and the little scenic town is a nice break. While the schedule is a bit tight if you follow the advice of your tour guide you will maximize your time and get to see everything. The VIP bus is a very comfortable ride, great to have extra drinks and snacks available throughout the day. Our guide Monika was very informative, we learned a lot of interesting German history that helped put everything we were seeing in context, both at our stops and along the way. Very much enjoyed our day!

Great tour, our guide...

Great tour, our guide Mark was full of knowledge and looked after us very well. I was first concerned that there wasn’t private transport to take us and had to walk to train station then catch a public bus but Mark was great at keeping us together and not rushed at all. Group size was perfect, able to hear Mark without the need of annoying headsets

Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace Day Trip from Munich

Matt_M, May 2026

All around an excellent...

All around an excellent trip. We got to see the famous Neuschwanstein Castle in the smoothest way possible. Perhaps even more impressive was the Linderhof palace that you stop at before making your way to the castle. The tour bus was comfortable. The driver was excellent, and our tour guide Charlie did a great job of sharing history and keeping the group organized. We feel that there were lots of little logistical tips we wouldn’t have known if we had visited these places on our own. And doing it with Charlie and an official tour like this was really helpful.

Wonderful full experience!

It was a great experience! I felt like I was able to see a lot during this tour. The guide, Elisabeth, was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. She was able to answer a lot of questions and provide a lot of information! It’s a good tour, recommend doing it, if you’re an eater like I am, I’d bring hearty snacks or food. They had snacks and drinks available, but somewhat limited options to eat throughout the stops until the end.

We really enjoyed this tour with Sam. He was incredibly knowledgeable and provided a comprehensive, thoughtful overview of the rise of the Nazi Party in Munich. The tour was engaging, well-paced, and offered meaningful historical context that made the experience especially impactful. Highly recommend this tour with Sam.

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.

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

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.
