All the Swans and Highline179!

Bridgette_S, Sep 2023

Matej was a fantastic tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He was right on time, vehicle was comfortable and he kept us on track to meet our schedule. Cannot beat Neuschwanstein and the Highline179 was an awesome add on. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic personalized tour.

David was a fantastic guide! He was very knowledgeable and made our experience extra special. He provided us with in depth historical background at all of our stops, and we had lively conversations about a wide range of subjects. We can't recommend David enough!

Top-notch service & experience with 0 hassle - all we had to do was show up!

andy_s, Aug 2023

Over the top customer service! Our guide was extremely knowledgable on any topic we asked about. He made the entire experience special to my husband and I, even through all of the crowds of people. He made recommendations of how to best use our time and what to see. Gave us suggestions on starting early so we would beat the crowd. He felt like a friend, not a tour guide. Truly an amazing experience overall. Cannot recommend enough.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Best Day in Bavaria!

Jennifer_N, Jul 2023

Our guide Mathew was AWESOME! The van was brand new, clean, and comfortable. He brought water for while we we were in transit. He was very flexible and knew where to grab snacks/coffee or a trip to the WC. Mathew’s coordinator handled an unexpected event (fire alarm at castle) with expert care and knowledge. We were able to cater the trip to our desires, including an impromptu zip line ride! SO fun! Would definitely recommend this tour…it’s speedy, but excellent!!!

Highly recommended

Veronica_F, Jul 2023

Luca was a very accommodating guide - he felt more like a host! We changed some things around and he presented no barrier at all - and even offered to help out when we had a cash emergency! 10 out of 10 - great job!

Excellent tour! Highly recommend David!

Erin_R, May 2023

David was an amazing guide for the day. We got to see Neuschwanstein, and walk the mile-high suspension bridge, and visit a village on the way home. He treated us like family and was a wealth of information about all around Munich and the surrounding areas. We got to skip lines and he managed all transactions throughout the day, as well as being an excellent driver keeping us comfortable on the road. Can not recommend this tour highly enough! David was incredible, and we are so grateful for the experiences!
