We requested Carlos for the Sound of Music Tour. The luxury Mercedes Van top notch. Carlos was very personable, professional, and his history/knowledge created a day we will remember the rest of our lives. We toured every Sound of Music sight-every step/stop memorable. He surprised us by driving to Berchtesgaden, where we hiked in the snow amazing! Our final Sound of Music point, where “The Hills Were Alive” I twirled-magical! Final surprise Red Bull Hangar7 and AC Schnitzer BMW Race Team HQ. Thank you Carlos for the time of our lives! Salzburg Private Tours-the ONLY way to go!

We did an excellent tour with our guide Paul. We are glad that we did it. He is an excellent knowledgeable guide, very caring and a lovely person. We visited St. Peter's Church, Platzl an der Orlandostrasse, Bayerische Staatsoper, U-Bahn to Odeonsplatz etc with him. He was very nice to us during our entire visit, patience as a guide should be, explaining history of each place along with some fun. If we ever visit Munich again, we shall hire Paul. Highly recommended.
3. Munich Art and Culture - The beginning
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
Writing novels inspires me on the creation of an exciting screenplay for a tour with historical content. Dukes, electors, and kings surround a career of fighting, weddings and love of the arts. In this tour, I bring the participants closer to the sponsors of art and culture and give the first impression of contemporary art in the city of Munich. Reserve a seat for my popular Welcome Tour through Munich. Look at beautiful places like Asam church, Jakobsplatz, Alter Hof, Moneta Regia, Royal Residence, Fuenf Hoefe, Theatinerkirche, Hofgarten, and many more. I tell exciting stories about Munich and its history and you get exclusive tips for your stay and shopping in Munich. If you have more time, look at my other goals. The tour progress depends on the group and it is not a marathon. We walk comfortably through the planned course and no one will experience unanswered questions here. For companies, this tour is supplemented with a team and communication program on request.

4. Visit the Bavarian National Museum with Paul

Founded in 1855 by King Maximilian II of Bavaria, the Bavarian National Museum was constructed according to plans found by Archive Director Karl Maria Freiherr von Aretin in 1853 the plans for the construction of a Wittelsbach Museum. This should not be just a museum, but the most interesting and patriotic monuments and other remnants of past times. King Maximillian II, who ever wished to be a teacher, but not a king gave the proper start. Prince Luitpold renewed the construction in 1899 and we can see his signs everywhere. Follow me in this interesting experience.

This tour was not my list even though I knew about it. It rained so we did it. OH MY GOD, wow that was time well spent. The travel distance going into the mine was unbelieveable. Seemed it went on forever. The slide was so smooth, something you can not do in the states, we went down as a family. That was fun to be together to experience. Well worth your time. In fact we are going back to the region and I have researched other salt mines and we are going to them also.

It was interesting to learn the history about the Berlin Wall. There is not much of the wall left but it's enough to have a good idea how things were back then.
