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.

Pre-covid review: My friends and I were fortunate to have participated in this informative and lovely tour of Munich with Stefan in Oct. 2019, prior to the pandemic. While an itinerary was in place, I felt Stefan was also very flexible and accommodating to our interests and was able to make suggestions for other places if time or circumstance required, afforded to us by the tour's use of a private, air conditioned, comfortable van. He was pleasant and knowledgable and the tour felt safe and fun! Highly recommend this tour. Highlights of the tour included visiting beautiful Lake Starnberger, Dachau concentration camp and lunch at a charming English style biergarten.

I am living in Munich for almost 4 years now. You can visit all these places with "Bayern ticket" that costs 26 euros. Why you ask from people that price... For 5 hours tour? Are you saying that the guide is worth 200 euros? Please reduce the price to 100 euros and be fair for the tourists.

We were very fortunate to meet Phillip and his excellent tour and car service company. From my many booking questions, to the actual day of service, everything was thorough and 5-stars. He speaks perfect English, yet is a local German who knows every shortcut and fast-track around the city. You feel like you are VIP when you go on a tour with him. We hired him for 2 airport transfers and a full day tour and each was spectacular and efficient. His 7-series is excellent, even better equipped than the S-Class and it had free in-car wifi as well as the executive back seat package. The BMW is definitely the car to get. Phillip anticipates your needs, and is pleasant and easy going at all times. I highly recommend treating yourself to his services when you are in Munich, it will elevate your trip to the next level. We are already thinking about how we can incorporate him into our next European trip. Thanks Phillip.

Of course for Germany and surrounds have good walking shoes and layered clothing.

7. From Munich: Castle Hohenschwangau by train with small group

Munich Central Station, Bayerstraße 10A, 80335 München, Germany Paul Riedel

This 12th-century castle has a long history and was also partially used by King Ludwig II. Since over 5.000 people visit the region for its amazing castles you need reservations. I take care of the tickets giving you a skip-the-line, which is really necessary when visiting the region. This tour will give you a full background to King Ludwig's life and his tragic and mysterious death. We have enough time for lunch and time to collect perfect pictures, making your visit an unforgettable experience. The visit outside the castle is part of the tour. Corona Restrictions: The ticket to enter the castle must be reserved at least 15 days before your trip. I cannot guarantee for tickets if not reserved before, because the number of visitors inside the castle is extremely reduced. Reservation for the castle tickets must be done at least 30 Days in advance. I cannot guarantee for the ticket if not reserved, but you may cancel free of charges, if there is no ticket available anymore.

Inclusions: Museum and Castle Reservation, Restroom on board

Exclusions: Gratuities, Ticket for Castle and/or Museum are to be paid to the guide separetly

Absolute Best Experience while in Europe! After much research, my family booked this tour with Stefan before we left the United States. You never know quite what to expect doing this, but I am SO GLAD we did! Even before the date of the tour, we received communication from Stefan concerning our itinerary and what to expect. Stefan arrived ahead of time at our hotel in Munich, and greeted us with a huge smile, extremely clean automobile, and fresh, cold water for all! He was so open to creating an experience that would fulfill our wishes. Our goal was to not only see Neuschwanstein, but also the local, surrounding communities, traditions, and food. Stefan really delivered! His personal knowledge of the area was incredible. We were able to see Oberammergau, the location of the beautiful Passion Play, as well as the stunning frescos in the village. Stefan also took us to the majestic Ettal Monastery, as well as Wieskirche, the Pilgrimage Church of Wies, all while viewing the gorgeous Alps in the distance. As if this weren't enough to fulfill our day, we headed to Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenschwangau Castle, and the surrounding village. It was all so amazing, that our family will never forget the experience! Stefan shared his beautiful home country, while allowing us to select what we would like to experience the most! I wanted to have a picnic this day, near the castle, as a memory we would have forever. Ultimately, Stefan made it happen! We had a wonderful bottle of wine, glasses for all, and Stefan produced local delicacies that we had never had. It was such an amazing closure to a beautiful adventure in Bavaria. As we headed back to our hotel in Munich, Stefan filled the car with polkas, singing, and great, lasting cheer that has sustained us through these trying times of no travel with COVID. We miss our travels, and we will most definitely return to more tours and adventures with Stefan! Thank you for such wonderful memories!
