We had a wonderful day with our guide Christian! We learned alot about the sights we were seeing. Christian was flexible to make sure we spent time on the things we wanted to see. He directed us on the best way to experience Zugspitze. Garmisch & Partenkirchen are lovely towns that we got to walk through. We learned the story of Oberammergau and had lunch and some shopping time there. Christian was very efficient and made the most of our time. He also had good recommendations for dinner and sights in Munich. A beautiful day!Ameera_C

This was one of our highlights of our trip to Munich. Stefan was a really great guide and extremely helpful & considerate. As our visit was during COVID 19 and the numbers in Germany were on a rise, there were some new requirements and restrictions we were not aware about. Stefan made sure every requirement was met and informed us in advance. For example it became a requirement to have a negative test to enter Zugspitze, Stefan not only let us know about this update but also informed us about where to get one which is close to our hotel. Before we went on our tour a quick check list was done to make sure we have our identification and papers ready for a smooth entry. That did make a huge difference. The tour it self is really great, we passed by some nice towns and the scenery is amazing! Stefan was great in explaining and giving historical locations stories and interesting information. We requested some stops in certain shops and he accommodated that into our schedule. A map and information on the site and where to go and meeting point location was provided, we really appreciate a well organized communication. The place itself is breathtaking! We enjoyed the scenery and the weather was perfect. We really enjoyed our time up at the highest point in Germany. I do highly recommend this tour and Stefan will definitely make your trip smoother and memorable. Thanks StefanL7039CDjeffreyl

Tolle Aussicht beim strahlenden Sonnenschein. Die Gondelfahrt ist mit €64 pro Person nicht billig aber es lohnt sich. An der Talstation hat man die Möglichkeit um den Eibsee zu laufen. Wunderschöner See. Eine Umrundung dauert ca 2 Stunden.

Christian was easy to communicate, showed up on time to our VRBO in a lovely van with a booster seat and water. He made wonderful recommendations. We were able to visit the Zugspitze, Eibsee, Oberammergau, an alpine slide, and Linderhof. It was a perfect day tailored for the 4 of us!
