Wonderful tour by a knowledgeable guide before the castle tour! He had obviously done his research and was able to add more, and more historically accurate, details. Lots of "fun" facts, too (I had no idea what BMW stood for or why the logo looks looks like it does. I do now!). He knows all the best spots for pictures and the best times to get them in before the next tour groups arrive. Skipping the line for the castle tour tickets was a real plus. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our day. Set out on the boat from Lindau with a few stops before arriving in Switzerland across Lake Bodensee. Our guide was prompt and very friendly, The ride was mainly flat but I would definitely not take kids younger then 10/12 years as it was 42 Km long (8 hours).

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.

Beautiful setting, however little time to enjoy the inside, reduced areas to visit - the guide tour was too short and frustrating, considering the price. What you are allowed to see is what there is in every book or brochure, the rest is closed to the public. A shame and sham.
