This tour was fantastic! Stefan was such a great guide, joked around with the kids and made the ride most enjoyable! We learned so much history and every stop on the tour was well worth the drive. The alternative before I found this tour was to navigate the trek to Neuschwanstein on our own with 3 kids via train, and there is just so much we would have missed by doing that. Thank you, Stefan!!Lawrence_B

Magical day. We opted for the XL time option so as to see as many sights as possible in one day. We were not disappointed. It was a long day but well worth it! Communications with Stefan, our guide before our trip really helped set us at ease before we met. Unlike a standard tour, we could spend as much or as little time at each destination as we saw fit. At the same time, we stopped at many picturesque spots for photos that a large tour would never visit or see. In all, we went Hohenschwangau, Neuschwanstein, Linderhoff, Wiesekirsche, Ettal monastery and a quick visit of Oberammergau, with several other photo stops in between. We loved them them all, especially Hohenschwangau. Stefan was a great guide and provided us with lots of information before visiting each site. I would highly recommend this option over a large group tour. Well worth the difference in price. Thanks, Stefan for a great day!Ethan_H

Stefan was the epitome of a courteous, knowledgeable and flexible professional. My two adult daughters and I had the privilege of having him all to ourselves on a private tour of Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau and surrounding sites in October of 2021. His communication prior was excellent. We were picked up right from our hotel in Munich. He gave us choices to modify some of the additional sites to see based on our interests and time. I CANNOT speak highly enough of this experience. We consider ourselves lucky to have found this experience and it is a highlight of our trip!QueenUrsula

Stefan’s tour is very well designed and delivered. A few highlights on how this had gone very well for us. 1. Communication : The communication before the trip was very clear and his suggestions were very thoughtful. His responses were timely and clear 2. Time management: Stefan is definitely very experienced and he managed our time during the tour well. We feel we have enough time to see what we wanted to see, and even had time for a good Bavarian lunch without feeling rushed. However after the whole day when we think back, not a minute was wasted either. He didn’t keep us waiting at any point 3. Thoughtfulness: most of the castle tours are organized audio tour and were let by the castle staff. But Stefan did a good job explaining the history prior to our visit so we have more context on what we were looking at. He took the time to walk us around to point out things to look for, routes to take and photo spots. He is also a good story teller and helped us understand the histories of places we visited. 4. Flexibility: it’s was a perfect balance between good time management and flexibility. We had to shuffle some visit and lunch time and he was able to make it happen. We even spend a bit extra time to see Starnberger See. The car was very clean and comfortable. Safe driving too. All in all a very memorable day thanks to Stefan’s very high quality service.
