What an AMAZING tour!! The absolute beauty that is Munich cannot be missed on this tour! Tyler and David were amazing guides and made sure to take care of each and every single one of us throughout the trip. Tyler was super knowledgeable, funny and engaging!I cannot say enough fantastic things about both of them! The bike ride was exhilarating! The whole ride felt like something out of a fairytale! I felt like a kid again! And the castle was really just the cherry on top! This is an absolute MUST do trip when visiting Munich! Bravo!!!

Our guides, Tyler and David were excellent! They were very knowledgeable and very helpful. Just want to let everyone be aware that it’s a lot of walking up and down the mountain and stairs they do have alternative options for people that cannot handle this. Overall a great trip. We really enjoyed it…definitely recommend!!

Great time visiting Oktoberfest for the first time. Karl and Jacob were friendly, informative, and passionate about the tour. They took time to give the history and answered all questions the group had. Highly recommend this tour, especially for first-timers to Oktoberfest.

Knowledgeable and friendly tour guides who shared key information about the history of Oktoberfest in a fun and charismatic way, wonderful for first timers to help navigate the festival and a good time guaranteed

Excellent bus and bike trip to Neuschwanstein castle. The guides were helpful, knowledgeable, and made the experience very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend going instead the castle as well!
