Private Car and Bus Tours or Travel Services

Usual Itinerary:

8:30 – Pick up from your hotel

9:45 – 11:00 –  After arrival in the alpine village of Garmisch at the foot of Germany’s tallest mountain, the Zugspitze where we usually first visit an amazing spot for a great photo and then proceed to the famed Ludwigstrasse in the heart of Garmisch’s adjacent and sister village of Partenkirchen.

11:00 – 11:30 – Drive to Ettal where we can briefly visit the 14th-century monastery and view its spectacular baroque basilica.

11:45 – 13:00 – Drive to and visit of Linderhof Palace and gardens, including time for the optional tour of the palace interior.

13:00 – 13:30 – Drive to a spectacular alpine lake in the Austrian Alps (yes, we will be in Austria on this tour!)

1:30 – 2:15 – Lunch at an excellent lakeside restaurant with a spectacular view!

2:15 – 3:00 – continue on our lovely alpine drive to the location of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles, back in Germany. Parking and quick purchase of tickets.

3:00 – 3:30 – walk up to bridge slightly above the castle’s elevation (alternatively we can take the bus up the back road and spare ourselves the uphill walk, however not in winter!)

3:35 – 3:45 – walk 10 minutes downhill to castle entrance.

3:55 – 4:45 – a tour of the castle interior

4:45 – 5:15 – walk back down to the car, briefly visit Alpsee (gorgeous lake and view) and see Hohenschwangau castle up close.

5:30 – departure for return to Munich with arrival generally around 7:15 pm

Although the above example is how we generally do this tour there is plenty of room for flexibility and to customize the day to your interests.

Examples of alternative options include, yet are not limited to:

• Hiking through a spectacular waterfall gorge (1 hour, 3€ p.p.)
• visiting the famous village of Oberammergau (30 mins, free)
• experience the world’s longest (6-minute hectic ride downhill) all-weather alpine roller coaster (allow for 1 hour in total, 11€ p.p.)
• swimming in an alpine lake (15-30 mins. free, of course!)
• doing a bike ride (60 – 90 minutes, free!)
• doing a tandem paraglide (60 – 90 minutes, 150€ per person), among others.

Naturally there is not enough time in the day to do ALL of these things as well as those in the sample itinerary above, but your guide will consult with you about what you would prefer to omit in exchange for a different activity or place.

All three of these destinations are south-east of Munich and it is possible to combine two of the three destinations unless of course you opt to spend a full day in either Berchtesgaden or Salzburg. It?s your private tour to enjoy as you like and plans can be made or changed with your guide while already underway.

This ambitious tour brings you from Munich to Nürnberg where we will walk you through the most interesting sites in the old town and to the castle overlooking the city. After this 2-hour walking tour we enjoy an excellent lunch together in the heart of the city before embarking on the 1-hour+ drive to the famed medieval village of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Here, we spend approximately 2 hours exploring the center of the charming town and walking along its 700++ year-old wall before driving back to Munich. Naturally dropping you off in Rothenburg is also an option, which would enable you to also experience the famous and entertaining Tour of the Nightwatchman, which begins at 8:00 pm.

Customize your own itinerary and let us take you through Bavaria on a wonderful tour you’ll never forget! We’re very happy to consult with you personally by phone if you are interested in having us take you out for two days or more.

The itineraries above can take up to 4 days, and of course, there are numerous other possible destinations in Bavaria and nearby Austria which you can choose to add as well! Would you like to hike, or climb to the top of Germany’s tallest mountain?

Spend a day or two biking, hiking, just relaxing or perhaps enjoy some fun adventure activities such as canyoning? There are so many possibilities!
