Best day ever at Neuschwanstein + pretzels!
We booked a private tour to Neuschwanstein Castle and added on the pretzel making class at the end. I cannot recommend Jake and All Things Garmisch enough, he was knowledgable, funny, and entertaining for the whole trip. His tour provided a very detailed history of the area and the political/royal climate through the decades but added in his own humor so the information was never dull or dragged on. We had enough time to stop for lunch at a great biergarten before heading back to Garmisch for the pretzel class. The class is a must do. Jayd was our teacher and she was amazing. You are provided everything needed and given a copy of the receipe to take home. She walks you through every step and then you get to eat/take home your creations. It was the truly the best day of our vacation.

Thank you guys!
Jayd and I both had a blast hanging out with you guys!!!!
Come back anytime!!!!!!!!

Zugspitze Mountain
Our tour guide Jake was amazing! Full of knowledge of the region and history and geared the tour to our interests. We took a detour to visit a monastery that was not on the tour but we were excited to visit. He took our needs and interests into account. We enjoyed Jake’s company for a couple of beers at the end of the tour which was great fun!
Highly recommend this tour and Jake!

Nice trip to top of Germany
Good tour with very good explanation and nice tour guide but I was expecting to see some more of the local villages around Garmisch-Partenkirchen which was not part of the tour
Also the tour leader did not get us back to hotel as expected but he gave us train tickets instead which I believe is not fair
Operator response
I'm so sorry you did not enjoy the tour! As in all of our private tours we can adjust the schedule to meet your desire. If you would have informed me that you wanted to see some of the local villages I could have taken you. It is a shame as there is some beautiful Alpine villages around Garmisch. Also, I clearly state in the tour description that we do not offer return transportation to Munich with this tour. I am sorry you felt this was not fair but I believe I informed you of this detail again before we even left for the day.
- please come back and we can try again to make your trip to Bavaria the best!

Do not miss this tour when in München
Very personalised private tour which made the experience so much better. Our guide Jake was cool and helpful. Zugspitze itself is just picturest with stunning views. Even in Summer we were able to see and play in the snow! Highly recommended.
