Castle Tour with Private Guide
Amir was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining and engaged us with questions to make us think and feel involved in the story and history of the castle and the King with the dream to create it. We felt special in that we had a focused guide rather than a big group. The photo opportunities were beautiful and Amir knew every detail of the castle and what was going to happen during our tour including insider tips on where to get great photos. The carriage ride was fun on the way down from the castle and the bridge overlooking the castle was picturesque. If you want a private guide, I recommend Amir.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, it really made my day! I loved sharing the castle's history and stories with you, and making sure you felt like it was your own personal tour rather than just another stop on a big group route. I'm so glad the photo spots and the carriage ride added to the magic too.
Thank you for trusting me with your visit, I hope to welcome you back to Bavaria again someday.
Warm regards, Amir

Neuschwanstein
Amir Saad was an awesome tour guide. He told the history in a story form and made it so interesting! We also found out that our next day tour with another company didn"t have our tickets for us. I so worried, and Amir talked to the other company and helped me buy the tickets. Wish I could have had him for the next day tour also. What a GREAT guy!!
Operator response
Dear Karen,
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the tour and my storytelling style — history really does come alive when told like a story. I’m also glad I could help with the ticket situation for your next day; I know how stressful that can be while traveling.
It would have been a pleasure to guide you again, and I truly hope our paths will cross on another adventure in the future.
Warm regards,
Amir Saad

A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes
Amir has a great energy and deftness in navigating a family of all ages through fantasy castles. The teen wanted to see and experience the inspiration for Disney and Amir deftly got us through lines and to the front seat (truly!) of the horse-drawn carriage. The history-driven adults were enthused by Amir's playful sharing of information -- especially all of the intrigue that we hadn't known about. Highly Recommend
Operator response
Thanks so much, Ouida. It was a real pleasure spending the day with your family. I’m glad we could hit the mark for both the teen and the history buffs. Hope to see you all again on your next adventure.
Best regards, Amir

Incredible Day
Incredible day! We had a wonderful time with our tour guide David. In a nutshell we had an outstanding history course with humor and insider knowledge of Neuschwanstein, Oberammergau, and Ettal Abbey. Fantastic lunch at a local Italian restaurant recommended by David and coffee and gelato at another local spot. We were able to do so much in a short amount of time through the private tour. We will definitely be back and will use Special Private Tours again for future trips. Viele Dank!

Amir Saad was great. He was knowledgeable and personable. He took great photos for us. (And a requirement to use 100 characters is stupid)
