Wonderful experience. Wouldn’t change one thing. Sepp was best guide and incredibly knowledgeable.
This review is wayyyyy overdue, but didn’t want to miss the chance to say THANK YOU to Sepp! We spent a day with him last summer and still talk about it to this day. He picked us up early in the morning with freshly baked goods and cold drinks and had a smile on his face the entire day. We enjoyed a beautiful drive, an interesting Neuschwanstein visit, and learned so much great history about Bavaria and its traditions. Sepp even sported some fantastic Lederhosen! It was an amazing day. Highly recommend!
This was an amazing experience! Sepp was top notch from start to finish. We had the best time spending the day visiting Neuschwanstein. Sepp was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. My family and I truly appreciated his personality and willingness to accommodate us. Book a tour with Sepp……you will truly enjoy it!
We were on the back end of our trip and it was my part of my family’s first time out of the country. In our last day, SEPP took us to the amazing castle and beautiful Bavarian countryside. After 5 days of private tours, SEPP was far and away the BEST. Funny, hospitable, and accommodating (several guests have food allergies) we ended our trip on a high note because of Sepp and his tour!
As a solo traveler, I wanted an experience that was seamless and magical and Sepp delivered. From July to October he communicated with me patiently and even rearranged things when my schedule needed to change. He was prepared and ensured my every need was taken care of to feel comfortable during the ride and make the most of the visit to the castle. I saw the best view points as he shared the history of King Ludwig II and the Bavarian people. I spent 90 minutes at the castle and enjoyed the most peaceful view over a cup of coffee. On the way home, Sepp let me relax and sleep and I pondered some over the incredible day. The photos and overall experience are unbelievable. I couldn’t have asked for better. Lastly, Sepp provided recommendations for top sites and a Bavarian Meal in Munich but his most wonderful surprised was saved for the end. Knowing I as attending my first European futobol game that evening, he gifted me a German FC scarf. I was decked out like a fan and blended in with the crowd as I cheered them on to victory! Thank you for an incredible experience. I will book with Sepp again when I return to Central Europe.
My family and I absolutely loved the tour. We were also able to adapt the tour to include an additional stop at a summer toboggan run. Sepp did an outstanding job.
Sepp was recommended to us by our hotel concierge. We wanted to visit Neuschwanstein castle during our stay in Munich. The initial contact and booking took place via WhatsApp. Sepp answered all of our questions and requests within a very short time. The tour was simply great. Sepp picked us up at the hotel on time and greeted us with a glass of champagne and the agreed snacks. So tasty! We really enjoyed our time with Sepp. From start to finish it was important that we felt comfortable. Sepp had a pretty good knowledge about king Ludwig and the royal family with all the beautiful castles. The trip was our highlight of our time in Munich. We highly recommend Sepp, the Guide.
Sepp was an amazing tour guide and spending the day with him was one of the highlights of our family trip to Europe. As soon as we booked the tour, Sepp sent us several emails and stayed in consistent contact with us up to the morning of the tour. He was always on time and answered all the questions we asked. The food he provided was so good!! He accommodated special drink requests and was willing to check into extra tour stops. My family had a great time with him. You will not regret booking a tour with Sepp!!
Your searching can stop here. Book Sepp as it is Wow factor all the way and the best spent money. He is so attentive, knowledgeable, super nice and will work the tour to suit your needs. Great communication from pre booking, booking, to on the actual day. Best day ever and we will definitely book Sepp again on our next trip, actually wishing Id booked a second day on this family trip!!! Incredible memories and great start to our family European winter adventure. Thanks!
Dear Sepp, You've exceeded our expectation by far! The whole family is still talking about our tour to Neuschwanstein castle. What a kind and knowledged host you were. One of the best guides we ever had. Thanks to make this day very special for us. Thanks also for the gift! We can't wait to try it. To everyone who is reading this. Don't look for another guide. Get in touch with Sepp.
