This was a very enjoyable day trip. Julia was a fantastic guide snd driver. The schedule was very well planned out. We really enjoyed each leg of the trip and felt as though we had enough time at each one. The Neuschwanstein castle was our favorite. Julia did a great job of prepping us for how the tour of the castle would unfold. She also gave us an interesting history lesson on Ludwig II prior to the tour. The staff at the castle does an excellent job of running the tours and keeping it organized. The castle is very impressive especially for its time. The throne room was magnificent. No pictures allowed. After our tour of the castle, we stopped at Oberammergau for lunch and then had some time to walk around the quaint town. Our last stop was the Ettal abbey. It was a short visit, but that’s all that was needed. We started the day at 8:30 am and were back at our hotel before 5 pm.

It’s very convenient and relaxing to be on a private tour. David Wolf was very knowledgeable, naturally joyful and made us very comfortable! We were never tired.
As a solo traveler I felt completely safe and taken care of during my 1 day tour around the Bavarian Alps and surrounding castles! Lucas was very knowledgeable of the history and stories of each area. He knew great spots for photography and even made a little pitstop at a waterfall because I mentioned how much I love waterfalls in passing.
This was a great tour and our guide, Lucca was knowledgeable, helpful and on schedule. He spoke good English and was very personable with our group.
Amazing Tour! David had great knowledge and it was a wonderful day! Can only recommend.
Lucas was an outstanding driver and guide! He customized our trip to match our interests and took us to incredible places we never would have found on our own. He knew all the best Christmas markets, unique local shops, and hidden gems that made our experience in Germany truly special. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendly personality made the day enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for a personalized and memorable tour!
Lucas was excellant. My and my friend enjoyed the trip very much. The castle was amazing. Ge chooses and advise the best picture spots. He also bought us donuts 😊. He provides good pieces of history of the place and answer to the questions. Would diffidently recommend him
I reached out after a previous tour was cancelled and got this recommendation. They were prompt, effective communicators, and provided an amazing day for the family I booked it for. 11/10 recommend ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Private Driver – Highly Recommend Lucas! We had an outstanding experience with our private driver, Lucas, and cannot recommend him highly enough! Lucas first picked us up in Passau and transported us comfortably to our hotel in Munich. The following day, he returned right on time and took us on a beautiful journey to Neuschwanstein Castle before continuing on to our hotel in Lausanne. Covering that much ground over two days could have been stressful—but with Lucas, it was smooth, relaxing, and truly enjoyable. His vehicle was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable—perfect for long travel days. Lucas speaks excellent English, which made communication easy, and he was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the entire trip.One of the highlights was when he took us to his favorite authentic Italian-owned restaurant—something we never would have found on our own! It added such a personal and memorable touch to the experience. If you’re looking for reliable, comfortable, and personalized transportation with someone who truly cares about your journey, Lucas is the one to book. We will absolutely be keeping his contact information for future trips and wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again.Thank you, Lucas, for helping make our trip so memorable! 🚐✨
This is a long day with a lot of car time, but David gave us a lot of information about Ludwig that helped us get ready for the Castle.
What a fabulous day exploring the Bavarian countryside with stops @ Neuschwanstein, Oberammergau & Ettal Abbey 🙌 We are a family of 6 & Lucas picked us up in a beautiful, very comfortable Mercedes van. He took such great care of us! Along the way, he shared insights about the areas that we were driving through and had so much knowledge about every stop, making our day extra special. We had the best experience & will definitely call again when in town! Thank you Lucas!
Lucas was an amazing tour guide. We booked him two days in a row. He knew where to take the photos.!Took us to all must see sites. Very knowledgeable and best recommendations for dining. Having a private tour with him is amazing! My adult children enjoyed the entire excursions
We had the most incredible day with David! He is incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much. This was our first time to ever do a private tour, now David has spoiled us for all future travel. We enjoyed the tour so much we hired him a second day. We saw and learned much more than we ever could have on our own. Do not hesitate to book with this company. Many great guides we met throughout the day on tours also. What a treat to meet David and allow him to show us this beautiful country. Pickup and drop off right from your hotel. Always prompt for pickup. Clean vehicles. Bonus, David had great taste in music!
This was an amazing trip. The views were majestic. And our guide David was hands down the very best, knowledgeable of all the history, engaging, thoughtful, such a delight.
Very knowledgeable and prompt tour guide. Everything ran very smoothly and guide was able to accommodate our special requests. Highly recommend.
David is a wealth of information! Very nice person and takes care of you from start to finish. Highly recommend him for all your needs.
Very snowy day that Lucas made special. Would highly recommend Lucas and this tour. He had great knowledge of the sites.
Great guide however ticket said we were getting horse carriage ride to castle but we did not. Request refund or credit Guide adjusted our tour to weather
We had an amazing experience with our driver, Spendi. He was knowledgable and personable. I have an old knee injury that could have made this trip very difficult but Spendi always took breaks when I needed and never made me feel rushed. I learned so much on this trip. My husband and I were able to connect with another member of the team who helped us create a custom overnight trip in Prague. I cannot wait to work with this company again on my next trip to Europe. There is no need to shop around. Truly the best company we worked with.
Wonderful experience. Great to be able to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Super easy to get to the castle via shuttle after getting to the destination. Tour guide Shpendi was great got us there safely and was great with stories and history of our stopping points.
A pleasant tour and drive with David! Loved the local knowledge imparted and conversation. Got some great insight about what we were seeing and where we were, that we would have missed without a guide. David handled all the logistics wonderfully and we were smooth sailing the whole way! Was a great day trip from Munich and the flexibility was nice.
If you want to see this corner of the world beyond the guidebooks, our private day tour is the way to go. In the span of a day, our guide, Tom, was easygoing and flexible. With the heart of a teacher and the humor of a good travel companion, he made landmarks, and hidden gems come alive. Logistics were seamless, the pace was just right, and every question opened the door to an engaging conversation. It felt less like a tour and more like traveling with a local friend who truly loves their home. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful day with our guide “the Bavarian Professor”. The information was well delivered and pitched at the right level For both adults and the children in our group. We were given good suggestions and the time allowed was just right for our needs. The transport was clean and tidy. The information on the tour description was correct. Communication pre and post tour was great. The tour is very expensive but this did include tickets and door to door personal experience.
Spende, our guide, was very knowledgeable and he joked around with my family which I enjoyed. After the Neuschwanstein castle, he took us to Plansee lake in Austria and after we went to an old germantown called Oberammergauer which was known for its cuckoo clocks and ornaments. There we had an awesome lunch followed by some yummy ice cream. The local ice cream shop owner knew him well and we could tell he was well liked. Our final destination was the Ettal monastery where we stopped for some cheese which was delicious and is made by the monks living there. The conversation with him went very smoothly. He was very personable and even went out of his way to find a souvenir shop where my daughter could buy her boyfriend a t-shirt. When our family was getting tired and ready to go to the next stop, he reminded us what stores and items we may be missing. We ended up finding a cute ornanent for our Christmas tree along with a special token for our daughter. Spende A++(Love the new hat ;)
Wow wow wow Lucas was amazing and Day with him was just absolute blast. He knows also the things you can’t find in Google. The day was pleasant from the start to the end. Definitely worth it. Except the great overview of the history we get, We had really enjoyed every moment. He is great example of how smooth tour to unknown place should works! You know exactly what will come, where You go, where to shopping, what is the time plan, where is the bathroom plus all the suggestions to have good food and many more hints that were useful later on following trips around Europe! If You get Lucas please be ready for awesome Day!
What for the great time we had! Thank You again. The guide was prompt, accurate and provide our group great comfort for our Day. Time flies fast when things clicks. We had dive into a history of this stunning and famous place due to a great knowledge of our guide too. If Ever again plan some prive tour then I would not hesitate to pick ATB again. Great job!
The door to door service was amazing. I also really liked the guaranteed entrance to the castle (I didn’t have time to plan and worry). Our driver was so knowledgeable and friendly. I instantly felt safe and in good hands. It was me and my 11 year old daughter and I didn’t even blink an eye. I personally appreciated his good driving. Of course he spoke just about perfect English which was very helpful. We had one day to spend as tourist and this was the perfect day for us. As an added bonus he even paid attention to my daughter’s musical taste and played her favorites on our way back to Munich. Thanks for a magical day🇩🇪🏔️🏰
A fairy tale day with Shpendi/ The Professor in Bavaria! A beautiful drive, a magical castle visit complete with historical background and carriage ride, charming town visit and local lunch and ending with a visit to the monastery. Thank you for a perfect day!
A fabulous guide, I truly recommend! Nice car with comfortable driving, very professional as well as full of knowledge on the Bavarian history. Moreover, he can be flexible if time allows for the customisation of the tour even. The best tour for sure for the area of Swangau!
The experience has been amazing and the attention too. David was impeccable in his explanation. Punctuality is something we appreciate very much and they comply 100 percent with this.
Lucas took great care of us! Good communication for meeting times, great knowledge of Bavaria and the many sites he took us to. Prompt, kind and respectful.
We had an unforgettable tour experience in Munich thanks to our guide, Lucas. He was always punctual, friendly, and full of knowledge. Lucas took us to some truly breathtaking places, including King Ludwig’s castle, the highest mountain in Germany with absolutely stunning views, and the Swarovski Museum, which was a unique and beautiful stop. He made the entire day smooth and enjoyable, sharing interesting stories and history along the way and showing us some of the best restaurants in the area. His professionalism and passion for what he does really stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—highly recommend Lucas to anyone visiting the area!
Lucas was so great. Every part of my husband and my experience with him was nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend booking with him.
