The ride was easy, but amazingly beautiful. This is a great deal in my opinion. Nice bus, they offered drinks for cheap. Bathroom on bus. You buy the tickets to the castle by cash on the bus, so know that’s an extra cost… but this is still a good deal for 11 hours. The bike ride around the lake was flat and easy. We had a pretty big group (40-ish) with different skill levels, so nothing…”

“Our tour guide, Rob G, made our trip to Munich meaningful. He took us to historical places and provided the important history and meaning of each location. He is indeed a charming man. Rob G kept us safe along the 4 hour tour and made the experience memorable. I rate this event far better than our tour of Neuschwanstein castle. The company provided comfortable and well equipped e-bikes and offered us helmets and even gloves . We absolutely would repeat the tour. The cost is exceptionally a great value. Again, thanks for providing great people like Rob, that have great knowledge and passion for showing visitors this fine city!”
