What Our Guests Are Saying

Surprisingly delightful
“Anna was such a delight and so passionate about her home state of Bavaria. Could have spent all day with her and never tired.”

Brilliant Guide!
“Our guide was Anna who masterminded our trip to Neuschwanstein Castle. She was well organised and extremely knowledgeable keeping us entertained with her charm and yet not making us feel like school children. Her ability to make history come alive was superb and with a great personality, it made for a brilliant day out. She was always in control of the party and ensured the whole thing went like clockwork - it almost felt she was part of our family. The tour included the trip on the train. She was a delight and it was a favourite part of our trip to Munich!

Tour with excellent knowledge

“Our tour guide Anna was very knowledgeable and was always open to answer questions from the group. Anna was also very friendly, pleasant and approachable which always helps to make a good city tour successful. We would highly recommend the tour and having Anna as your guide, would be an added bonus. Meeting location was in a good place and the tour started on time. The tour of the old town lasted just over 2hrs and was extremely informative.”
