Garmisch-Partenkirchen is an amazing place! This merged city sits at the heart of a historical European trade route of the Middle Ages causing an unbelievably unique and blended history. In more modern times, the influence of the Nazi party and the atmosphere of the American occupation in the late ’40s has radically impacted the attitude and culture of this valley paradise. This tour provides fantastic insight into the history, art, architecture, dining, and people of this sublime Alpine city.

Rose led us on a great tour of Garmisch with lots of history and local insights. We had so much fun! Easy walking, learned a lot of local history, stories, and architecture. Rose also gave us some helpful tips for getting around Garmisch and Germany in general.

For a transplanted American, Jake has a very deep knowledge and history of the area. We booked an all day walking tour with Jake and it could not have gone better. Due to Jake's knowledge, the tour can be customizable on-the-fly. Right off the bat we made introductions and had a brief conversation about what we liked, didn't like and things we thought we would want to see. We ended up starting at St. Jakob because it was close to the apartment and then worked our way all through Partenkirchen and Garmisch. Jake was willing to stop anywhere, answer any questions, and was extremely personable with the four of us. He enquired about where to have lunch and was also willing to stop and get a coffee when we wanted it. Being a very small group, and a walking tour, he was able to take us into some very hidden little nooks and crannies of the city as we walked around. We enjoyed churches, a gasthaus for lunch (and the story of how the city came to be), ideas for shopping the next day, as well as a couple of really great recommendations for dinner and breakfast the next day. We certainly enjoyed the trip, learned a lot of history, and I even came away with a few books to hunt up and read based on our conversation throughout the day.
A Great way to get to know Garmisch and Zugspitze - Don't forget the chocolate

What an amazing Day Jake our Tour Guide was very patient as our train was 2+ hours late due to track issues He adjusted our tour based on our schedule We took the tram to the top of the Zugspitze, the weather was not great but we really enjoyed the tour including the Igloo Hotel and Church Lunch at the Lodge was delicious Jake knows everyone so we met some really nice and interesting people and saw a few sights other missed The walking tour was fun and informative. There is more history to this area then we imagined Jakes stories and adventures added to the local charm He even took a detour and took us to a sight where my Aunt had work many years ago. Chocolate shops and butter pretzels rounded out a great day in G-Partenkirchen Thx Jake
Excellent tour!
