5.00We had a fantastic experience with Sepp, visiting Neuschwanstein and the Zugspitze. Would highly recommend. Sepp’s planning and communication in advance of the trip was excellent. He really takes care of every detail and goes to great lengths to make it a special day for his guests. Travel was very comfortable for our party of four and Sepp made sure that we had water and a variety of delicious snacks and sandwiches. Neuschwanstein is an unbelievable site to see and Sepp knew how to avoid the crowds and get us to the best spots. It was a little bit rainy and Sepp had us covered. Lunch at the Zugspitze was fantastic, the best meal I had in Germany. Unfortunately, the views of the Alps weren’t great due to heavy fog but still worth the experience.
Wonderful tour guide!

5.00This tour was fantastic. Sepp had everything planned and then replanned based on feedback he was getting from his contacts prior to our tour (adjusted time to ensure we would avoid crowds at Zugspitze). He was extremely communicative leading up to our tour date. Accommodated all of our requests that kept our young kiddos and all of us happy and comfortable. (Tea, beer, sparkling wine, food for kids…) It’s always hard to trust a stranger with your family - but based on reviews, we took the leap and it was worth it. Our tour with Sepp was the highlight of our overall trip. He was friendly, fun, safe driver, knowledgeable, and well prepared. If we are back in Bavaria we will definitely be back in touch with Sepp to coordinate our next adventure. Thank you for an amazing experience!

5.00Do not hesitate booking a trip with Sepp! Not only is he kind, knowledgeable, and a conscientious driver, but he made the trip way more enjoyable than if we had done it on our own. We ate great food, and every comfort we asked for was provided to us. He knew the best places for photos of Neuschwanstein, the best places for snacks, and most important, he was an extremely safe and responsible driver.

5.00Sepp was recommended to us in a Facebook group. After getting in touch with him we have booked trips to Neuschwanstein castle and the Zugspitze. The booking process via WhatsApp went absolutely smoothly. Since we have booked two tours Sepp offered us a Munich old town tour for free! All tours were just wonderful. Sepp responded to all of our wishes. Be it in terms of sights, timing, food or drinks. We didn't had to worry about anything during our tours. Sepp is an exceptional host! No need to look for someone else.

5.00100/10 Sepp was our best tour guide throughout our trip of the Netherlands and Germany! We lucked out and got Sepp all to ourselves on our walking tour. He was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the area and a great conversationalist. He answered all of our questions and provided plenty of information about each stop. He was kind enough to offer suggestions for how else we could spend some of our time in Munich. I could not recommend him enough!
Great tour!

5.00Our Hotel recommanded us Sepp the Guide. We couldn't get a better one! Sepp was very knowledgeable in regard to Munich's and King Ludwig the ll history. He told us some fun facts in a pretty good way. It was not part of the tour we have booked, but we even visited the crypt of Ludwig the ll! Sepp did everything he could to make us feel good and comfortable. Highly recomanded
