Visit Dachau Memorial Site from Munich by train and bus, with a sensitive English guide, museum time, documentary, and practical advice.

“The tour guide, Achim, was very kind, friendly and knowledgeable about Dachau and the history surrounding Dachau. I would recommend him for anyone taking the tour. He allows some personal time to view areas of the camp by yourself at the end of the tour, he gives very interesting facts and information about the camp and around the records from the time. The journey to the camp was realively easy, Achim guided to the train which brought us to Dachau and then onto a bus to the camp. The tour was not too long, the trip was around 5 hours, it would be nice to have some more free roam…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 546 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $95

Review this Nuremberg day trip from Munich by train, with medieval sights, the Imperial Castle, Nazi Rally Grounds, guide tips, and practical drawbacks.

“Really torn on this one. For the amount of things that we saw, I understand why we just “flew by” things in the city vs stopping to see anything - but at the same time I felt like there was a lot of wasted time and not a ton of information provided. I would have rather paid more for the tour to take the high speed train vs taking cheap train with a transfer as that significantly ate into our time to see things. And once we finally got there we had to wait again to pick up people staying local. The tour guide was clearly not passionate about the…”

Visit Neuschwanstein and Linderhof from Munich in one day with castle tickets, a comfortable VIP coach, snacks, drinks, and expert guiding.

“Excellent tour, fantastic driver, guide, snacks and drinks. EXTREMELY comfortable bus with extra large seats and area to hold drinks, snacks, bags and coats. Only thing I need to mention is about Neuwschwestein castle. It is difficult for those with knee, hip or foot issues. Many stairs and steep inclines to go up and back down *even if you take the bus to the bridge and the horse and buggy back down. It doesn't cover the entire distance.”

11.Königssee Day Trip with Boat Ride and Salt Mine

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 93 reviews · 10 hours · from $87

Visit Königssee, hear its famous echo, cruise to St. Bartholomä, and explore Berchtesgaden salt mine on a full-day trip from Munich.

“The tour overall was a good experience. The bus was comfortable and the tour guide and driver were absolutely lovely. (Her name is Hanae and driver's nickname grizzly bear) apologies for the bad memory with names. I didn't have any expectations for the salt mine but it was a fun experience because of the slides, however, I just wish we had more time at the lake instead. I recommend bringing your own lunch to eat closer to the lake and enjoy the views, because the restaurant services there take a lot of time, and considering you only get less than one hour free time at the lake it's not worth…”
