Why Choose a Private, Customizable Tour?

This tour stands out because it offers complete control over your day. Rather than following a preset schedule, you decide what to see and when, within the 10-hour window. The driver-guide acts as your local expert and chauffeur, making the trip as smooth as it is flexible. Many travelers appreciate the ability to skip crowded spots or linger longer at favorite locations, which is not always possible with group tours.

You’ll be picked up right from your Munich hotel or central location, adding to the convenience. The private vehicle comes in two sizes — either a 7-seat or 9-seat option — accommodating groups of up to 8 adults comfortably, with ample space for luggage. This setup ensures a relaxed journey even with a full group.

Customizable Itinerary Options

The real magic of this tour is the ability to craft your own route. Popular choices include:

• Neuschwanstein Castle: The fairytale castle that inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. It’s an absolute must-see for first-timers, offering stunning views and a glimpse into Bavarian royalty.
• Hallstatt: The picturesque lakeside village known for its quaint streets and breathtaking mountain backdrop. Many travelers find it perfect for photos and peaceful walks.
• Oberammergau: Known for its intricate woodcarvings and historical charm, this village provides authentic Bavarian ambiance.
• Königssee and surrounding forests: For lovers of nature, this scenic lake offers remarkable views and serene boat trips.
• Lake Chiemsee: Often called the Bavarian Sea, it features boat trips and the impressive Herrenchiemsee Palace.

Your guide can suggest routes based on your interests, time constraints, and weather, ensuring a truly personalized experience.

What to Expect During the Day

As your journey begins, you’ll meet your driver-guide in the hotel lobby or a designated central pickup point. Expect a professional and friendly service, with your guide sharing insights about Bavarian culture, history, and local tips along the way. The tour lasts up to 10 hours and covers roughly 300 kilometers, which means you’ll have plenty of time to explore each spot at your own pace.

Since entrance fees, boat tickets, and extra activities are not included, you might want to budget for some additional expenses. However, all fuel, tolls, parking fees, and city entry costs are covered, preventing any surprise costs during your day. If you choose to extend beyond the 10-hour window, an overtime fee applies, which is payable directly to your driver-guide.

Transportation and Vehicle Options

Choosing the right vehicle is key for comfort, especially if you’re traveling as a group or with luggage. The 7-seat vehicle comfortably fits 6 adults with luggage, while the 9-seat option accommodates 8 adults with more space for luggage.

This private setup allows you to avoid the cramped feel of group buses and gives you a more relaxed, intimate experience. The vehicle will be fully insured and equipped for a smooth ride through Bavaria’s scenic routes.
