★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,526 reviews · 5 hours · from $62

Half-day Dachau Memorial Site tour from Munich with an authorized English guide, transport, museum exhibits, and an English documentary.

“Having the flexibility to alter the itinerary was nice. That said, if you do want to make changes, message your guide ahead of time. Our guide was very nice but he spoke hardly any English and we couldn’t communicate with him. I did have him drive me through Garmisch and would have loved to stop for a photo but he didn’t understand and we stopped, randomly at a Lidl after we’d pulled through. We opted out of the stop in Austria at Highline 179 (honestly four big stops is too much in one day) and wanted to stop for lunch in Austria, instead so we could enjoy something there. By…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 931 reviews · 7 hours · from $35

Dresden to Saxon Switzerland for Bastei rock and Königstein Fortress by double-decker bus, with optional side-wheel steamer return. Great value.

“A very nice trip to Saxon Switzerland! We managed to visit the national park + the castle. I highly recommend to go to the mountains - one of the most incredible natural wonders I've ever seen in my life! Unexpectedly, the Königstein Fortress was also very interesting! The area itself is very big, and it will take some time to go around. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go back by boat. Perhaps, next time.. As stated in the description of this tour, it is in German language only. Do not expect driver to speak English - he won't be doing that. Even though I did not understand the word,…”

VIP coach trip from Munich to Neuschwanstein and Linderhof, with guided visits, Oberammergau photo stops, snacks, and big views.

“Amazing tour with a very knowledgeable local guide and fantastic bus driver. Definitely recommend. However, beware that there is a lot of walking, and a good portion of it is uphill and up the stairs inside Neuschwanstein castle. If you have breathing or mobility issues, keep this in mind. There was an option to take a horse-drawn carriage most of the way up (€8.50 as of Nov 2025) and also back down.”
