Jake was such a wonderful guide. We actually spent two days with him guiding us around southern Bavaria. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a punctual, fun, energetic, and thoroughly informative trip!

Originally from South Louisiana but I've lived in Europe for over 28 years. I have worked as a private tour guide for sixteen of those years showing traveler's my love and passion for Bavaria, Italy, and Austria. I studied European history and theatre at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta Georgia which gives me the unique ability to bring the stories and history of Europe to life for you and your family making my tours not only informative but extremely entertaining as well! So, please, let me show you the beauty that is Bavaria! - Fully Vaccinated Against COVID-19 - German Taxi Drivers License - International Drivers License - Tour Guide License for Neuschwanstein Castle granting advanced entry into the castle - Insured by Alliance for passengers, tours, and transportation,

Beer and a "Fairytale"castle in Bavaria, what could be better!
Overview of your Garmisch Partenkirchen tour
This my favorite way to see Neuschwanstein Castle! I pick you up in our Mercedes V-Class for a leisurely ride into the Alps and advanced entry into Neuschwanstein castle. While at the castle grounds I entertain you with tales of mystery and intrigue discussing the death of Ludwig II, the birth of Germany and why DO Bavarians wear Lederhosen. . . It is a fun and exciting way to see the beauty of Neuschwanstein. After the castle - and plenty of hypotheses as to how Ludwig II died - we make out to a local beer garden and brewery for more stories and of course beer. After a great lunch we then leisurely make our way back to Garmisch for a stop at the famous Schranne beer hall where the stories continue and so does the beer! The tour ends with a leisurely stroll or drive back to your hotel at or around 5:00 p.m.

Jake was absolutely fabulous! The entire day was a blast, and by far our best day to this point! He is extremely knowledgeable and had a great personality. I have been to Neuschwanstein 3 previous times and this was a totally different experience. I would highly recommend this tour and Jake for your guide!

If we had hand picked our tour guide we could not have done better. Jake was extremely knowledgeable providing us with a ton of history and answering our questions. And the brewery tour was the icing on the cake. My family and I would not hesitate to request that Jake be our guide on any future tours.
Vito R.United States
We have been in Europe 2 weeks and have gone on numerous tours. Jake's was the best! He is knowledgeable and funny and made history come alive for my family. Also, my teenage daughter broke her toe a few days before the tour, and Jake worked hard to minimize the amount of her walking which was very much appreciated! Finally, the brewery tour was the best one I have ever been on. I would go on this tour again. And I look forward to touring with Jake again!!!

You wont find a better storyteller than Jake. this was an absolutely fantastic tour with a great guide. Don't miss it. Lover the brewery tour.
Rebecca O.United States
My husband, two friends and I loved our day with Jake. From beginning to end, it was an informative and entertaining ride. Great scenery, wonderful food and beer, and great banter. We couldn't have asked for a better time. And we believe Jake missed his calling as an actor--we won't forget his stories anytime soon!
