I am Elena, a licensed professional guide, mom of 3 kids and an expert in tourism, who creates unique itineraries and customized tours. You can book classical tours to the castles, palaces, city tours, the 3rd Reich history and hiking, unique tours by Zeppelin, private tours by airplanes and ballon trips over the Alps. My tours include culture, history, nature, and architecture. I also always strive to include some hidden gems that exist in many places but are not often shown to tourists. Because customer satisfaction is my highest priority, I customize tours based on the interests of my customers. I am passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Bavaria, and with my licensed expertise and high-level education, you can trust that your journey through this stunning region will be an unforgettable, informative, and enjoyable experience. While I am not a driver myself, I work closely with trusted companies in Munich to organize professional drivers and licensed minivans/cars that are registered as taxis, ensuring a comfortable and reliable transportation experience for my clients.

Overview of your Munich tour

Around 8:00 - 9:00 I will meet you in the lobby of your hotel in Munich. In a comfortable car with a driver and me, you will ride along the picturesque Alpine road through Bavarian villages. Throughout the drive (about 1 hour and 40 minutes) you will learn about the fairy-tale king Ludwig II and the history of Bavaria and Europe. We will go to the Maria Bridge, where you can enjoy the most beautiful view of the Neuschwanstein Castle. Afterwards you will visit the Neuschwanstein castle with a group (private guided groups are not allowed). We will then visit village of Oberammergau is famous for her painted houses, skillful woodcarvers and the theatrical presentation of the Passion of the Christ. Ettal Monastery is a 14th century monastery, one of the largest Baroque monuments in southern Germany. On request, we can schedule a lunch in a Bavarian restaurant with fresh monastic beer. In the evening we will bring you to your hotel in Munich. Tickets to the castle are pre-booked for you by the guide.

Our family of 6 had the most AMAZING day in Bavaria with Elena September 18th. The Mercedes van was spacious and comfortable and Elena was timely. She was knowledgeable about the history of Bavaria and Neuschwanstein Castle and we felt we really understood Germanys history and the local culture during our tour. The most special part of the tour was how personal it was and she curated the day so we could see all of the attractions we were interested in. We started off with Neuschwanstein Castle which was gorgeous and interesting, followed by a fabulous Bavaria lunch then Alpine Slide which was so fun, then a little waterfall near the town of Fussen and lastly an hour or so walking around the cute town of Fussen. We even went to the Austrian border since my boys wanted photos of another country! The day was organized and well planned out and Elena was kind enough to give us tips on taking the train on our other day in Munich to see Dachua. If you are looking for a personalized trip to see the castles and Bavaria as a whole, I highly recommend Elena as your tour guide during your trip to Munich.

Elena was great! She promptly picked us up and from the first minute was a wealth of knowledge about the places we visited. She adapted the tour to meet our individual needs and preferences while not sacrificing any of the important details. Her driver Dejan also was excellent. We highly recommend her and would definitely consider other tours she guides.

Elena is a pleasure to tour with - look no further. Her enriched understanding of the region, coupled with an accommodating outlook make for a great day. Elena is more than willing to customize to preference, time constraints, and ensures that your tour "bucket list" is more than checked at the end of the tour. She has much to share. Thank you for an outstanding day in the mountains, Elena. Highly recommend.

This was one of our favorite tours and Elena offered great commentary. We had a nice lunch and by starting later in the day we avoided the crowds. The view from the castle was in itself worth the trip. You won't find a sweeter guide to tour with than Elena. Elena doesn't drive but she arranged for an excellent driver who helped keep us out of the rain that day.
