Maximilian was a wonderful tour guide. He arrived on time and had water waiting for us in the van. On the way to Neuschwanstein Castle he had many great stories and knew so much about the history of the castles and King Ludwig II. He made all the reservations ahead of time for our tour. Between castle tours, Maximilian took us to a lovely out of the way local dairy/restaurant in the beautiful Alps by the Plansee with loads of charm and great regional food. Then on to Linderhof where again he had all the arrangements made. What a great tour of the Bavarian area and of the castles of King Ludwig II. I would definitely recommend Maximilian for any of the tours in Germany.

Max is a fantastic guide! Our group found him thoughtfully engaging, and the context he provided brought us a deeper understanding of Bavarian history. Max knows the hidden gems, and we appreciated the unique experiences he provided. Highly recommended without any reservations. He’s usually booked far in advance for good reason!

Maximilian is an excellent tour guide! He spent the whole day with our family (2 adults and 2 kids, ages 5 and 8) and did a great job of keeping us all engaged. He is an excellent historian, knowledgeable about the geography, and was generous with his suggestions about highlights and travel planning for the next part of our trip. We were very grateful to have been in his care!
