We recently returned from a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest; we were in Munich for about a week.
Several months ahead of our trip, I put together a list of places to see besides the beer tents. I emailed a number of tour providers with the list and asked for suggestions and an itinerary for the places we wanted to see. Most of the tour providers responded with a very limited plan – they either didn’t go everywhere, had limited ideas, or could only fulfill part of our itinerary.
Stefan Rieg of “Sightseeing Bavaria Exclusive” responded with a complete 3-day plan covering all of our requirements as well as additional suggestions to round out the days. The plan gave us time to enjoy Oktoberfest and time on our own in Munich. All subsequent correspondence was timely, professional, and allowed us to make changes to the plan. None of the other tour providers was so thorough.
After arrival in Munich, our guide Katrin met us as planned and shepherded my group of 4 for 3 long days. Katrin is very knowledgeable about the destinations and guided us safely on our journeys. She was very accommodating to on-the-fly plan changes and extending the day to see additional sites; she also was very capable of assisting with a few challenges faced along the way. An added and unexpected dimension was Katrin’s emotions when we visited some locations, and she readily shared her experiences growing up in the east. These conversations made our experience one that we will remember.
I highly recommend that you contact Stefan for your tour requirements!
