This tour was absolutely amazing and worth the trip. I want to especially mention Barbara (Tour Guide) and Adrian (Driver) for their fantastic efforts. Barbara is a treasure with her kind hearted approach and knowledge about all things related to the tour (probably all things German/Bavaria as well). She speaks with a good relaxed tone and is very thoughtful about allowing tourists to feel safe, informed and excited about the visit to Zugspitze. She really is a national treasure - I mean it from the heart. Adrian was an expert in getting us from Munich to Zugspitze, smoothly and without fanfare. Punctual and patient. We loved and appreciated our time with them on the tour. The mountain is absolutely worth visiting - along with the cable car and cogwheel, and you get to see it from Germany and Austria sides. One last point on Barbara, if I had more days available - I would have gone on just about every upcoming tour she was going to take in the following days, to Salzburg, etc. She was that amazing a tour guide. I hope the travel company recognises and rewards her with great honour. Thank you once again Barbara and Adrian! God bless you guys.

Great tour. Babara did a great job. Lost o scenery to see. Bus was full. Although cloudy at the top it was a great view once the fog blew away. I highly recommend this tour. A big day on the bus though

Great tour, worth every euro. Just wish we didn’t have so much fog at the top! The sun did break the clouds a few times. Overall a great day, Sven and Smiley the tour hosts were super.

We were very lucky to have caught a clear day up in Zugspitze and the weather and views were fantastic! We had a great time with Sven who got me so excited about what to expect whilst on the bus ride up from Munich! And all my expectations were certainly met! Sven’s bubbly commentary has certainly made this entire trip worthwhile and one of the highlights of our trip! His vast knowledge of the area around Zugspitze and Munich certainly has inspired us to return back to Zugspitze and the surrounding towns too! Splendid tour, and will highly recommend it for family trips and couple trips too! :)

Sven was an amazing tour guide. He gave us some amazing facts all the way to the mountain, which made the travel fly by. Whilst there everything was organised and informative. We got 4 hours of free time, which was really great. Sven also recommended where to sit to get the best views on the way down. Thank you so much 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏔️❄️

This was a wonder trip that I fully enjoyed at Mt. Zugspitze! Our tour guide Elizabeth and driver Andrea were great hosts with their hospitality and knowledge about history around the Bavaria area. They were very organized and respectful to the group and made sure we had all the information we needed to have a successful and comfortable trip. I will definitely recommend others to go to Mt. Zugspitze with this guided service!

Great time visiting the mountains and having lunch on the Austrian side. The Austrian side cafe is better for views and layout plus it is larger. The best views are at the top naturally but on the glacier level they are beautiful as well. The cafe there is great for an afternoon beer before going home.
