Best day ever at Neuschwanstein + pretzels!
We booked a private tour to Neuschwanstein Castle and added on the pretzel making class at the end. I cannot recommend Jake and All Things Garmisch enough, he was knowledgable, funny, and entertaining for the whole trip. His tour provided a very detailed history of the area and the political/royal climate through the decades but added in his own humor so the information was never dull or dragged on. We had enough time to stop for lunch at a great biergarten before heading back to Garmisch for the pretzel class. The class is a must do. Jayd was our teacher and she was amazing. You are provided everything needed and given a copy of the receipe to take home. She walks you through every step and then you get to eat/take home your creations. It was the truly the best day of our vacation.
Response from the operator: Thank you guys! Jayd and I both had a blast hanging out with you guys!!!! Come back anytime!!!!!!!! Jake

Spectacular views!
This is an absolutely stunning location with breathtaking views. You. can challenge yourself with some climbing & feel like a kid with sledding. Our guide Chris was wonderful.
Response from the operator: thank you guys for the review!!! I will be sure and let Christof know. He will be so thrilled ! come back anytime!

Zugspitze Mountain
Our tour guide Jake was amazing! Full of knowledge of the region and history and geared the tour to our interests. We took a detour to visit a monastery that was not on the tour but we were excited to visit. He took our needs and interests into account. We enjoyed Jake’s company for a couple of beers at the end of the tour which was great fun! Highly recommend this tour and Jake!

Nice trip to top of Germany
Good tour with very good explanation and nice tour guide but I was expecting to see some more of the local villages around Garmisch-Partenkirchen which was not part of the tour Also the tour leader did not get us back to hotel as expected but he gave us train tickets instead which I believe is not fair
Response from the operator: I'm so sorry you did not enjoy the tour! As in all of our private tours we can adjust the schedule to meet your desire. If you would have informed me that you wanted to see some of the local villages I could have taken you. It is a shame as there is some beautiful Alpine villages around Garmisch. Also, I clearly state in the tour description that we do not offer return transportation to Munich with this tour. I am sorry you felt this was not fair but I believe I informed you of this detail again before we even left for the day. - please come back and we can try again to make your trip to Bavaria the best!

A Private Zugspitze Mountain Tour and Pretzel Making Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Munich.
How much does A Private Zugspitze Mountain Tour and Pretzel Making Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Munich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A Private Zugspitze Mountain Tour and Pretzel Making Experience take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Munich is not rushed.
Is A Private Zugspitze Mountain Tour and Pretzel Making Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Munich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A Private Zugspitze Mountain Tour and Pretzel Making Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is A Private Zugspitze Mountain Tour and Pretzel Making Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book A Private Zugspitze Mountain Tour and Pretzel Making Experience?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Munich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Munich and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A Private Zugspitze Mountain Tour and Pretzel Making Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Munich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Munich?
+
On Outty we rank every Munich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Munich Ghosts and Spirits Evening Walking Tour, Munich Classic Bike Tour @ 11.30am with Surfers & beergarden stop, Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from Munich. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Munich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Munich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
