A great time!
We ended up going hiking around Spitzingsee since the original area was a mess from the recent rains. We had a great time! Stefanie was an excellent guide, it was like going for a hike with an good friend. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Flexible and personable guide
My son and I had booked a more strenuous hike with Stefanie but I sprained my ankle the day before and could only do shorter distance hikes. Stefanie pivoted immediately and created a really special day for us. She was also delightful to spend time with.

Great taste of alpine hiking
What a beautiful hike! Even a brief, late spring hail storm couldn't dampen the experience. Chris was an excellent guide. Friendly and very knowledgeable. My wife hurt her foot prior to the hike, which slowed us down. Chris adjusted pace easily and took great care to be sure we weren't going too fast while still ensuring we had a great time. Wonderful mountain restaurant, waterfalls, and migrating cows! The local hydrotherapy pool was an excellent (and chilling!) way to finish.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Brian! It's great you enjoyed the tour so much. I have passed your compliments on to Chris :-)

Five Star Tour - Alpine Toboggan is super fun!
We went on a hike with Stephanie in Blomberg. We really wanted to go on an Alpine coaster and I found that Munich Wanderland was one of the few tour operators that specifically mentioned this activity. We started at the Munich main station and took a train and transferred to a bus (so no driving needed!). We then arrived at Blomberg. We took a chair lift up the mountain. We hiked around the mountains and took a break at Blomberghaus for coffee and cake. The sights were beautiful and we really enjoyed the hiking and the fresh air. We then hiked about half way down the mountain to the Alpine toboggan which we took down the mountain to the bottom. We then took a bus to Bad Tolz and walked around the town and had an introduction to some German food specialties while we waited for our train. It was the best activity that we did while in Munich and we highly recommend it! Stephanie is an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable, personable and friendly and she was able to time our activities perfectly so that we avoided the rain. The Alpine Toboggan was super fun and great for adults and our 13 year old. You can find videos is you search youtube for blomberg tobaggan (Tripadvisor wouldn't let me link to the video). Just a point of information, Stephanie is in great shape, and the "easy" hike was a bit strenous for us office types. :) We would love to go back to Munich and if so, I would definitely book another tour with Stephanie!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Charlene. I am glad you enjoyed our Hiking and Alpine Coaster Tour so much. I have passed your compliments on to Stef S as well :-)

Bavarian Wonderland
We were in Munich for the Oktoberfest and did this tour on September 27th. Our guide was Stephanie and our driver was Robert with Trip Companion. Both were excellent. Stephanie's English is exceptionally good. You will have no problem communicating with here in writing or in person. We had planned to go to the Eagles' Nest that day but due to the weather, we did a pivot and did this scenic tour of Berchtesgaden and also toured the The Berchtesgaden Salt Mine. The weather was lovely and the views were nothing short of majestic. We had a great day and would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to some of the most beautiful parts of Bavaria. These photos do not do the area justice. Truly breathtaking views.
Response from the operator: I appreciate your kind words, Lisa! Berchtesgaden really is such a great place to visit. Hopefully see you again this year :-)

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Light Hiking Tour in the Bavarian Alps from Munich: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Munich.
How much does Light Hiking Tour in the Bavarian Alps from Munich cost?
+
Prices start at $830 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 Light Hiking Tour in the Bavarian Alps from Munich take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Light Hiking Tour in the Bavarian Alps from Munich worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Light Hiking Tour in the Bavarian Alps from Munich?
+
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 Light Hiking Tour in the Bavarian Alps from Munich suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Light Hiking Tour in the Bavarian Alps from Munich?
+
Around 4 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Light Hiking Tour in the Bavarian Alps from Munich 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 Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from Munich, Munich Classic Bike Tour @ 11.30am with Surfers & beergarden stop, Dachau Memorial Half-Day Tour from Munich (Early-Start). 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.
