Day well spent at Zugspitze - A perfectly organised tour with breathtaking views from the highest point in Germany. Elisabeth gave us clear instructions which helped us navigate our way. She also shared some very interesting facts about the history of the place and the surrounding towns. Shout out to our driver Philip for driving us safely. Would definitely recommend.

A worthwhile trip to remember - An excellent trip from Munich. Easily accessible on the train. Family tobogganed on the ice of the glacier and swam in the lake below. Views at the top were stunning

Our most memorable experience - We didn’t get the best day visibility wise, but the journey, the views from within the mountain plane itself are breathtaking, and it’s fun for all ages. My teen boys felt like they were on a different planet! If you can get Sven, he was tremendous, kind and very knowledgeable!

Breathtaking view! - The view was breathtaking. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. The top can be a little chilly, but so worth the trip. Elisabeth was a wonderful tour guide and Marius got us there and back safe and sound. Highly recommend this tour. Was the highlight of my vacation.
