Review of BlackBook Tours’ small-group Salzburg day trip from Munich, with Mirabell Gardens, fortress views, Austrian lunch, and practical tips.
“We were very fortunate to be the only guests for the tour on August 5, 2925. Our guide, Victoria, was excellent and she had a wonderful assistant, Angela. Victoria was knowledgeable about the city and great navigating the transportation. Due to construction, our travel both ways was disrupted with changing either from train to bus or between trains. Many announcements were in German only, thus it would have been difficult for us to navigate on our own. The city of Salzburg is as charming in real life as in the movie! A beautiful day in the land of the Sound of Music. Mozart’s birthplace and the fortress were also very…”
Review of a private Munich tour combining Neuschwanstein Castle, Zugspitze, Bavarian lunch, private transport, and skip-the-line access.

Two hours went by in a flash and ended with an inspired recommendation for dinner!”
Review of a private Munich tour to Königssee and Berchtesgaden Salt Mine, with boat rides, Bavarian lunch, private transport, and guide tips.
“I had a wonderful tour with Sepp. Königssee is a truly spectacular sight and shouldn't be missed if you're in the area. Having been on many tours over the past few years, I strongly believe that a skilled and attentive guide makes all the difference. Sepp is, in my opinion, the best service provider I've encountered. He communicated with me in the days leading up to the tour and ensured we were exceptionally well cared for throughout the day. In short, don't miss this tour if you're ever in Munich.”
Pick a city, a river or a castle.
