Perfect day trip - This was an amazing day trip! A nice break the busy feel of München, this tour was great. Our guide, Sven, did a wonderful job of speaking both English and German fluently to inform us of things to look out for on the way to Zugspitze on the bus, as well as the best way to spend our time at the mountain itself. The cable cars and cog wheel trains all have amazing views & the beer tastes even better up in the clouds! Highly recommend this tour & especially this tour group - mainly Sven!!
