Pretzel making is a must do in Garmisch - Our trip to Garmisch would not have been complete without our pretzel making experience with Jade. She did an amazing job from start to finish. She provided us the history of Bavarian pretzel making and thoroughly went through the pretzel making process. She kept us entertained and provided a step by step hands on experience. Our pretzels were amazing and we cannot wait to make them at home. All Things Garmisch is an excellent company. They communicated very well during the booking process and were very responsive to all our questions.

What a blast! - This pretzel making class was a blast. The tour guide/ chef Jayd was fabulous. Highlight tour of Garmisch. There were 4 of us and we learned the history of pretzels, made and then ate them. I would recommend this tour to anyone and all ages. Thanks for a great time!

Touristy—not serious baking class - Very touristy. The gal in charge was from Seattle, WA, and didn’t know squat about baking, nor about authentic German pretzels. She asked the students what yeast was. Someone answered ‘bacteria,’ she said no. Someone else answered, ‘fungus,’ she also answered no. Then she said, “ Yeast is not a bacteria or a fungus it is a living organism.” Wtf?! She pushed the sales of drinks very hard. She wasted a large part of instructional time bartending. Selling drinks was her main goal, not teaching pretzel making. She also was very proud to offer so many toppings for pretzels, including ranch power and crickets. Again, wtf?! This was advertised as an authentic German pretzel baking class. We were given pre-measured dry ingredients to stir with water. Then we were given pre-made dough to shape into pretzels. Another wtf?! This would have been appropriate for young children, not an expensive baking class. The pre-made dough we were given was old and slightly crusted over. It was also dyed GREEN. It was leftover dough from a class made 3 days before on St. Patrick’s Day. Someone asked for regular dough, she said she’d let each person make one regular pretzel, but she needed to use up the older dough. So we left with green pretzels, made from green dough that already had a skin on it. The pretzels lacked the dark glossy shine that is the hallmark of authentic German pretzels, they also did not rise well and were flat, very dense, and chewy. And I’m not comparing them to American mall pretzels, but rather the many, many authentic German pretzels I ate during my trip. We ended up throwing them away. The gal/instructor didn’t know anything about baking, we did NOT learn how to actually make pretzels (we got to stir, then roll pre-made old green dried out dough into long ropes to shape our pretzels—a great activity for a kindergartener), and we left with 3 subpar, very unappetizing green pretzels. This class was a joke and for the price (about $90/person) I expected a serious class. Do yourself a favor, buy a couple authentic pretzels and enjoy them with some good German beer. Keep the other $75 and watch a YouTube video on German pretzel making after you get home. The pretzel on the left is one of our pretzels, and the photo on the right is a “real” pretzel
