Fun, informative, and a nice variety of activities - James and Locky were outstanding!!! The trip was well planned, with a variety of activities. Bike ride was over nice flat terrain in beautiful setting. The hike to to castle was a bit of a grind, so don't feel bad about taking the bus instead. The water in the lake is warm and you can take a dip. Lunch is traditional Bavarian, with good beer. The castle is interesting, and James's description makes it even better. He has a great way of telling tge story behind the castle without it feeling like a school lecture. It's a great way to see a bit of Bavaria outside of Munich, while getting a bit of exercise as well. Great food and drink are a bonus. James and Locky did a great job keeping everyone together. We did a lot on the trip, but never felt rushed. James and Locky are fun and personable, and their enthusiasm makes a great day even better. Wear good shoes and bring rain gear if the weather is iffy. On my trip, it rained almost the whole time, but everyone had a blast anyway. I cannot say enough good things about this trip. Highly recommend

Our tour guide James was... - Our tour guide James was so organized and informative and made this a really great day trip! He had planned all arrangements ahead and everything was seamlessly executed. We enjoyed the easy bike ride and James had selected several photo stops with amazing views and took great photos for us! We were informed every step of the way what to expect and where to be. Highly recommend James and Mikes Bike Tour!

Meg - At the start of this tour we were told that Germany no longer has any kings, however we were clearly lied to because our tour guide James is alive and well in Bavaria!!! James (and Lochy) were absolute legends, super kind and informative and had a great attitude all day despite the cold and rain. Thanks for the fabulous day!!

Amazing bike, lake swim and castle visit experience - The journey specially the bike ride was splendid. It was lush green meadows and a beautiful lake to take a dip in. The castle itself was also impressive. Tyler and shaun were amazing guides and made sure we knew our history well and very attentive to the needs of all visitors.

- I had an amazing time. I was nervous because it was raining during the bus ride but lucking Mother nature was on our side today. It had only rained when our outdoor activities ended. So pictures were clear and decent. I would recommend bringing swimmers if you get a warmer day to fully swim in the Lake. Still very beautiful. My guide Tyler slayed. He is very knowledgeable and kind answered all questions we had even though it was only a couple. Dankeschön Mikes bike tour and Tyler!!

Don’t hesitate. If you can ride a bike, swim, and walk, you will thoroughly enjoy yourself. - Very well organised, friendly, kind, knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommend. Impossible not to enjoy the day. So many parts: an easy stunning bike ride, a super fun refreshing lake swim, a yummy lunch and chance to talk to others on the tour, short but steep hike and stunning castle with an interesting history. Lots of facilities throughout the day so never uncomfortable. Stunning views the whole time, we were blessed with great weather which I’m sure helped. What more could you want? We had Tyler and he was brilliant and really funny.
