The first few days we felt were a little rushed with city/hotel changes and early morning trains. This led us to cancel one of our scheduled tours due to fatigue and pouring rain in Zurich. After we arrived in Munich on day 5 the pace slowed to be more manageable. Still our bus trip to Linderhof and Neuschwanstein felt very rushed. I would have liked to have spent more time at both locations. Pedro our guide for that trip was very good but to keep the tour on time we left 3 people at Linderhof. I was concerned about making it back to the bus in time at Neuschwanstein, so I missed visiting the castle and waited in town while my husband went. It was probably a good decision as we left another passenger there.

Our 2 private tours in Munich were excellent. Kevin took us on a walking "Beer and Bites" tour which we both enjoyed. Max took us to Berchtesgaden and Eagles Nest. Both tours were well paced, and we enjoyed discussing history with both guides. We had some confusion with our guide in Nuremburg. He did not have our name and was looking for another customer and our paperwork said we would be meeting "Kevin" at our hotel. After some discussion between us and the hotel staff we realized that Bastien had booked both the hotel and the tour for us and we were his client for the day. Charlie was also an excellent guide and included some YouTube videos in his car to help give context to some of the WWII sites we visited.

Each of the hotels we stayed in were comfortable. Hotel Beausite in Interlocken was very picturesque and appeared quite old on the outside. The interior was clean, modern and very comfortable. Our room at Hotel Cocoon in Munich was huge and included 1 1/2 baths, sauna and large seating area in the room. The hotel in Nuremburg was next to the market area and an easy walk to the historic area.

I was a little concerned about having a rental car, but my husband did the driving. We had no problems finding parking and navigating from one city to the next. We did have difficulty finding the car rental return location in Frankfurt. The address was shown at the train station but was behind construction barriers. We had to circle a few blocks before final spotting a sign on the fourth floor of a parking garage near the station.

Overall, our trip was fabulous! We have joked that we were touring Europe one mistake at a time. Fortunately, the mistakes were minor and easily corrected. We quickly learned to navigate the public transportation in each city and were even able to add a side trip to Dachau while we were in Munich.

I've never used a travel service before but knew I didn't have the time to really plan out everything for our trip and Lucie was so helpful suggesting ideas and taking feedback on what our group would find interesting. She helped plan and arrange everything from hotels, all transportation (even from the airport/train station to the hotel), and tours/tour guides. I think one of our favorites was the tour of Dachau with our guide Tom who provided so much history and context for us in a conversational way, I think we got so much more out of it than we would have if we just went on our own and walked around.

Although this hotel looked just like the picture, the size was very very tiny. Even with two of us in one room, we felt cramped. Although overall, the hotel was very clean, there was a small bug on the bed and then in the morning, another stink bug on my suitcase. This hotel was fine. My son thought it was very cute, but it was not a hotel I would want to return to.

The tour guide was from South Africa and his English was very easy to understand! He also even included time for potty breaks on the bus. ride. They thought of everything; all we needed to do was show up and enjoy! Lucie at KimKim did a great job at finding us family friendly hotels that absolutely fit our needs. This is not the easiest for a family of 5. Since we had a multiple night stay in Munich, Lucie was able to arrange a apartment like suite with small kitchen and even a washing machine, which turned out to be a great bonus I didn't think I would use but it was oh so helpful!!. Out hotels were organized to in the city centers so being able to use and experience the German rail system like we hoped was a plus.

For example: one tour was cancelled and our specialist quickly booked a cooking class which was so much fun. Kim Kim also refunds quickly, money credited even before I returned from trip.

Hotel Reviews
Hotel am Mirabellplatz Salzburg
Salzburg

This was a clean and historic hotel. It was nice. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was top notch. It was close to everything and we were easily able to walk to everything we wanted to see and return to our hotel if needed. The room was a nice size. There are no amenities at this hotel which was a departure from all others we stayed at. Just a lobby and a front desk. That was somewhat disappointing to us. One thing that was sort of strange is they there is a Chinese restaurant below the hotel where our room was and the smell filled our room. It was pretty bad when we got there but got better over time. The only thing we did not care for here was the parking. They did not have parking. They did provide a discount at a nearby garage but it was the most expensive of our trip.

This hotel was nice. The staff were helpful. There was parking on site with a car elevator which was fun. It was accessible by subway to the city center. There was not a lot that was within walking distance that was touristy and we were tourists so we had to travel by train to do what we were there to do. It was in the nice Schwarbing neighborhood and there were restaurants and shops everywhere. We felt safe at this hotel. There was a problem with our original hotel so we were changed to this one last minute. It was more modern. Room was not large but it was clean and comfortable.

the second bed was basically a portable bed against middle of wall with no headboard which isn't very comfortable to read a book or sit in for any length of time, the head of the bed was up against a chair so we slept in it sideways so I could read a book at night, so my feet were hanging off the bed, would have been better if they at least put it against the wall but we didn't want to rearrange the furniture. the bathroom was nice though, as were the linens and amenities

Oh my word, this gets 10 out of 5 stars, the best 24 hrs of my life, literally! They even let us check out at 3 instead of 12. The pool/spa was fantastic, I will dream of it for years. The views from the pool were spectacular. We were a bit early in the season so one of the trails we hoped to hike was not open and some of other restaurants were not either, but we found another hike, and areas to explore. The buffet was included and AMAZING. We did not have time to enjoy the "private movie screening" for our family bc we wanted to be outside/in the pool. This was the highlight of the trip, highly recommend the splurge. It is pricey but worth it. We had a view of the mountains/cow pastures on one side and lake Lucerne on the other. The amenities included snacks, champagne and a fridge full of beverages including wine. The ferry to Burgenstock is just across from the train station, at Pier 3, and the boat ride is very nice- and the funicular to take you to the restaurant is great also.

the issue I had with this hotel was the location, the staff was very nice, the food at the restaurant was very good, but the location was in the middle of nowhere, with only a gas station across the street. There was really nowhere to go after coming to the hotel for the night, Freiburg is a 15 minute drive away on the highway. The rooms were also very basic. They were clean, but had none of the typical hotel amenities. The bathroom was tiny, there was nowhere to put any toiletries and there were tiny towels and plastic cups (like a kids cup). The parking was also, as my husband said, "the most stressful part of driving each day" bc the parking garage/barn was very tight, need a person directing you so you don't hit anything. The people, however, were kind and the restaurant was good, there was just literally nothing to do there. We took a walk on a short path but it ended at a busy road. Bedding was good!

The next morning, we had a walking tour with Miha, who bonded well with my two teenage boys (13 and 16 years old). He knew exactly how to keep their attention as he explained the history behind each of the sites we visited. One of the highlights was our visit to Brandenburg Gate. It was incredible to stand in such a historically significant place, where so much action took place. We also explored the city by walking and taking the underground tram.

We had also booked a tour of the Sachsenhausen Memorial, and Sergey was there again the next morning to take us. The tour guide, Daniel, was incredibly passionate about the history of the Memorial and shared a wealth of knowledge. His dedication to explaining the significance of the site made the experience even more memorable.

Our favorite tours were the castle tours with Pedro, the food tour of Berlin with Alex and the Nuremberg tour with Kurt. All of the guides were very knowledgeable and the country that we saw is beautiful!
