The van door closes with a soft, reassuring click and the city of Munich rolls away—cobbled squares and beer‑garden chatter shrinking in the rearview as the guide gestures toward the Alps on the horizon. Inside a new Mercedes or Volkswagen minivan, the landscape rewrites itself every hour: Baroque roofs give way to pine‑lined passes, then to glassy lakes that dare you to pull over. This is not a fixed itinerary; it is a two‑day (or longer) private movement across southern Germany and neighboring countries, paced to your interests and driven by a licensed, local guide who doubles as chauffeur, translator and cultural curator.
