Southern Germany Travel Review: Zugspitze Peak, Violin Maker Experience, Lederhosen Factory, Brewery Tour, Blacksmith Forger

Our trip planner was extremely helpful in planning our "extraordinary itinerary" in Southern Germany. At first a little jostled by the fact that our Germany trip planner was in New Zealand!, we quickly worked out a communication schedule that worked for each of us. The trip planner had done this multi-time zone communication before, lol. I would also note I was the coordinator for three couples (all family members) travelling together and the planner was understanding and supportive of my need to communicate with the other travelers as he and I refined the itinerary.
Of particular note was our trip planner's knowledge (and willingness to expand that knowledge when needed) in identifying the factory and craft-maker tours we wanted to include in our itinerary. If he didn't know something, he and the travel team, was on the research to get it for us.
Our trip was excellent, 15 days in Southern Germany de-emphasizing the bigger cities and tourist spots. We had a great time and only wish the weather had been a little dryer on the first few days.
