Private Tesla Alpine day tour review
What about four hundred euros does not buy
The exclusions on this listing are specific: “Cable-car tickets…, Partnachklamm entry, and meals unless pre-arranged”. So at about four hundred euros a person, the entry fee at the hut is still yours to pay, and so is the mountain railway if you go up. I have no quarrel with that — the listing is clear, which is more than can be said for some — but the headline price is not the day’s cost. Four tours on this site exclude the gate fee in writing and this is one of them: the full reading is here.
Usually included
- A private car and driver for the day
- A route reworked around what you want to see
- Munich pickup
Not included
- Partnachklamm entry, named in the exclusions
- Cable-car tickets
- Meals, unless arranged in advance
What the 15 reviewers say
Three of them name the same person, which on a private tour tells you most of what you need to know.
- “travelled in early January and rated it five stars” Dulce — and names Yulia
- “five stars, and names Yulia” Koeli — on the guiding
- “five stars, and names Yulia” Ingrid — on the guiding
Dulce’s January is the detail I would pull out. The gorge is open all winter on the shorter 08:00 to 18:00 hours, the path is icy and floodlit only by daylight, and a driver who can wait while you take it slowly is worth more in January than in July. What winter actually does to the gorge is a separate page. The operator warns that short-notice closures for safety are sometimes unavoidable, so check partnachklamm.de on the morning you travel.
What works
- The route bends around you, which no coach day does
- Fifteen reviews, all of them five stars, three naming the same guide
- It genuinely comes to the gorge, unlike the busiest tours here
- Works in winter, when the fixed coach itineraries thin out
Worth knowing
- about four hundred euros a person, the highest per-person price on this site
- The gorge entry is excluded, in writing
- Cable car and meals are extra on top
- Ten hours is a long day even in a comfortable car
Ask for the gorge in the morning. The walk in from the ski stadium is 2.2 km and the light in the gorge is better before the middle of the day.

Frequently asked questions
Is Partnach Gorge entry included in this tour?
No. The listing excludes “Cable-car tickets…, Partnachklamm entry, and meals unless pre-arranged”, so the entry fee is paid at the hut on the day even at about four hundred euros a person. See which tours include it.
Is it worth the price over a coach tour?
It buys a driver who will change the plan, which matters if somebody in the party cannot walk far or if the weather turns. It does not buy anything at the gate. The other per-group options are on the private tours page.
Does it run in winter?
One reviewer, Dulce, travelled in early January and rated it five stars. The gorge itself runs on the shorter winter hours from October to May — see the gorge in winter.
Who is Yulia?
A guide named in three of the fifteen reviews. I do not name operators on this site, but a guide the reviewers keep naming is a fair signal on a private day.
