Two key tours stand out in Ingolstadt and Pfaffenhofen. The first, a superb self-guided bike route, covers 32.5 km through the region’s scientific and natural highlights. It’s perfect for budget travelers (free admission) and accommodates groups up to 20 during its 4.5-hour duration. I love this route for its flexibility and educational value.
The second gem is a private walking tour through Ingolstadt’s historic core. At $231.39 for groups up to 15 people, this 1.5-hour experience earns a solid 5/5 rating for its thorough coverage of medieval architecture and local history. This tour gets my vote for its expert narration and intimate group size.
