    . The choice of 2 very different and equally beautiful castles. Our guide Elizabeth was really top-notch: kind, polite, interesting and comprehensive commentary on the castles and Bavaria. Excellent organization and good pace for the day. And our driver (Kucha) was also top-notch.

    My tour guide and bus driver were wonderful. Her name was Elisabeth. She was patient with me because I didn't read the bring cash part and ordered the tickets to get into the castle/palace for me allowing me to grab cash from ATM later. She was very kind and fun to listen to when speaking about Germany's history. This was a great experience and I will probably be coming back next spring and renting a car to better explore some of the places she showed us/talked about. Definitely recommend this tour and thank you for everything!!

    The tour experience was indeed awesome. We were travelling with a 7 month old baby and were unsure how a 10 hour tour would turn out - esp. in rainy & windy conditions. However, the bus was clean and well equipped, the tour guide was really helpful and the other fellow passengers were also great. We were given snacks & drinks at regular intervals, and the tour guide kept sharing a lot of information about the history of Munich and the two castles throughout the journey. Overall, it was a fun day and would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Your guide shall walk you through its idyllic surrounding park known to be one of the most artistic and stylistically complex ensembles of its time.

    Fairytale finale at Neuschwanstein
