The experience in the region south of Munich was very good—a pleasant trip with a palace, castle, and top-tier landscapes. There are two things that should be improved. First, while our guide did speak English... it was Southeast Asian English, which was honestly quite hard to understand. Aside from how challenging it can be to speak in front of so many people, it was very obvious that everything was being read off notes, and combined with poor pronunciation, it made things difficult. Mind you, it's worth noting that inside the palace and castle the guides are different, and their English is top-notch. If I understood correctly, anyone who wanted to could leave their earphones on the bus so they could reuse them for future groups. I took mine with me, but if that really is the case, it honestly feels pretty unhygienic.

The whole day was perfect, from locating the bus exactly where we were informed it would be, to our knowledgeable guide, who fed us snippets of information about Ludwig II during our journey, to the well-arranged visit and tour of the stunning Linderhof Palace, then lunch by the beautiful lake in Nueschwanstein, before the guided tour of the amazing Neuschwanstein Palace. It was then back to Munich, with return time as expected. Thank you for a magical, memorable day!

This was one of the biggest highlights of our trip!! Monika, our tour guide, was so lovely and knowledgeable. The castles were GORGEOUS, the bus tour over there was convenient and comfortable, and the vibes were amazing. We learned so much about King Ludwig II's story and a lot of German history for context. We even learned about Onion Domes... you will too if you go on this wonderful tour!!

The Neuschwanstein castle appearing from the surrounding hills and mountains is a magical sight. For me, lying in the famous Black Forest. it is one of the wonders of Bavaria - together with the Linderhof Palace. Johnny, our guide, was great. Quirky but humorous and informative Jonny - our tour guide - was great company and very informative.

I loved everything! The guide was always available and very friendly. The tour is very well organized, with plenty of time to take photos, enjoy the beauty of the castles, and even buy a few souvenirs. There is an audio guide in Portuguese. I have nothing bad to say; everything went really smoothly. Kudos to the whole team.
