We loved the whole trip. Gerda was a great tour guide. The story of Ludwig II. is so interesting and fascinating. Making this day trip with "Mentor Reisen" was great. We can absolutely recommend this Company. Unfortunately I booked our tickets with Headout and not with Mentor Reisen. Headout booked the ticket amount of 423¢ twice on my creditcard which really upsets me meanwhile. They are not really supporting me with this issue and didn t offer any help.

Both of the castles were beautiful and well woth seeing! Pedro, our guide for the day, did THE BEST job of letting us know what to expect and how best to do things. I can't think of anything that he could have done better! Our bus driver really did an impressive job especially maneuvering the bus on the twists & turns & small town streets. I would highly recommend using this company for this tour!

We booked this tour at the last minute because tickets to the castle were sold out and there were no other tour options available. The head out team could not have been kinder and more helpful in terms of accommodating all of my questions and concerns. And the tour guide Stephen was extremely kind and knowledgeable. It was a happy accident that we ended up with this tour- and we learned a ton too!

The whole experience was incredible. The only bad was the mandatory collection of the tickets from fussen. We should be able to get the tickets in electronic form with an email and not be obligated to go to fussen and lose time there. Or at least collect them from the castle entrance.
