The visits were really nice, and the castles really beautiful. The organisation was smooth and well planned. We were two French friends in the happy group of Elisabeth and let me tell you we were really happy to be with Elisabeth! She's a wonderful guide, really funny and pleasurable to be around, she's truly passionate about her job and it shows! I really recommand that experience !

The escort and driver from 10+! Helpful and kind. The trip of its own takes you to wonderful places...really wonderful! So super recommended! Unfortunately, the turnout in these wonderful places in the week of August bank holiday gets busy! Queues for everything. So, if I had the choice, I would go back there in the off-season.

    Spectacular tour with very nice and competent guide. An excellent yet relaxing experience, where the time table allowed quite a lot of freedom. The castle is crowded, so make sure to make the tickets included, orherwise you possibly won't get in. Linderhof is also a good site to visit, and the guide told the fascinating story about it.

    My family of 4 from America had an outstanding time! On our trip through Europe, this tour was our top highlight. Everything went smoothly, the bus was comfortable, and our tour guide Christine was awesome. She had snacks and drinks readily available, and we met some really great people on our tour. I honestly can't say enough great things.
