I highly recommend the castle tours. Our guide Thomas was exceptional! He was informative, kind, helpful and his knowledge of the area and castles was astounding! Thank you for a wonderful trip!

All the group tours were sold out so we took a chance on the private tour with less than 24 hours after booking. It was worth it! Bruce was a fantastic guide and was flexible with our schedule and interests. We never felt rushed and were able to see the castles and other locations that interested us. I highly recommend the trip and am extremely grateful we were able to go on such short notice.

Choosing a private tour to the castles was absolutely the right choice for our family! We had an amazing time and our guide, Lucas, was fantastic! He took care of everything for us, showed us some amazing sites, and gave us the flexibility to alter the day as we wanted to. We had such a good time we booked another tour with him for the next day, which was also great (it ended with pretzel making)!

Had a great private tour with the family and learnt a lot of interesting things about Neuschwanstein and Linderhof. Got to see lots of the beautiful countryside as well as a bonus route through Austria. Our guide Jan was very knowledgeable and made sure the tour ran smoothly.
