This was spectacular. The Bavarian countryside is breathtaking, and the castles far surpassed my expectations. The guide was very gracious and accommodating. She gave great background and history on the places and Germany. Insights into King Ludwig and why he built the castles and how he lived. The cafe she recommended for lunch was perfect, and the Bavarian cream was delicious. The stop at the village passion play was an added treat. A good balance of culture and shopping time. We loved Germany and the beer.

One of our 6 week trip's highlights. Tour guide was pleasant, and the trip was unbelievable. Plenty of stops, time for shopping and very well organised. Don't miss it.

This is an excellent trip. The area around the castles is one of the most beautiful in the world. I would definately recommend the trip. The tour guide was great.

Bus is very clean and new. The guide is nice. Both castles and scenery are beautiful. However, I wish to have more time in Neuschwanstein part. No time to walk to the bridge that is the famous point to take photo back to the whole castle. Shopping at Oberammergau is not interesting and not significantly cheaper. It should be skipped to loosen the tight schedule and provide more time for the most important part.

Great trip, the scenery is just breathtaking. It's a long day, so you might want to make sure to get enough rest the prior day before the trip. Bring some snacks for the bus ride because it is a couple of hours.
