    A great tour guide (Courtney) and a great bus experience (very comfortable, plenty of snacks and coffee) was just the start of a great tour. It was also nice to see a place like Oberammergau and Courtney gave great ideas for where to get a snack. She also knew exactly where to go to get the best pictures of the castle. An easy walk to the bus from the train station and all-around great experience.

    The most stunning snowy day seeing Bavarian castles, forests and mountains. We took so many photos and videos and made memories to last forever. Tour start point easy to find and coach comfortable. Bring your layers and good walking shoes - there’s lots of slopes and stairs. Thank you to our host, Dayse

    Had a fabulous day visiting Neuschwanstein Castle, the snow and sun out on the same day, magical. Our day was made more memorable by our amazing guide Deyse and driver Martin. Deyse clearly loves her job and will make your day more fun and informative. She Always had a smile on her face and only to happy to provide suggestions. We only went inside the castle because Deyse said we should, and it didn’t disappoint. We also had kids travelling with us in our party and she was engaging with them as well. Couldn’t rate this tour highly enough amd whatever Deyse suggests you should do, I would do it. Thanks 🙏
