The castle was great and the town and shops where well worth the long bus ride. The romantic road wasn't anything special just ordinary road with normal looking houses

Doing what: 3-day Munich to Frankfurt Tour - Romantic Road, Rothenburg, Hohenschwangau, Neuschwanstein
We loved our Viator 3-day Munich to Frankfurt Tour Romantic Road. The first bus we were on was great, a really nice tour bus and our stops at the castles were great. Hotel Mueller was wonderful. The bus from Hohenschwangau was not as nice as the first bus from Munich to Hohenschwangau. The stops in Augsburg and Dinklesbuhl were way to short because we went back to Munich to pick people at the bus station. Totally a waste of our time for the tour. Rothenburg was wonderful and Hotel Spitweig so unusual and quaint. The nightwatchman tour - great!!. The bus trip from Rothenburg to Frankfurt was not as enjoyable. Was only a bus ride, no stops to tour, and only when we asked why there were no tour tapes playing did the driver put one on to describe where were riding through. It was obvious that from Rothenburg to Frankfurt was not a tour and was just a bus ride with the driver picking up and letting off people. That was really disappointing.

The 3d/2n Romantic Road tour was excellent.
All hotels were above average and bus trips went smoothly.
Even though our itinerary and vouchers were not at waiting for us upon our arrival at our hotel the night before our trip--the tour company somehow got all our papers to us while we were on our tour.
The Bavarian Alps are beautiful and the towns are interesting. Also, it is a worthwhile way to get from Frankfurt to Munich.

It was worth to join this trip if you just want to spend only 3 days in the romantic road. The trip highlight the key scenery of the romantic road, the hotels are good. However, the last day from Neuschwanstein to Munich was arranged in the car of local tour, my husband and I need to sit separately as most of the seats are already occupied on the local tour. Suggest the tour to reserve some seats for the people book in this trip.

As the name implied, Romantic Road was not romantic. The scenery on the way to Innsbruck was better. Guide was too quiet. Did not keep us entertained throughout the journey back. Would have been better if she would have provided more information on the history of this places.

Doing what: Overnight Munich to Frankfurt - Romantic Road, Rothenburg
We were disappointed in the amount of time actually on the Romantic Road - probably like 25% only. We thought we were going through Wuzurburg and ended up at shopping mall - Wertheim Village wainting 20 minutes to pick up passages and then went straight to Frankfurt. We do not believe we received what we had been sold and paid for.

This was worth our trip to Germany! It was perfect!! The hotels, the romantic road, the stops. Where to begin... On the big coach we had us and 1 other couple on this journey. We left Frankfurt and made stops along the way for photos. We arrived in our 1st overnight in Rothenburg at the parking lot where we were met by our taxi driver. He dropped off the 1st couple at "Hotel Spitzweg" then on to our hotel a boutique Hotel Goldene Rose. Wow, what a beautiful hotel, friendly host and excellent breakfast. The most beautiful town and friendly people. Got a gorgeous "black forest" cuckoo clock and steins at "Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas store. (they shipped perfectly) DO NOT miss the Night Watchman tour. He was so interesting and entertaining. Tickets are provided. Great views of city on this tour. Next day we traveled to Hotel Muller at Hohenschwangau. Excellent breakfast, best in Europe! Loved the castle on the 3rd day, tickets provided. Walkded down to Fussen enjoyed every minute of this trip. You are on your own, the driving is taken care of for you and it was a relaxing and perfect way to see the romantic road and castle. Excellent value!! While on the road the drivers had great info to share. Would love to go back. I would not miss the chance to do this one again. Another fantastic trip with Viator, Thank You!! 5 Stars!!!

This trip was a lovely surprise. As Individual travellers you are given vouchers to join buses along the Romantic Road and vouchers for WONDERFUL hotels and tours etc,. This was well organised but plenty of free time to relax at the same time,

We had a wonderful time on this tour and the villages of the Romantic Road are definitely something to be seen! Rothenburg was wonderful and we were given ample free time to have lunch and shop or visit any of the museums or other points of interest that we wanted. We took in the Crime museum which was quite interesting. Harburg Fortress was also a very interesting stop on the tour. We definitely recommend this tour for a nice break from Munich.

A really enjoyable day out. The visit to Harburg castle was very interesting. It is a lovely drive along the romantic road and the visit to Rothenburg allowed plenty of time to explore, shop or what ever you want.

Romantic Road was a disappointment, but the rest of the tour was money well spent. Enjoyed it very much!

I liked the sites and recommend to see them. We took this tour on Wednesday, June 20, from Munich. The tour guide on the bus, Elen, was less than average. We really regretted to have a bad guide, but the castle and the city were very pretty. Keep in mind that you will not be allowed to take pictures inside the castle. Part of the romantic road was closed, so, for that part we had to go on the highway instead of going through pretty small towns. There may be a heavy traffic on the way back (we had a bad traffic), so, plan your time accordingly. You may not be back in Munich exactly when you think you would be.

Doing what: 3-day Munich to Frankfurt Tour - Romantic Road, Rothenburg, Hohenschwangau, Neuschwanstein
The tours of the castles were good. Would have liked more history on Munich. Our stay in Hohenschwangau was lovely. Very little information was given on the towns as we drove up the romantic road. Would have liked a tour guide or at least a pamphlet with historical information on each town we visited and a map of each town we stopped in.

Well worth the price paid. Everything worked well - the transport and accommodation was first class. The hotels that were booked were top quality. I recommend the nightwatchman's tour in Rothenburg. You are given a choice of that or the day tour and I opted for the night one. The nightwatchman was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. This was a great way to see the Romantic Road - plenty of photo opportunity stops along the way.

Wonderful! Beautiful! We had a really great time on the "Romantic Road" trip. All of the details, hotel rooms, tours, were absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Viator and we will certainly book again. Price, value, experience, couldn't have been more perfect!
