Neuschwanstein Castle Small Group Day Tour from Munich
Munich, Germany
My Rating

This is a really good tour with a good combination of road and rail travel, and with good timings. There is an option to walk or take the bus on the last leg to the castle. As a 60-something I am glad I took the bus. It is steep. But the walk down via the gorge is lovely.
Our guide Maxine (an Aussie) was fun, vivacious, knowledgeable, and very friendly. She invested a lot into making this a happy day for a very mixed bunch of British, Americans, Australians, Chinese, Bulgarians and one each from Brunei, hungary and Taiwan! A thoroughly good day out!

My Rating

This is a good tour which has 100 miles of motorway at each end. It takes in the site of the Nazi rallies, and the beautiful and historic city of Nuremberg. Our guide was a friendly, professional and very knowledgeable German woman. I am not averse to walking-but the the walk around the city and up to the castle was a tad ardous for an unfit British man in his 60's. A couple of the women did stop off on the way for a coffee and I collapsed into bed soon after arriving home! But no-one can say the tour was not value for money -- and we had a guide who was, as I have said, a total pro.
