It was an average tour. I think the guided tour with stops where you go out of the bus with the guide and hear more details about each attraction would be a better option.

The castles are beautiful. I recommend to see them. The guide on the bus, which we had, Elen, was less than average. We took this tour from Munich on Thursday, June 21. You will not have time to walk around the garden or see the cave in Linderhof. Keep in mind that Neuschwanstein castle has one side under construction. Be prepared to walk approximately 15 minutes up the hill to the castle. The shuttle or horses (if you choose to use one of these) will take you only half way up. The tour guide inside this castle will not impress you. You will hear a very bare minimum of explanations. You cannot photograph inside the castles.

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.

It was a very good tour. We visited the local food market and tried some local fruit, rode a carriage driven by Thai oxen, saw a waterfall in the National Park, saw monkeys, had a good Thai lunch and rode an elephant. I even rode on elephant's head, which was VERY exotic. Two aspects, which we did not like at all 1. we were picked up from the hotel 40 minutes later than scheduled 2. our guide did not speak a lot. We expected more information from him throughout the tour.

I recommend this activity in Buenos Aires. I liked both the show and the dinner. The hotel pickup and drop-off after dinner were included. Check the weather and dress accordingly. The show is in not indoors.

Since Buenos Aires is a large city, it is worth going on this tour and seeing the different neighborhoods. There were just two very short stops. You will have to rush to see what there is to see during these stops. The guide did not give a lot of information. I felt it was very basic.

It was a good tour. The tour guide was very good too. We learned a lot about Chile and Santiago. I would add a couple of more stops and free time to see the places.

The actual tour from the time we boarded the tour bus was only two hours, not 4 hours. Even though the Dolmabahce Palace was open, the tour went to Beylerbeyi Palace. Beylerbeyi Palace is also very beautiful, but we really hoped to see the Dolmabahce Palace. The views are very nice and the palace is worth visiting.

The dinner was just OK, not bad, but nothing special. The entertainment was acceptable. Belly dancers we saw three different dancers were good, but folkloric dances were just OK. The transfer from and to the hotel was timely and very convenient. It makes sense to go only if you want to see the belly dancers.
