Nice Romantic Road Tour - There is a lot of bus time on this tour but our Melinda and our driver Waldemar made it pass smoothly and swiftly. Harburg castle was a fascinating medieval fortress and Rothenburg is a quaint medieval town. Since it was March not every shop was open but the crowds of tourists were almost nonexistent. The weather rained a tad but did not ruin the day.

Great day trip from... - Great day trip from Munich and we enjoyed the tour by Jackie! We had foggy weather in the morning which affected the views from Harburg Castle, but we liked the mysterious atmosphere. We ate at the recommended Baumeisterhaus and had excellent jagerschnitzel - which was surprisingly difficult to find in Munich itself.

Beautiful Rothenburg & a lovely tour guide! - Amazing day trip! Loved every place we visited but what made it extra special was our tour guide Irmgard. Such a knowledgeable, fun and sweet lady! She made us feel super welcomed and gave us lots of information during the bus ride and at the site. She also acknowledged all our nationalities, and communicated with me in my native tongue- Spanish- even though this was not a requirement since it was an all English tour. This made me feel super special :) My fiance and I really appreciated all her help and kind personality… I’m including a picture of the three of us im beautiful Rothenburg ❣️ It was a perfect day with a little bit of everything: romance, christmas, spice and everything nice!!!

Medieval town preserved. - Rothenburg was so lovely to see in person. It was worth the drive to see the original medieval little town. This town was one of the few that was not decimated in WWII. Everything there was original and buildings and the keep all in pristine condition. Definitely worth the trip.

Castles and Cobblestones - Aloha, We had an absolutely magical day on our day tour to the Romantic Road, Harburg Castle and the Medieval town of Rothenburg. It snowed during our visit, which made the experience more enchanting, the vibrant colors of the towns looked incredible against the white snow made it a photographer’s and took so many beautiful photos. Our guide, Hanae, was awesome! She was so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves the whole time. Our driver was excellent and kept us safe on the long journey from Munich. We highly recommend this tour if you want a fairytale experience. Mahalo! L and L Travels with Aloha

Beautiful Bavarian Escape - Highly Recommended - This excursion was a great way to see the Bavarian countryside. Our driver, Dragan, was very professional and ensured the trip was smooth and efficient. Our guide, Hanae, was fabulous. She was engaging and provided plenty of interesting information about the locations we visited, ensuring the day felt well-paced and informative. She also gave us a restaurant recommendation that was both very good and affordable, which we really appreciated. To top it off, she even gave us helpful suggestions for things to do during the rest of our time in Munich. Rothenburg and Harburg are stunning towns and well worth the visit. Overall, a wonderful experience with a great team!

Long day but lovely trip - Harburg castle was really impressive but it really is a flying visit. Was there an hour tops. The tour guides here were very friendly and provided information with humour. Rothenburg was also very lovely, your basically left to your own devises there which isn’t a negative, you’re given a map to get yourself around. A trip to the Christmas shop is a must!

Good but felt rushed - The experience was good, but the tour guide is very talkative and she did make one racial comment to a couple that was late getting back to the bus for departure based off of them being Spanish-speaking. The tour also felt rushed.
