Stunning tour with a great guide! - Our travel agent arranged this tour for us, I was unsure how it would be given the cost but we all agreed afterwards it was worth it. We had a wonderful experience with Bruce. Our group was my husband and I, our 2 children under 5 and my mum in her 60’s. Bruce was knowledgeable and had a lot of information on every location but he was also very easy to get along with and the kids loved him. It didn’t feel like a long day as being in a private car you can stop when needed. May was a great time to visit as the crowds were minimal. If you do this tour I highly recommend requesting Bruce as your guide!!

Amazing NEUSCHWANSTEIN Castle tour with Bruce - Ask for Bruce!! He was a fabulous tour guide. He provided historical facts about each site we visited and additional information throughout the trip to help us learn more about the area. He shared folklore about the Kings, queens, parish and people. I highly recommend booking your trip with him. ,

A perfect day at Neuschwanstein, Oberammergau, and Linderhof - We had a perfect day with Sandro! I would recommend European castles tours to anyone! It is difficult to get tickets to tour Neuschwanstein, but our experience was seamless. Sandro was very knowledgeable and is clearly well-liked by everyone we met along the way. We also had a terrific time in Oberammergau and at Linderhof Castle. This tour was worth every penny.

Wonderful Winter Bavarian Castle Experience - Allesandro was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and courteous. He has extensive knowledge of the area and well beyond. He shared information about the sights we were seeing, gave excellent recommendations and shared his knowledge of his entire country’s history, culture and politics. A seamless and comprehensive tour which felt personable and well researched. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Perfect Way to End Our Trip - We had an amazing day with Sandro! He was very informative and kept us all on schedule so we were sure to see everything. The castles were fantastic and our whole family enjoyed this day trip. The countryside was beautiful and we liked having a driver so we didn't miss the amazing scenery. He gave us a lot of history of Bavaria and its Kings. He recommended a great place for lunch in Oberammergau. He even made sure we had some extra time at the end of the day for our kids to play in the snow at the last stop. We had been on a river cruise and stayed a few extra days in Munich so this was our last day of our vacation. It was the perfect way to end it. Sandro even went above and beyond helping us reclaim our luggage that had been lost for 10 days from the airline. We mentioned that we had been trying to get our bags that we tracked to Munich airport and he called a friend to help us. He sent messages all day to his friend while we were touring and they were able to find our bags for us before we flew home the next day. We had been trying for 10 days without any luck.

I highly recommend the... - I highly recommend the private tour of the Neuschwanstein and Linderhof palaces. We were picked up on time and driven in warm comfort with an informative guide in Martin. Getting into the palaces was easy and Martin gave us plenty of time at each location for the tours and taking photos. He also took some fabulous photos for us. We would definitely do this tour again.
