The entire trip was great. Our guide Monica was a great narrator with historical information, fun facts and friendly delivery. The castles were amazing and the story of King Ludwig has had me researching today for more information!

When we got with our guide we were told it was 300 steps up. If we started we could not go back to exit. This was at Neuschwanstein. It would be a good idea to list things like this in your description of the tour. My husband went in and I stayed out.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Ludwig II, the man who built the castles we visited today. Enjoyed her way of explaining and exploring his life. She also pointed out many other details as we traveled through the area. Our driver and host was wonderful. He had a fun personality and added positively to the experience. I only have two negative thoughts on our tour yesterday. 1) We were told to be there 20 minutes early, that our bus would leave at 0830, so our family decided to meet at 0810 in front of the bus terminal. My husband and I got there at 0750. At 0805, we had boarded the bus and they told us they were leaving. We pointed out that the tickets stated they would leave at 0830 and our other family member hadn’t arrived yet. They told us he could get on another bus and we would meet up later in the day. The point was to take this expensive tour TOGETHER. My husband and I decided to split up to make sure our son made it onto the correct bus. Anyway, it was rather messy so I would suggest you get there, not 20 minutes early as La Vacanza Travel asks in their literature, but at least 30 minutes before the stated tour time listed on your tickets. 2) We spent some time in Obermmergau (sp?) but it was a very short stop. We only had time to look at some handcarved wood items (impressive!) that the tour company suggested and grab an ice cream cone. It would’ve been nice to add another 30-45 minutes in that cute little town to walk around and see the painted homes, stop in a few more shops and have time to visit the restrooms. All in all, we had a great time, I just thought the tour’s timing was off in a few things, including the Neuschweinstein Castle tour. The tickets were for a specific time that we had to wait almost two hours to get in, but then if we didn’t make a beeline for the bus afterwards, they told us we would be left. So we waited and waited for our specific time to get into the castle but then literally needed to run uphill and downhill (a long way and a feat for those who are not in great shape) to make it time for the bus’ departure. ****La Vacanza Travel states to not take this tour if you are physically unable-PLEASE PAY ATTENTION to this! My husband has had health issues the last 15 years of his life and I was truly afraid something major was going to happen as we were heading back to the bus, he was SO out of breath and unable to walk at the pace needed, the color drained out of his face. He should not have gone on this tour! He insisted anyway and paid greatly for that decision.

We (three adults) did this day trip from Munich. Our guide, Debbie, was full of excellent information and had a great sense of humour. She made sure we had all the info we needed at each stop and gave us very clear details for timelines/meeting points. Jordan, the driver, was great as well and got us to our destinations safely and efficiently. The castles were absolutely beautiful and did not disappoint! The only way it could have been better is if we were allowed to take pictures inside (obviously not any fault of the tour).

Good tour, but too long. Way too much time spent looking at extra areas, like towns with the Passion Play. Why! Neuschwanstien Castle was worth the wait to see. But leave Munich at 8:30 am and visit castle at 3:10 pm ?? Then hurry back to Munich. La Vacanza Travel needs to review this tour. Or offer a shorter version.
