Really enjoyed the driver Mío and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Harburg castle with a local guide was very informative and fun, not Neuschwanstein but nice to see different style. Rothenburg is really worth it- 3 hours of your own time ( it goes fast so have a plan)- the city, St James church and the Christmas museum had us right at the last minute. Main complaint is fellow American travelers that are so embarrassing- read the details/ everything you complain about was in the description… duh!?!? Yes, cash means Euros not dollars- are you really that unaware…? Anyway , great tour!!

We had a great visit to the Linderhof palace and the Neuschwanstein castle with the guide Deyse. She gave us explanations throughout the trip, good tips for Munich by the end of the day. She was always willing to help and to say the spots we couldn't miss in order to have the best pics. Totally recommend.

Tour was good and Melanie was an excellent guide. If you have the time this is a great trip to take

Melanie was a great guide and the trip was great. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Munich with a day to spare.

We had a great time touring Linderhof and Neuschwanstein castles. The bus was very luxurious. Drinks and snacks were offered constantly. The tour guide, Steveo, was knowledgeable and very friendly. Overall, it was a great tour.

Absolutely incredible— a MUST see! Tour bus was very comfortable and everything ran exactly on schedule. I would do it again in a heartbeat— the castle views are like a fairytale! I took off 1 star because our tour guide literally NEVER stopped talking for hours on end. We were all so exhausted at the end of the day and nobody could sleep on the way home because he wouldn’t stop talking. He was very kind and very helpful, but I could tell the entire bus felt the same way.

We had a fantastic day with Monika. Everything felt so calm and at ease. I've been on other big bus tours that felt like we were always in a rush, but this felt really relaxed and we packed so much into the day. Monika is so knowledgeable! We learnt so much and saw so much beautiful countryside. Everything was timed perfectly, I didn't feel like I missed out on anything.

Monika was our guide, she was Brilliant. She gave us great insights throughout our journey to each destination. She was very thorough and explained the tour very well. The countryside views were breathtaking and the castles equally so. This was a bucket list ticket off for me and it exceeded my expectations, this was a memory I'll cherish forever with my wife.

Bus was clean and comfortable. Phillips our guide was excellent and made sure we all understood what was happening each step of the way. Views were amazing. One criticism is that not enough time was allocated to return to the bus after the conclusion of the tour ( you’re on your own at that point). Prepare for a LOT of walking and stairs. Recommended.

This tour was absolutely worth it in every sense! The bus was easy to find, the boarding was so quick, and it was an incredibly comfortable ride! The availability of snacks and drinks was also a major plus. Monika, our guide was such a pleasure to listen to and learn from. I came into this trip with no real background information on what we were seeing but because of her I feel like I learned so much and really got as much as I could out of each stop. Finally, as a solo traveler, I was slightly nervous but between the comfort of the trip, the guide, and the amazing people I met on the bus, I just had the BEST day!

Re: GUIDE REVIEW: MALVINA Neuschwanstein tour with Oberbayrn 23 Sept2023: Guide Malvina was excellent in ALL the aspects of guiding: knowledge of history, repeating important procedures, anticipating questions that clients might have, patience with difficult and nagging travellers, clear& well spoken English, etc. I wish more guides be like Malvina. Thank you, Regards, Wyn

Beautiful bus ride to the countryside to visit Rothenburg, a city captured in its medieval past. Loaded with tourists on a bright, sunny Sunday. Despite the crowds, worth a visit for its array of cafes, shops, photo taking and the wonderful Christmas museum with an incredible store. My one complaint is that the tour guide was not equipped with handheld hearing devices that we really needed to hear her instructions and descriptions. With a low voice, she needed better training in presenting on a bus tour, especially for older hearing-challenged passengers. But overall it was a lovely experience.

We went on this tour with Greyline and I’ll try to separate the trip from the tour guide as I realize there may be some cultural bias there. Both Salzburg and the Lake District were beautiful but Salzburg is a 1/2 to full day trip by itself if you want to actually see/do anything. We had about two hours to explore on our own bc the first stop was at the WC (despite having one on the bus and it only being a two hour drive) and that took forever. My recommendation if you use this vendor, is to get the time you need to be back on the bus and book it out of there. Map the one or two things you want to see and abandon your group - our guide didn’t tell us anything useful outside of the word “salary” comes from the Latin word for salt because that’s how people used to pay - Salzburg, therefore, was a rich city. The Lake District was also beautiful - the 1000 year old cathedral is a must see and the recorded tour on the boat was interesting and informative. It was the most guided narrative we had on the whole trip. We had 30 or so minutes to explore on land and then the boat before being rushed back onto the bus. Here’s what I wish I had know going in: *the pick up point is vague - ie G or H, there will be a lot of tour busses and yours may or may not have a sign. You’ll have to ask the drivers and you may have to cross the underground tunnel to get to the correct side. *eat before or bring something with you, the restaurants in the area are not open that early *rain does not cancel your trip, you won’t know if the trip is cancelled for inclement weather - you just show up and hope for the best bc the greyline vendor will not respond to your inquiry. *preplan your time, figure it out before you get there and map it in your phone. *if you’re in love, consider bringing a lock for the bridge of love *bring 15 euro for the boat ride - you cannot pay with a card (no matter what the website says) and if you don’t pay you are going to be stuck on the bus for an hour or so…you don’t get to explore the town, you hang out with Dragon. *SKIP THE TOUR, RENT A CAR, AND SPEND THE TIME THAT SALZBURG DESERVES. Now the guide, and note I did say I may be biased, was terrible. I’m American, if that helps. Arnoud (?) wasn’t friendly and not very informative. He complained about the traffic, and the construction, and the Sound of Music “freaks,” but gave very little useful information. Every stop was rushed. He literally almost got into a fight with another tour guide on the bridge. He was pretty unkind to the two ladies (who I don’t think had German or English as a first language) who didn’t have enough euros for the boat and didn’t understand that they would have to stay on the bus while everyone else explored the town and went on the boat. If I had to guess, arnoud was either having a very bad day or he truly hates his job. Perhaps he lost the round of rock, paper, scissors to see who led the English tour that day but sheeeeeesh, not our favorite.

We had a great time on our full day tour. Monika had lots of great facts and pointed us in the right directions. Time is limited on most stops to just enough time to get around the area, but this is needed to fit everything into the day. We would select this tour again!

It was an amazing day in Bavaria with Sven and our Bus driver. We were lucky with traffic and weather and had much fun on the bus. Thank you so much!
