“Overall, Fantastic trip! Meeting place was really easy to find, very close to a couple of subway exits. Large signs to let you know which bus to board and you are greeted by the guide. Guide was very knowledgeable and would gave us a clear itinerary while we rode to our destinations. As far as the castles, two very different experiences and both were definitely worth visiting. Linderhof experience was extra special because we were given time to dine and enjoy the town.”

The only thing I would say is that on the return journey, we ended up sitting on the bottom deck at the back where there is a film over the windows making the view out very fuzzy so you’re unable to take any photos or actually see any of the amazing buildings. This is not a great idea when using this type of bus for a sightseeing tour!”
