2.Romantic Road, Rothenburg, and Harburg Day Tour from Munich

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,376 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $95

Munich to Harburg Castle and fairytale Rothenburg on the Romantic Road. Air-conditioned bus, guided stops, free time to explore, $95.

“This tour was okay. There were 60 people on our bus. Bathroom on bus but no for or drinks available but you can bring your own. The castle is interesting 45 minute tour. It’s an extra $10Eu in cash. Not much to do if you don’t do the tour. The medieval, Rothenburg town is interesting but you will only have about 2-2.5 hours. Roman wall and picturesque shops/buildings. Much of this tour is riding in a bus. There were technical difficulties our guide had… not really her fault that translation phones didn’t work, credit card machine was out of battery and a stop along the highway due to a bus…”

Spend a long day with a guide in medieval Rothenburg from Frankfurt, with transfers included plus admission to St. Jacob’s or a museum.

“Well the tour was cancelled due to the lack of customers for the tour; however, I was offered a different tour to Heidelberg and Rothenburg instead. It was pretty cool seeing all the sites and fellow travelers and football fans. The tour guide Thomas was great and funny. Just for information (I didn’t know this at the time), but Frankfurt’s tour season kinda of ends prior to the end of October. The reason for a brief continuation of tours were due mainly of the NFL games being played in consecutive weeks in Frankfurt. Almost all the people on the tour were football fans from KC or Miami.”

11.Heidelberg and Rothenburg Guided Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 14 reviews · 9h 30m · from $324

Small-group guided day trip from Frankfurt to Heidelberg Castle and Rothenburg ob der Tauber, with medieval walks, churches, and museums.

“Michael was an absolute treasure! He is so obviously passionate about history and telling the story of his country. He tailored the tour to our taste (aka lots of history and geeking out over the details in the castle’s architecture). The tour allowed for education and then free time to see different sections of the castle. Take his advice and only spend a short time in downtown Heidelberg, you’ll want the full time in Rothenburg. If you were on the fence, book this trip it is well worth the drive. We are already planning another trip back. Thank you, Michael we are so grateful we met you!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 1 day · from $648

Private guided day trip from Munich along the Romantic Road to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, with Dinkelsbühl and Zugspitze views.

“This Romantic Road tour was more than we could have expected. It was absolutely amazing and Mario was the absolute best tour guide and host. His van was very comfortable with tons of head room. He recommended stops at a small castle, and a couple of quaint Medieval towns before our Rothenburg stop. He took photos of us and gave us a bunch of history and went above and beyond for every request we had. He was funny and such a nice, genuine person, he absolutely made our trip better by having him around. I would highly recommend Mario and this tour to anyone looking to book!”
