James and Lachlan were fantastic all day and had their plates full with a large group of teenagers who were also on this trip. They never lost their good humour and were helpful and attentive in every way.

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide Tyler was very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable of the area and the history. The bike ride and the lake swim was an amazing experience before seeing the castle itself.

One of the best daytime ive had. Tyler was superb at looking after the group. cycling was fun, not strenuous and on flat enabling it for many and guide looked after the few crossings well to make sure everyone got over well. Swimming was divine - water was warm, prob around 20 degrees and the spot was great with a kiosk near by to buy hot chocolate or Radlers. the hike up the castle was most physical activity but bus is an option for those unable to hike steep incline. but oh boy, how ever you get up, the views are worth it and the castle is just magical. tour was good too, learnt a lot and time flew past quickly. all went really well, enjoyed myself and have already recommended Mike's bike tours for people who don't even have flight tickets to Munchen booked (yet).
