Jackie was an awesome and entertaining your guide! Usually I am so bored in tours but she always kept me on my toes. Philip the driver was very sweet and accommodating and makes a very good mulled wine!

Great trip to explore the castles outside of Munich. The 1.5-2 hr bus ride doesn’t even feel long because how beautiful the landscape is. Just make sure you are able to walk 30-40 minutes uphill before booking this trip because that is a requirement to get to the main castle. Worth the day trip forsure.
