The tour was interesting, but not anough time for each place that we stopped.. I would prefer to skip 30min stop at Oberammergau town, and add 15min to other 2 stopes at Linderhof palace and Neuschwanstein castle.. As we were always running for the time to be in the bus at axact time, and did not have anough time for souvenirs shops, also we had no lunch, as spend about 25 min in the queue for the Castle Bridge, just to make nice photos with magnificent view.. At Neuschwanstein Castle, after the castle tour, next to souvenir shop, at the coffee shop we found a magnificent smell of local soup, but couldn't buy and try it, as we had left 20 min before bus departure, and had to really run for it, and it was very stressful!!! So, my recommendation- to give us more recommendation about bridge, queue for it, shopping, and give more time after the tour at Neuschwanstein castel, so people could have chance to watch a video at the castel, have food in it and enjoy the walk down to the bus..

The tour was very rushed and the guide kept on scaring us about being late (he mentions this 10000x throughout the trip). At every stop we couldn’t relax as we had to keep track of time and even RUN to the bus after every castle tour since we had a tight deadline. It was nice to see castles in real life but the experience is not good and relaxing at all.

Very happy with this tour. The two castles were amazing and the views of the Alpes and the Bavarian region stunning. The bus was comfortable and we were lucky with the weather. Sunny and clear sky. If you are used to walk then the Castle is not a hard walk. Just need to check your timing to make sure u can do it all. That's in any tour. The views from the bridge and around the castle, all worth to see. The guide was friendly and patience. Definitely would recommend it if you don't know this region yet.
