Wonderful tour by a knowledgeable guide before the castle tour! He had obviously done his research and was able to add more, and more historically accurate, details. Lots of "fun" facts, too (I had no idea what BMW stood for or why the logo looks looks like it does. I do now!). He knows all the best spots for pictures and the best times to get them in before the next tour groups arrive. Skipping the line for the castle tour tickets was a real plus. Highly recommend!

We did an excellent tour with our guide Paul. We are glad that we did it. He is an excellent knowledgeable guide, very caring and a lovely person. We visited St. Peter's Church, Platzl an der Orlandostrasse, Bayerische Staatsoper, U-Bahn to Odeonsplatz etc with him.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.

10. From Munich: Castle Hohenschwangau by train with small group

Munich Central Station, Bayerstraße 10A, 80335 München, Germany Paul Riedel

This 12th-century castle has a long history and was also partially used by King Ludwig II. Since over 5.000 people visit the region for its amazing castles you need reservations. I take care of the tickets giving you a skip-the-line, which is really necessary when visiting the region. This tour will give you a full background to King Ludwig's life and his tragic and mysterious death. We have enough time for lunch and time to collect perfect pictures, making your visit an unforgettable experience. The visit outside the castle is part of the tour. Corona Restrictions: The ticket to enter the castle must be reserved at least 15 days before your trip. I cannot guarantee for tickets if not reserved before, because the number of visitors inside the castle is extremely reduced. Reservation for the castle tickets must be done at least 30 Days in advance. I cannot guarantee for the ticket if not reserved, but you may cancel free of charges, if there is no ticket available anymore.

Inclusions: Museum and Castle Reservation, Restroom on board

Exclusions: Gratuities, Ticket for Castle and/or Museum are to be paid to the guide separetly
