Two thumbs up!

They worked with the time we requested. Christian was our driver. He was on time, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We saw both Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein castles. He even made a reservation for us for lunch. It was hot during the day and all the up and down got us tired. But overall, a great day!

A magical day!

What an incredible day! First, Stefan meets you with a warm and welcoming smile and spirit. He’s knowledgeable and so friendly, we stopped a few places along the way, including an incredible old church in a small village that was beautiful. The castle is incredible, his recommendation for lunch was a nice spot, and the palace is beautiful with gardens and fountains. Each one is in a unique and beautiful setting. The day was long, but certainly worth it!
