Great day trip! - Courtney and Errol were great. We had a nice day tour of the castles and the small town of Oberammergau. Wish we had a bit more time at the town and a little less time at Linderhof but overall it was a great day trip and we loved the refreshments on board as well.

Must do this day trip! - Highly recommend. Annetta and Blaady were amazing. Our trip was flawless. We have done many tours with Viator and this adventure was exceptional all day. We learned so much, it was entertaining, educational and just a lot of fun. It gave us many reasons to return to Germany! Approaching our bus with the red carpet rolled out was a very nice touch! Made everyone feel special. The bus was immaculate, snacks were plentiful, bathroom on board! First rate! The Premium day trip is a must do. Annetta is a great guide, shared so many things of the area we did not know. The quick stop where the Passion Play takes place is just amazing at the dedication to this play from this town. We were couple traveling with adult son. Four or so children attended, may not be a good choice for children under 12.

Great time - Trip was great from start to finish. It was well organized and the guide as well as the driver made sure that every single participant was well taken care of. The guide spoke great English and was very knowledgeable about different areas we were driving through. Additionally, the drive was comfortable with endless snacks, coffee and tea which were available at the bar on the bus! VIP bus was top notch. Very happy with this trip! This trip was the highlight of our trip to Munich.

Good, but could be great. - This is a single level coach bus. Other tours are double decker. The tour said to be there no later than 8:30. We got there at 8:05, and we were the last ones on a full bus which was really confusing. There were four of us, my wife and our two kids. There were two seats together, a third nearby the first two, and one all the way in the back. I asked if there was another bus or if we could somehow sit together, and I was looked at like I had twelve heads, and promptly ignored. When we pulled out, a second empty bus pulled in and took the parking spot, they were following us throughout the day. Could've easily been managed, but tour manager just couldn't be bothered. 30 minutes in Oberamergau is still 30 minutes too short. I would rather have gotten back to Munich at 7/7:30 and spent 30 - 60minutes longer at multiple places and still would've been fine with an extra 10 Euro per person for that. Otherwise some small quibbles, but this is a better trip than the other double decker ones.

Unhappy cient due to guides poor organization - We had to wait quite awhile for members of our tour as the guide didn't realize that entrance ticket time was different.she had to take care of that issue but didn't let us know their entrance time was delayed as they had missed their schexued entrance. We rushed eating after the palace tour and raced back to the bus only to be told we had to wait about 45 more minutes for the others so we could have had a relaxing stay. I'm also very unhappy that we were not able to visit the grotto at Linderhof castle which was one of the primary reasons I booked the tour to include Lunderhof. I have never been on a tour where all the grounds are not included.

Beware - They left without us and no one picked up when we called five times. We were there on time and not a bus to be seen. When we finally found someone they could not care any less that the bus did not come for us. Horrible service
