What an amazing tour!! Cannot recommend... - <p>What an amazing tour!! Cannot recommend enough. My two cents: take the optional bike tour instead of the second castle. The photos you will obtain from the bike ride will be well worth it. The tour guides were so smart, and funny, and made sure everyone was taken care of. Do not hesitate to book this tour.</p>

I opted to do the bike tour instead of the Hohenschwangau castle tour with the Neuschwanstein castle tour. That was very fun. Even got to witness a marriage proposal at the foot of the Alps! Made the decision to HIKE the distance up the mountain to the castle...in the rain! Definitely not for the out of shape...but, I finally made it up! No visit to Munich is complete without this tour. I learned a LOT about beautiful Bavaria, and enjoyed experiencing the Autobahn.</p>

Also, thank you to the wonderful bus driver who picked up travel goodies for us :- From the history lesson and the side bar's, these guys know what they're talking about. The bike ride was perfect activity after the bus ride. For those concerned about walking up the hill, it's doable for most everyone, it just might take some people a little longer than others. </p>
<p>I had an amazing time. I just wish I had more time in Munich so I could have participated in the other tours offered by Mike's Bikes.</p>

The castles were really cool. The guys were able to explain German custom and the best place to get any souvenirs and food. Thank you to our two guides</p>

Our tour guide from the previous day said to definitely do the bike ride instead of seeing Hohenschwangau. My wife and I were planning on doing the bike ride anyways, but his recommendation was definitely correct. The view of the castles from the bike ride are exceptional!!! The restaurant that we had lunch at was very good as well. If you are in the Munich area this trip is a must do.</p>

Although we were very disappointed, the day we did have was lovely. Our tour guide was brilliant and the sights are well worth a visit.</p>
