This tour seemed costly at first, however, the peace of mind of having a guide and the tickets taken care of was well worth the price! Matthew helped make our time in Fussen so enjoyable! He was easy to communicate with prior to our tour and during the tour. He was very informative and well spoken. His van accommodated the 5 of us comfortably. You can tell that he loves his town and knows so much about it! I would highly recommend this tour and if you can request Matthew you won't be disappointed! Thank you again!

My husband and I had the most amazing time in Bavaria. This was certainly the trip of a lifetime and Astrid and her team exceeded our expectations. Our tour guides, Julia, Sandro and Matt, were very attentive, knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service. The accommodations were top notch from the beautiful scenery to the wonderful breakfast buffet. We enjoyed so many aspects of the trip it's hard to pinpoint favorite spots. We loved seeing the different castles, learning more about the region and visiting different sized Christmas Markets. I would highly recommend not only Astrid's tour company, but this trip in particular. Thank you so very much for making my first trip to Europe such a special one. Hopefully it's the first trip of many to come. With warm regards, Amy and Gabe

We loved our Castles and Christmas Markets tour! The guides were very skilled - clear communication, helpful local knowledge, and pleasant. The itinerary was just right. We often had 2-3 activities per day with plenty of free time. We stayed in one comfortable location which was handy. Note that some of the locations are an hour or so away, so there is the necessary transportation time. Speaking of transportation, we were in 3 comfortable vans - not one coach bus. We appreciated that very much! We would recommend this company to anyone wanting to immerse yourself in what ever location you choose from their offerings.

It was part of our dream trip in late September 2024. Matheus our guide was very friendly, informative, interactive, and made us very comfortable throughout this spectacular journey. We are also thankful to his Manager that our last-minute changes were nicely accepted and well-managed. We started the day visiting the Neuschwanstein a real-life fairytale Castle which was an unforgettable experience (must recommend the horse carriage ride for a great experience while returning from the castle). Then he drove us through scenic Bavarian country sides including beautiful turquoise blue Lake Plansee with the serenity of the mountains in the background. We were 4 of us (inc. one young kid and an elderly person) but we did not feel any trouble with walking as he gave us personalized attention and never rushed us to anything. We also enjoyed the splendid lavishness of the Linderhof Palace built by King Ludwig II, loved being able to walk around and explored the village of Oberammergau, tried local delicacy and finally enjoyed the stunning rococo interior of Wieskirche. The whole trip was well organized, timely and we had a wonderful autumn day exploring various country sites. We definitely recommend this trip with Matheus in European Castles Tours to everyone.

The tour was wonderful! We really enjoyed the different scenery views and the tours. Our tour guide was amazing. The only thing is this is not light walking. We would call it moderate because there are many many stairs and hills to walk. Still, it was worth every minute. Our tour guide Matheus was so wonderful and drove us through beautiful land and took us to the prettiest town in Bavaria . He did not rush us and we received a whole days experience we will never forget. It was a great day we will use Viator again.
