Traveler Tips

  • "It states 8.30am start, but you will need to get to designated point at least 8am to get decent seats (or to sit together) as it is a very popular tour." See review
  • "The bus had to make detours due to work roads but it was worthwhile as the countryside and the farmlands are beautiful." See review
  • "It is a long day, however the tour around Rothenburg Castle is well worth the travelling, followed by the picturesque village of Harburg." See review

Long day in bus
Jawad_M
, May 2022
Rothenberg is amazing and there is enough time to enjoy the place. Harburg was not a wooow for me. The reason for the low rating is that out of the 10.5 hours we spent in this tour, around 6 hours were in the bus.

Climbing the church tower for a great view of Rothenburg! Marcus, our tour guide told us about the city and made sure we knew when and where to find the bus back. However, he failed to mention there was a bathroom on the bus and where to find restrooms in Rothenburg. Overall, a very enjoyable day!

Pretty German town

Nice town to visit for shopping and restaurants. It is a good 3 hour drive from Munich. The bus had some drinks for sale ( water was 2 euros) and the stop at the castle was short and sweet.

Beautiful town but a bit expensive for experience
Tim_R
, May 2022
Long ride but beautiful drive. Our tour guide did not engage with us alot so felt like a long drive. The cost of harburg castle on website said $8 when we got there it was ,$9. Could have shared more information on the ride and charging for a water or drink on bus was a little over the top after paying your own lunch and castle tour. Beautiful town. Glad we saw it just not an exceptional experience.

Good day out

Overall a good day, however I think on the way back from Rothenburg there should be a stop along the way. It was 3 hours sitting in a bus with no interaction. Paul was a great guide- couldn’t have asked for better. Such a good personality & very knowable.

Comfortable tour of the medieval ages - castle and town
Praisie_H
, Apr 2022
Harburg castle was a gem, you get to go onto the walls of the medieval castle and learn about history of this privately owned castle. Rothenburg ob der Tauber, went during the Easter long weekend so it was crowded. It's a lovely town. Good for those looking for the half-timbered fairy-tale houses look so typical of the medieval ages. The restaurant recommended by the guide had spargel (white asparagus) and it was great to try. All in all a comfortable tour with comfortable amount of walking.

Very comfortable bus ride to Rothenburg. We stopped at a fun and interesting castle in Harburg, which included a guided tour. Jackie, our tour guide, gave us wonderful insights all along the way on the Romantic Road to Rothenburg. The town of Rothenburg felt like we were transported back in time... it was quaint and picturesque!

Although it involves a lot of travel it is well worth it for the experience. Excellent driver and very comfortable coach. Harburg Castle is a bonus but Rothenburg is a gem. Such a beautiful town and also great places to eat and drink. Jaclyn is a friendly and knowledgeable host . Many Thanks.

Nice experience tour-operator way
Mireia_C
, Aug 2021
Nothing special, no added value: the typical well organized tourist formula bus+guide+herd of people following (in my case, luckily a smaller group because of the corona). Recommended if you have a day left in Munich and want to get a glimpse of the so called “Romantic Route”; it’s worth it.

Rothenburg
Anastasia_T
, Jul 2021
Too little time in Rothenburg. No guided tour in Rothenburg. I've ordered a Spanish audio guide. They didn't offer it during the tour. English is ok for me as well, so it didn't make much difference. However, in German-speaking groups, it might be a problem. Rothenburg is nice and unreachable without a car, so, I would recommend this excursion anyway.

We had a wonderful tour. I do not remember the name of the guide but he was half german and half french and he was just wonderful. Very informative, looked out for the other travelers when crossing busy streets, good information for food and very knowledgeable.
