“Absolutely amazing day trip to Bran Castle, Peleș Castle, and Brașov with our incredible guide, **Sonia**! From the very beginning, she was warm, engaging, and full of fascinating knowledge.

You could tell she is truly passionate about her job, she kept sharing interesting facts and stories, even on the way back, pointing out different monuments we passed.

Review of Munich’s Neuschwanstein and Linderhof day trip, with practical advice on costs, walking, timing, tickets, guides, and winter conditions.

“Alberto was a very informative tour guide. I learnt so much on the trip that I didn’t know about Bavaria and Germany. You can see that he is truly passionate about his work, history and knowledge of everything. Really enjoyed all the aspects of the tour with him being the guide. Although when I booked, I was not aware that the entry ticket prices were not included in the price so it was an additional fee to purchase the tickets of both the castles for 37€. Also there is no student concessions unfortunately. Sadly, in the castles you are not allowed to take photos.”
