Review of the Munich day tour to Neuschwanstein and Linderhof, with practical advice on price, walking, timing, transport, and tour options.

“It should be better known that you have to pay extra for tickets to enter the place (42€), ontop of what you already pay, and what you are then paying for is JUST transport in truth as both palaces have their own tour guide. However if you do want to do this trip going with a group is really the only and best way of doing it. The timing of the day was good, both palaces were worth seeing”

I received a confirmation message in the evening, and another one in the morning with all the details and our guide's contact information. Our guide, Rodica, was absolutely exceptional. She spoke perfect English, and her explanations were clear and easy to follow, even for non-native speakers. Her sense of humor and quick wit added so much fun to the experience! 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. It was such a treat to have someone…”

Review of the Blarney, Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle tour from Dublin, with practical advice on timing, value, steep steps and long bus rides.

“Great way to see some castles if you have limited time. It was like an hour wait to kiss the Blarney Stone, when we were here 18 years ago, there was no wait so we spent more time in the gardens. If you want to kiss the stone, don't go between May and September. Otherwise, nice relaxing tour, with lots of steps so if you are not very mobile, do not recommend.”
