“There is nothing I would change about this trip. Driver, local experts and our tour director, Eric, were excellent. Very good accommodation. The itinerary was well planned. I particularly recommend the group dinners, both included and optional. Good food, good company, lots of drinks, and often with entertainment. Neuwanstein and Eagle’s Nest were highlights.”
