Our family of four absolutely loved our day with Karl. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible while still keeping us on schedule without feeling rushed at all. He made great suggestions for lunch/food, shopping, and activities for free time in Rothenburg, and he seemed to really enjoy showing us around in general. We finished the tour having a much deeper understanding of the Bavarian area especially with the Nuremberg add on. The day went by so quickly. I highly recommend this tour.
We had a great day with Karl! The sites were beautiful and he meshed beautifully with our family. Karl was full of info and fun!
Our guide, Karl, was patient and kind. We opted to add on the Harberg Castle tour and Nuremberg which made for an extremely long day and probably decreased the time we spent in the towns. I highly recommend the Harberg Castle tour. It was definitely a highlight. Read up on the history of the towns before you go, so you have good context.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review in which you shared your personal impressions. We are very pleased that you — like many other participants on our tours — were so satisfied with your guide Karl and our tour concept, especially the exclusive 45-minute private tour in Harburg Castle. Please allow me to comment on your expression 'an extremely long day and probably decreased the time we spent in the towns' as follows: We offer all our tours with 2 tour lengths (9.5 and 11 hours). If you would also like to visit Nuremberg, this is also possible with 2 time options (for an additional charge, see tour description): Option 'a': The tour length you booked will not be exceeded. Option 'b': You receive 1 extra hour additionally. So you see, our valued customers can always decide for themselves regarding the length of this tour and thus the time available for sightseeing in the individual towns. Furthermore: To "have good context", it is not necessary to "read up on the history of the towns before you go", as you will receive this (and many more) information from our professional and experienced guides, as can be seen from past reviews, which have all been rated 5***** The entire SIGHTSEEING BAVARIA EXCLUSIVE team (including me, Stefan, the owner) would be happy to welcome you back as our guests soon!
Fantastic day with Stefan in spite of the rain! He came prepared with umbrellas just in case and his personality was the sunshine on a dreary day! Would definitely recommend!
Outstanding guide would recommend him 100% to everyone knowledgeable and professional. Great human being!!
I wish I could give this tour more than 5 stars! Our guide Thomas was spectacular! The tour was tailored to our desires and we were never rushed. Thomas was a wealth of information and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. His recommendation for lunch was fabulous. I highly recommend this tour !
We had a fantastic day on the Romantic Road, leading up to Rothenburg. Karl was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We purchased tickets to go into Harburg Castle and enjoyed the English language guided tour, would recommend for this tour.
Amazing tour with Maria! Very courteous and kind. My day ended up with just me and her, so I was thankful when she took the time to point out certain things to see, where to eat etc. this company was the best. In fact, I arranged another private tour with them and looking forward to that one. Customer service was above and beyond expectations! This is a tour company you don’t want to miss out on.
Karl was a friendly engaging guide and went out of his way to make places accessible for me as I was in a wheelchair from too much walking on other tours. The castle was fascinating and the small towns unique. Karl customized the things we saw and time spent according to our interests and stamina. Highly recommend him as a guide.
We had a great time. Maximilian was a knowledgeable guide and we appreciated his flexibility to gear some of the activities to our needs. Always providing options. Stephan, the owner, was also very responsive and communicative so I felt the trip worked very well. It was a long but great day
