Amazing!

This was a nice tour. We enjoyed the stop at Harburg Castle with the tour. Everyone on our tour took it - I am not quite sure why the tour itself doesn't cost the extra and have it be included (they collected money via card on the bus). It was a lovely day and a rainbow came out! Along the way, we learned a bit about the towns we went past and their history. At Rothenburg, we had free time to explore after an explanation of the town. The negative of going in the winter is that much is closed - not many stores are open. This wasn't mentioned in the description, which would have been nice to know ahead. There are a few museums and time to walk through the town and explore. It was nice to just have free time in Rothenburg. The guide was clear about timing and when to meet up for the rides. We enjoyed this trip overall!

We had a fabulous trip which began in Munich. We visited Harburg Castle, Rothenburg and so much more. We loved Rothenburg and loved exploring the town and sampling the local produce, visiting Romantic Road and all on offer. What a beautiful place to see. We also loved our tour of Harburg Castle. So incredible. Go see it for yourself. You must do!

Nice little road trip from Munich to Rothenberg with a quick stop at the Harburg castle. We had great guide who kept pointing out the important sites and their history on our drive there and back. The guided tour within the Harburg castle was also very interesting and would definitely recommend doing it (admission fee to the castle is not included in the price and will be payment on the bus via card). Rothenberg was pretty little town and we got to spend 3ish hours there the guide had some good recommendations for lunch as well as snacks. The drive back from Rothenberg to Munich is 3 hours I definitely would recommend packing headphones for this.
