Ample time given to explore and tours of the castle well organised. My tour guide was Monika and driver Vladi, both of which were truly awesome! I would recommend this trip from München. The Meeting Point is also central and very easy to find, right outside the Karlsplatz (Stachus) S-Bahn.”

Before the tour started we had around 1 hour to explore the museum and to use the on site food court. The only part that could possibly be improved is providing guests with selective language audio rather than all languages covered on the bus tour for a more leisurely journey.”
