Enjoyable trip overall. The hotel is in a good location to visit the area, and in a small and pleasant town.

The tour was very well run by the Tour Manager. The hotel was a very good choice, the food being of an excellent standard. We thoroughly enjoyed the included excursions to Lindau, Neuschwanstein and Rothenburg, being very fortunate with the weather all week. The climax of the week was the guided tour round Rothenburg. A place we would return to, as there is so much to view and the atmosphere within the walls is something we will always remember.

The towns visited were interesting and the transport to the towns and back to our hotel each day was good. The visit to Neuschwanstein castle was the highlight of the trip for me. Our tour manager was excellent and looked after us extremely well. The only part of the tour I did not enjoy was the standard class train travel from the UK and back again. The seating was uncomfortable with very little leg room if seated at a table for four, which I was. I also felt that 40 of us was too much; a smaller group size would have been better. It took ages getting us on and off trains with luggage.
