Too much travelling by train in one day and a change to the start time of the return journey from 9.30 to 7.30 made this holiday stressful. The main hotel we stayed in had no real idea how to cater for vegetarians so we found the food disappointing. On the plus side the visit to the Passion Play at Oberammergau made the holiday worthwhile, as did the visit to Neuschwanstein Castle.

Well organised and good variety of tours and experiences. Obviously the Passion Play was a highlight. We wouldn’t have considered Bavaria we’re or not for the play feature. We’d recommend this area spine as it was so beautiful, clean, picturesque and beautiful.

Aged eighty, the C19-postponed booking for this once-in-a-lifetime journey stayed in the background through all the ups and downs of the last years, knowing that GRJ would somehow keep faith, and their promise, to get us to the Passion Play in 2022. Physically, it was absolutely as demanding as I expected, but everything that could be done for our security and comfort in the post-Brexit world was dealt with by our remarkable tour guide, whose calm, efficiency and kindness in the face of rail disruption, unexpected delays [including my own last-minute arrival for an urgent bus departure] and the sheer novelty of being able to travel for pleasure, were with us all the way.
