Well paced and informative. Lovely views of the town and castle. Highly recommended. Great tour guide, Beatrix and also our safe driver (on EDAK41) on 22 July 2025 as well as Harbug guide Luke.
The castle’s stories and Rothenburg’s charm kept us captivated. We were given sufficient free time in Rothenburg for personal exploration and shopping.
Abit rush, given only 3 hours, including lunch, in Rothenberg. Would be good if more time given to explore the place.
Harburg Castle tour was to the point. The guide provided short but specific information to keep us engaged. Rothenburg was of course the highlight. Picturesque. Wish we had a little more time to explore.
The castle guided tour was insightful, but not enough time for us to explore on our own. The tour ended at 11.10am, and we were expected to be in the bus at 11.15am. It took at least 5-10 mins to get down from the castle to the parking lot. Guide did not cater enough time for the group to relieve ourselves in the toilet, and we were “blamed” for being not punctual. This sarcasm continues throughout the bus tour. The rothenburg guided walking tour was not bad, and sufficient time were catered for it. Good weather on the day we visited, but do note that the bus journey will take 3hours from rothenburg to Munich one way.
