“Alberto was a very informative tour guide. I learnt so much on the trip that I didn’t know about Bavaria and Germany. You can see that he is truly passionate about his work, history and knowledge of everything. Really enjoyed all the aspects of the tour with him being the guide.

Also there is no student concessions unfortunately. Sadly, in the castles you are not allowed to take photos.”
