Review of Radius Tours’ Dachau Memorial half-day trip from Munich, with train and bus travel, sensitive guiding, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“This was an incredibly moving experience and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Germany. Patricia was an amazing guide! She quickly and efficiently got us to and from Dachau, was great at communicating where and when we needed to be somewhere, and did a fantastic job at pacing within the memorial site. I felt like she cared deeply about the subject matter, which is so important during such a heavy experience. If you get Patricia as your guide, you’ll be in good hands!”

Ride from Munich through Bavarian villages to Neuschwanstein, Wieskirche, and a mountain cheese farm in a comfortable small-group van.
“We very much enjoyed our trip with Tom. We were contacted the day before with a pick-up time and picked up promptly on the morning of the trip. At the stops before the castle, our guide showed us some local attractions and a few places to get breakfast, coffee, and sweet treats. Handy, as we had not eaten beforehand. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure every part of the trip was fun and informative. He spoke perfect English and was happy to answer questions. Finally, the stop at the cheese farm was probably our highlight. Highly recommend this one!”

Review of the Nuremberg day trip from Munich by regional train, covering medieval sights, Nazi Rally Grounds, guides, pace, cost, and practical tips.
“Overall average trip as it was too hectic and we felt rushed from one place to the next. We didn’t have free time to explore the market place on our own. On hindsight, we should have just chosen the Old Town Nuremberg and have the rest of afternoon exploring the town on our own. On the positive side, our guide Akim provided great information and was engaging.”
Visit Linderhof and Neuschwanstein from Munich in one day, with castle tickets, a comfortable VIP coach, snacks, drinks, and expert guiding.
“Very Disappointed…. Take care booking the VIP tour, 2 days prior I was contacted by the company saying VIP was unavailable and put onto the regular coach. Some refund was provided but we still paid more than others on the tour for a front seat and drinks / snacks. The castle group tours were overcrowded and difficult to see the features in the room as people were jammed in and could not see around them. Also be aware most outside statues were boarded over to protect during the winter snow period. Bus tour guide provided good information but I would spend my money on another tour if given the opportunity.”
Review of the Munich to Nuremberg train day trip, covering medieval sights, Nazi rally grounds, guides, walking, price, and practical tips.
