    Great tour all around. Car was super comfy, everything was well-organized and Jake's knowledge and passion for travel, history, the region and the castle specifically were impressive. Very engaging - even for a family with three teens. Great lunch following the tour and the perfect beer garden recommendation to wrap up a full day.

    Jake was great. He was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. He told us in a very engaging fashion the history of the king who built Neuschwanstein and the mystery of his passing. Later he took us to a great place to eat, which we probably would have never found on our own. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.
