This was honestly one of the best tours I have ever joined. Visiting Neuschwanstein Castle, Wieskirche, and Oberammergau all in one day was an amazing experience. The places themselves are beautiful and full of history, but what really made the trip special was our tour guide. He was super, super friendly, caring, and thoughtful throughout the whole day. He shared many interesting stories and was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. You could really feel that he was trying his best to give us the best experience possible. Everything was explained clearly and the guidance was excellent, so the whole trip felt very smooth and enjoyable. The car was also very comfortable, which made the journey even better. I truly loved this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Definitely a memorable experience.

The weekday activity had a group of 8 participants (excluding the guide, Xiao Zhu). The first stop was Oberammergau, where Xiao Zhu explained the history of the painted village, including the difficulty of preserving the murals, as not every homeowner is willing to spend a large sum of money to repair and preserve them. Next was the second stop, Wieskirche - you can go inside to visit, and the scenery outside is beautiful, you can see part of the Alps (the guide mentioned that the Alps are a very long mountain range). Then we arrived at Neuschwanstein Castle - first to a designated drop-off point, where you can eat and buy some souvenirs, and then choose one of three options (walk uphill, take the bus, or take a horse-drawn carriage). On the way up the mountain, you will see Hohenschwangau Castle (from a distance). Xiao Zhu had already explained the history before arriving. Then enter Neuschwanstein Castle (if your reservation time is a certain time, you can enter up to 30 minutes early). You can go in and take a look at the courtyard first, and then wait until the time comes to start the tour with your ticket. At the very beginning, you walk up the castle's spiral staircase all the way up, and then reach a fixed point. The screen will show that you cannot take photos or videos. Then tell the staff what language you want, and they will give you a guided tour device. After the tour, you will go to the souvenir shop (two in total, one of which you will reach after walking down). After visiting the entire route, you can choose to walk down or take a horse-drawn carriage down. After reaching the original drop-off point, it's time to return.

Tour guide Wang Haili is the best tour guide I've ever met. Her explanations were professional and detailed, and the content was lively and interesting. She not only assisted us on the day of the Neuschwanstein Castle tour but also gave us a lot of professional advice and help for our itinerary in the following days. I am very grateful for her enthusiastic help.

The guide Anna speaks eloquently and shares interesting stories. She ensures the group understands the tour as there's also tour members of other languages and she can speak in their language as well.
