Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Outstanding.
Our guide (Steven) was amazing.
His passion and knowledge for the subject and the area were second to none
Can’t thank him enough for this.
The snow didn’t stop us (not even the massive slab that dropped off the top of the old Gestapo building……..
A tremendous few hours and a must for anyone visiting Munich

Our tour guide, Eric is second to none! Encyclopedic knowledge of German history with many references to current events. He has his facts straight and presents the historical perspective of the lead up to WWII in such depth that it is like a college level history course. Stopped at all of the key historical sites along the way - in a 17 inch snowfall!! Highly recommended!

We went the day it started snowing.
Long train ride from Munich to the castle. But our guide Stevo was so organised, and so well prepared, we never felt bored and were always able to anticipate the train ride, duration and the upcoming activities.
The castle tour itself was provided by castle staff. It is very interesting but rather short. Out of necessity I guess, you will know when you see it.
Stevo was highly informative, witty and such a great guide!

We knew our first trip to Germany had to include a visit to one of the concentration camps. We chose Dachau, as it was the first, and the model for the others. Our tour guide, Mat, was phenomenal! His grasp of history was impressive, and his ability to distill key information and help our group understand the cultural and political dynamics of the time heightened the impact of what we saw at the memorial sight. If you want to get the most out of this tour, be sure Mat is your guide!

Our tour was excellent and its was all due to our fantastic guide Stephanie. She made this tour possible even thou we had issues with train delays and cancelations. Due to Stephanie perseverance and resourcefulness we were able to fully enjoy our day adventure. The insightful information that Stephanie was able to share with us made this trip even more worthwhile. Our crew of 8 was so lucky to have you as our guide. Stephanie and Radius Tours you rock !!!

Mat was a superb tour guide who was very knowledgeable about both Dachau and European history. He made sure that everyone was comfortable on the trip while answering any and all questions.

Hello,
I am interested in booking a trip to Neuschwanstein castle from Munich on Aug 1 for 3 adults and 1 child (12 years). Couple of questions:
1. Where do you pick and drop from? What time? We will be staying near Altstad
2. I understand tickets to the castle are not included. Are they guaranteed to be available and we can buy them at the bus?
3. Does your guide accompany inside the castle? How long is the actual tour inside the castle?
4. How much free time do we have near the castle to take pics etc?

We were in Munich in April and took the tour to Nuremberg by train and had Jeff as out tour guide. He was fantastic. When we assembled in Munich at the train station, we had only 13 people, but when we arrived in Nuremberg train station, we had 27 more people join us. Jeff said this is unusual for a tour so large. He did a great job keeping up with that many (40), but group was too large!

We are planning to take a Radius Tour to Neuschwanstein. Is there any time to explore the town of Fussen before or after the castle tour? Do we need to pack a lunch? Approximately what time (4pm, 6pm?) is the train trip back to Munich? thanks

We did have some time before and some time after to explore but not a ton. My friends and I walked down to the Alpsee and hung out in the sun for a while where you also catch a good view of Hohenshwangau. We all bought food at a street stand so packing a lunch is a good idea. I don't quite remember what time the train ride back was, maybe we got back into Munich at 7ish? could have been later.

We would like to ride from Ulm to Passau in August. If we rent our bikes from you would that be easy to get to Ulm with bikes? Do you have a bikes pick up service to return them back from Passau?
