A must see. The Islands visited were great and the Royal Castle of Herrenchiemsee was outstanding. Really incredible. Lunch on the Island was very good as well.

This is a light day trip and is quite enjoyable. Although it takes a full day, quite a bit of time is spent on boats but the overall tour is enjoyable.

My only negative comment is that we could not take phots like we did the last time I was there in 1962.

Greatly enjoyed tour of Herrenchiemsee. Would have enjoyed it more if we had been advised of the horse carts that take you to the castle. Guides tend to walk to fast for some of us older people. Then we have to try to find them when we get to the castle.

We were so lucky. The day was absolutely gorgeous, and the boat rides were amazing. Arriving to Herrenchiemsee and visiting the castle was incredible, and later, having lunch at one of the local restaurants at Fraueninsel made the whole experience unforgettable.

Wonderful. It made us realize what it is like to live like a king.

Review by: Mary F, United States of America	October 2008
The guide for this tour was horrible! She hardly spoke and when she did, she was hard to hear. She seemed too shy to be a guide. I had many unanswered questions and left very disappointed.

Excellent!

Castle not as spectacular, however it had some beautiful porcelain chandeliers, which I've never been a big porcelain fan but these were spectacular. The island of Fraueninsel makes for a nice relaxing day. You can just sit on the shore and gaze at the beautiful scenery. Of course walking around the island you see lots of beautiful stuff as well. I just enjoy looking at the architecture in Germany and looking in some of the shops.

It is well worth the trip and the inside visit. However, more time should be allotted to visit the gardens and the Museum, and less time for Fraueninsel.

The tour was good overall.

Review by: Karen M, United States of America	June 2007
The castle was great, even though it isn't finished. The grounds were beautifully kept. The Fraueninsel part of the trip was also nice, the church well worth visiting.

Review by: Wallace H, United States of America	May 2007
We had a great experience on our bus and boat tour to the castle. The bus was extremely clean, the staff was very helpful and took extra time to ensure everyone had a good time. We especially liked our tour guide who was very child friendly.
