The bus micro did not work.

Micro did not work in the bus The guide was standing in front of me blocking completely my view and he was frequently leaning over me further stressing. Even after several attempts to ask him to move away Did not enjoy at all. His explanation in the castle was good

Great

It’s really nice and the sight seen helps you think it should have an extra hour so you can have an opportunity to explore the gardens or the. Market as 20 min is not enough

Rushed

Booking - via Jet2 Pick up - difficult to find location to be picked up OPERNBRUNNEN Language - English and spanish difficult to follow as jumped between languages City Tour - speeded around city difficult to see landmarks and absorb information provided Palace tour - extremely busy had to push through crowds Palace grounds - no time to see unless you missed the bus and find your own way back to the city Tour guide - extremely knowledgeable and assertive but pleasant to tour group Recommendation - try to book when not busy OR find a full day tour when not to rushed
