An impressive tour of the residence of former crowned heads of Bavaria. All that luxury and splendour are definitely worth admiring. Particularly the shell-covered rooms and halls and the huge dining/ music hall are wonderful, next to many of the other rooms shown to eager visitors.

In 25+ years of international travel, this was our worst tour experience. The guide was not at the designated meeting place. We emailed Viator multiple times ask for her whereabouts. After our 3rd email, the guide called and said we were not in the correct place, gave her location and told us we could find her. When we did find her, she actually asked what we wanted to see..we had no idea, that's why we booked a tour. Then she told us we had paid way too much for our tickets and that they really take advantage of tourists. Once we got started, her speech was nearly impossible to follow as she frequently lost her train of thought or spoke of matters of no interest. Faced with stairs or long rooms, she would turn away without explanation expecting us to follow her even though we were left wondering what we were missing. We found her so exhausting and unhelpful that we ended the tour as soon as we came upon an exit sign. We returned the next day without a guide but purchased a most informative audio headset at a fraction of the Viator tour cost and thoroughly enjoyed touring this amazing palace.

Marianne was simply amazing! We highly recommend! She was knowledgeable and personable!don’t do the palace without her!

Tony_L

The treasury was particularly impressive. Many of the areas of the Residenz were not accessible. What we were able to see was also quite impressive. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but struggled at times to find the right words in English.

Our tour guide Marianne. Knowledgeable and very helpful. Marianne went above and beyond. Our tour was excellent because of her.
