“My sister, niece and I were just in Frankfurt a couple of weeks ago and the Neuschwanstein Castle was the top of our must see list! It is a bit of a drive but the time went by so fast thanks to our wonderful tour guide Jack! We stopped on the way to the beautiful Rothenburg at the Christmas Market for some shopping and pictures of the amazing architecture.

Review of the Heidelberg and Rothenburg day trip from Frankfurt, with castle views, medieval streets, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“Cities and attractions were great! Only negative of the trip was the transportation. Our group of 3 was seated in last row of van (with 3 rows of seats). We are each over or near 60 years of age. With the distance from driver and noise from wheels on the road, it was difficult to hear our excellent tour guide, Thomas. Recommend some kind of small sound system/amplifier so folks seated in the back don't miss out on interesting information.”
