This is a good (long) day tour.
Our guide Debbie provided a great history of both Harburg Castle, Rothenburg and German history, generally which I really enjoy as it provides so much more appreciation for what I’m seeing.
Historically, Harburg castle is very interesting - though not as picturesque as Neuwachenstein Palace.
Rothenburg is an absolute delight. Even though I felt I’d seen quite a few historical / medieval German buildings before I got here, it is amazing. Every corner is an interesting new vista.
Of course, there are wonderful little shops and eateries as well as the amazing historical architecture and history.
This tour was really good. My only negative would be that we had a double decker bus which makes for a massive tour group which can be difficult when you have to wait for so many people to catch up / try to hear over the crowd. Otherwise, very enjoyable.
