The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. It felt kind of long on a hot day, but the place is so large it takes that long.
Our guide did a great job. Very knowledgeable. There were so many things in the Residenze that I did not know existed (Relics).
Thought this was like other three tours where you showed them your ticket. The fine print said otherwise. By the time we figured it out it was too late for tour. We had to buy new tickets to see it. Much better to buy tickets and use free audio guide than pay $200 more dollars for a live guide. I do not recommend this tour.
Dear Debbie_E, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how disappointing it must have been to miss the tour, especially when expectations about the booking process differed from what was required. Our guided tours operate differently from standard admission tickets, and the meeting instructions and participation requirements are provided in the tour details and pre-tour information. We regret that there was a misunderstanding, which ultimately prevented you from joining the experience. While we respect that an audio guide may be a preferred option for some travelers, our tours are designed to offer the added value of a live licensed guide, interactive commentary, and the opportunity to ask questions throughout the visit. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make our tour information as clear as possible for future guests. Regards, Rosotravel Team
Our tour guide, David, was fantastic! You could tell that he really took his time to learn everything about the Residence.
We had an excellent guide who decided to extend our tour with 30min. He made the Residenz come alive as he explained everything very well. This was my second visit, and a very enjoyable 3hours!
