time to reflect on the spectacle you have witnessed. Dinner
is included each night plus lunch before the Play commences.
*The 7 day Bavarian Castles itinerary, includes accommodation in the Oberammergau area for one night on the night of the performance and so you will travel to Oberammergau on the morning of the play from our hotel base in Reutte, which is about 11.2 hours away, arriving in time for lunch ahead of the play. |

| Tickets are allocated
together with the accommodation so we have no control over
the exact location of seats, but suffice to say the higher
the grade of hotel, the better the seats. The plan below shows
the seating layout together with ticket categories. |

| Silver Service Coach |
| As
well as extra legroom and a spacious rear lounge, Silver
Service is much more than a coach with added comfort and
facilities. The spacious rear lounge is
the ideal place to meet your fellow travellers, relax or
simply have a change of scene. And, you’ll get extra benefits
such as porterage in your hotels and extra included excursions
on selected tours. Find
