The Romantic Road coach from Würzburg: 4.8 from eighteen ratings, and the shortest day of the four

What this is: seven and a half hours down the Romantic Road to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, leaving from Würzburg main station at the long-distance bus platform. It is the only one of the four Romantic Road listings on this site that starts here, and the shortest: no transfer to Frankfurt or Munich first. Its inclusions cover Weikersheim Castle, entrance and a special tour of the Knights Hall and Baroque Garden; entry tickets in Rothenburg and in Würzburg are not included, so the palace is one for the morning before or the day after.

The written review, in the language it was written in

“Экскурсия была замечательной. Гид был потрясающим. Рассказывала все на двух языках немецком и английском. Мы узнали много интересной информации. Гид была очень доброжелательна и внимательна ко всем. Получили массу удовольствия. Это экскурсия на которую хочется поехать еще раз”
Kristel, Estonia, September 2025Romantic Road & Rothenburg ob der Tauber Tour from WürzburgIn English: The excursion was wonderful and the guide was outstanding. She told us everything in two languages, German and English. We learned a great deal of interesting information. The guide was very friendly and attentive to everyone. We enjoyed it enormously. This is an excursion you want to take again.

The listing promises a German and English guide, and the one written review confirms it worked exactly that way on her day — and that she would go again. The rest of the day is set out in the listing’s own inclusions, below.

Why the local coach has fewer reviews than the Munich one

This is the pattern the whole reviews hub is built around. The coach that leaves Würzburg has eighteen ratings. The coach that leaves Munich has 2,440. The volume follows the departure city rather than the destination, so a traveller searching for a Romantic Road day out of Würzburg meets the Munich listing first and the local one much later.

If you are already here, the local one is the shorter day: seven and a half hours against ten and a half, and no dead time on the motorway up from Bavaria. Eighteen ratings at 4.8 and free cancellation make it an easy booking to make and an easy one to change.

What is included, and what is not

Included: the coach, a German and English guide, and Weikersheim Castle — “entrance and special tour in the Knights Hall and Baroque Garden”, in the listing’s own words. Excluded, also in its own words: “Entry ticket to attractions in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Würzburg”. So the Residence is one for the morning before the coach or the day after it, with the guided tour that comes with the palace ticket.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Romantic Road tour from Würzburg leave from?

Würzburg main station, at the long-distance bus platform, according to the listing. Getting to the station area, and to the Residenz from it, is on how to get there.

Does it include entry to anything?

Weikersheim Castle: entrance plus a special tour of the Knights Hall and Baroque Garden. It explicitly excludes entry tickets to attractions in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and in Würzburg, so the Residence is one to see on the palace ticket on another morning.

Why does this tour have so few reviews?

Because it sells to people already in Würzburg, a much smaller group than the day-trippers booking out of Munich or Frankfurt. Eighteen ratings at 4.8 is a small record with a very good average, and free cancellation takes the risk out of a newer listing. How the counts compare across the catalogue is on the reviews hub.
