Summary:
First off, I had a great time with my tour guide, Eva. She was a delight and very knowledgeable. She gets five stars just for being her.
That said, for those who are looking for a tour of Wartburg Castle and inside the Bach House itself, this tour is not what you want to book. My mistake was seeing Viator list a picture of the castle, assuming it was part of the tour, but if you look at the tour description (which I discovered later), it says "You will learn about Wartburg Castle." In other words, you'll learn about it but not see it. I also got to see the Bach House from the outside but did not get to tour the inside. None of this was my tour guide's fault.
What I did receive was a nice tour of the Luther Museum and parts of Eisenach, including the square. St. George's Church was sadly closed for renovation, which was a bummer. Bottom line: this tour was not necessarily what I had hoped for, but it was good nonetheless. Perhaps Viator could replace the pic of the castle in exchange for one of the town square and St. George's church.
