We were a bit apprehensive about embarking on a 10hr day out, but it went really quickly. Our guide, Pedro, was very thourogh with the organisation and provided us with local information. The coach was comfortable, the restaurant was ok. We found Linderhof more interesting if not as spectacular as Neuschwanstein, largely because the guide made the his tour more entertaining. We felt hustled through the Neuschwanstein tour then dumped out the back door.
Our guide was fun and the tours were great. Neuschwanstein is breathtaking. There were actually paragliders sailing above the castle. Fun to see!
It was simple and easy to buy tickets with headout. The instructions for the meeting point were very specific and easy to follow. The tour guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour in particular because the views from the bus were stunning and the combination of visiting Linderhof and Neuschwanstein was definitely worth it, both were stunning. The bus left at 0900 and was a couple of hours to Linderhof palace. We were given some time to admire the grounds before the tour started. It's a small palace but makes up for it in beauty on the inside, the ammount of marble and ornate decorations was impressive. We then got back on the bus and drove another hour to Hohenschwangau, the town where Neuschwanstein is. When we arrived we were given our tickets and time for our tour, we had a few hours to explore the town and get some lunch. The tour was wonderful and we were given an audio guide to listen to the information about each room. After the tour we got back on the bus to Munich and were dropped off at around 1900
Everything was so organized but without the stress of being rushed all the time. Cansel, our guide, was just wonderful. She was engaging, interesting, and warm. Loved all the snacks and drinks! The castle was breathtaking, of course. We also loved Linderhof, which was so serene and beautifully located. The villages, the mountains, the views...everything was just out of fairy tales!
The tour was well organised and our guide Miss. canzel kept us engrossed with information and fun facts about Munich and the places we visited.
This was an awesome tour and Elizabeth was a fantastic guide! She provided many insights into the history and kept over on schedule. There is a lot to see at both Linderhof Palace and Neuschwanstein Castle. Highly recomend, worth every euro, wish we had more time to tour.
I would like to share my overall very positive experience with this tour. Particular praise goes to the guide: she proved to be extremely knowledgeable, providing interesting and detailed information, and at the same time, she was exceptionally courteous throughout the entire excursion. It was a real pleasure listening to her and interacting with her. The logistical organization also deserves commendation: the bus service was excellent, comfortable, and punctual, proving to be a real strong point for fully enjoying the day without the stress of travel. The only aspect preventing me from giving the maximum 5-star rating concerns the description of included services. Unfortunately, some services mentioned as included in the package (specifically, the shuttle bus and the horse-drawn carriage to get up to Neuschwanstein Castle) turned out to require payment upon arrival, needing an extra cash outlay on site. I believe that, for greater transparency and fairness towards customers, it would be appropriate to update the tour description. Ideally, these services should either be removed from the list of inclusions or, even better, it should be clearly specified that they are additional costs to be paid in cash on-site. This would prevent unmet expectations and potential misunderstandings. Despite this minor issue regarding information, the overall experience was definitely worthwhile, and I would recommend this tour. The quality of the guide and the transportation was impeccable. For this reason, my rating is 4 out of 5 stars.
I appreciated a lot the kindess and care offered by Pedro, our guide. He is nice, professional and very precise. Also, he had an excellent word for everyone, gave precise indications and excellent information. He spoke in German, English and Spanish and was always at our disposal. I did however not appreciate the time at disposal at Linderhof Castle. We arrived at 10:15 a.m. on April 18th and had to be back at the bus at 11:10 a.m.. This was not even one full hour and we did not have sufficient time AFTER the guided tour of the castle to visit the gardens, take photos and walk around. Please consider to let more time at disposal for the tourists next time! Thank you!
The staff were very nice and took care of us all the time—well-operated tour with comfort.

Unfortunately, we only got tickets for a guided tour in English. This was not obvious at first glance. Too bad at the castle. With the guide it was no problem.

The mature explantion of the guide was perfect. The tour was well organized.
The tour guide was an extremly pasionated by history and had a lot of information regarding Germany's past.
It's a pity that all the explanations given by the guide are only available in German or English. None of the guides spoke French.

Tour was good but a little intense. Too much focus on history - could have been a bit more chatty with more info on the castle and it's construction. No mention of it appearing in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film! Which might have appealed to the children in the group.
Our guide, Stephen, was outstanding. He is very knowledgable and knows the history very well. We were very grateful to have such an awesome tour guide.
Everything was easy. Your was enjoyable Amir was very knowledgeable and made the experience entertaining and educational.
Steve was the best guide ever, didn't expect the guided tour to be this informative and fun. Super great guy and had the most beautiful experience throughout.
The guide helped us. It was great. I thought the tour was too long. The highlight was the horse-drawn carriage home. Wasn't in the booking. We were not listed. Worked out anyway. Thank you

We loved our guide, Amir Saad, that had so much passion for history! We had a rainy, foggy day but we made the best of it. We were SO disappointed that the castle tour was so brief. The castle guide should have had a light to shine or a red dot pointer to the things he was pointing out to us to look at. Paying $57.50 EU was a lot for a tour but we were afraid that we couldn't get into the castle after planning our whole trip around it so that part was worth it.
Great castle! Great guide Steven!
Perfectly organized tour and excellent guide with exciting stories

It really is the perfect time to experience Munich, summers over here are long and enticing and of course the gorgeous Neuschwanstein castle is just gorgeous
There's just something so calming about the Beverian countryside that makes you feel like you're at home. The locals you interact with are super sweet and welcominig
The coach transfer to the Neuschwanstein castle was such a smooth ride, it didn't even feel like we were moving. Very easy transportation facilities in this side of the country
The Marienbruke hike was a fun addition while going to see the castle, so a word of advice: wear comfortable shoes, carry some suntan lotion, and a small bottle of water to hydrate
Thank God we first got down at Schwangu- it is the most stunning village I've ever seen before and the bike ride was a life changing experience for me. Would come back here any day
