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 good. Our guide Faizer knows all the details we need to pay attention to, so I think it worths the money. One thing I wish could be improved was to distribute the map earlier. A small group of us at the Linderhof Castle didn't know where to go so we took the detour unknowingly, resulting in late arrival at the castle.

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!

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!

I admit that the Headout app and reservations made be a bit skeptical - was wondering if it was a scam honestly. But, our tour guide, Steve was promptly there at the exact location stated in the app. Steve was outstanding. Ten out of ten stars!! He shared so much historical information and many great stories to go along with. He helped us navigate the paths up there, telling stories along the way. 10 out of 10 stars! One recommendation is that you take screen shots of your ticket via the app while you have service. At the location where we met Steve, cell service is limited and we couldn't pull up the tickets. Fortunately we had taken a screen shot of the tickets. That said, Steve had our names and the number of people in our party so guessing it wouldn't have been an issue. He was prepared :) Highly recommend. The tour of the Neuschwanstein Castle was GREAT.

Our friendly guide Stephen arrived on time . Explaned what and how the 3 hour tour will take place . Handed out our tickets, and then at several stops up to the castle informed us about the history that kept all of us spelbound. Gave us tips where to take the best pictures and arranged everything so that we arrived at time at the ticket entrance to the castle.

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.
