It was a good tour. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Munich. (We brought snacks and water.) Keep in mind all the statues will be covered if you visit in the winter time 🙁 Thank you to our tour guide for sharing her personal stories about a divided Germany.

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

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.
