Ludwig II had a habit of designing palaces after his idols. In the case of Linderhof Palace, the inspiration was the Sun-King Louis XIV and Versailles as he built up the "King's Cottage". Sun decor, hall of mirrors, and a smaller scale version of Versailles Ambassador's staircase are testament to the king's admirations. As far as royal palaces go, Linderhof Palace has a private atmosphere with only four rooms that actually served a purpose.
The gardens surrounding Linderhof Palace are considered some of the most beautiful in the world, combining the formal elements of Baroque style and Italian Renaissance gardens with landscaped sections in the English style. There are also a few unique structures apart of the palace park including the Venus grotto, Hunding's Hut, Gurnemanz Hermitage, and the Moroccan House.

Markus was a great tour guide. There is a LOT of walking up hill to Neuschwanstein and that should be explained so everyone knows. A great way to see the castles at Linderhof and Neuschwanstein.

Doing what: Royal Castles of Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Day Tour from Munich
I really enjoyed seeing Neuschwanstein and Linderhof. The scenery was beautiful and the tour went very smoothly. Te guides are helpful and we had a great driver. It is usually a large group tour of about 100 so there isn't a lot of flexibly in the schedule.
