The castle is beautiful, the views are breathtaking and our guide Mike was FANTASTIC!!! Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes because the castle is in a steep hill and you will have to walk a lot. At the end of the tour you can choose if you want to go down the hill through the normal street (walking) or the "scenic route" which is beautiful becuse you get to see waterfalls but this not a great option for people with walking disabilities or afraid of heights.
The inside of the castle was pretty but no big deal. I've seen better....
Enjoyed the whole day!
Excellent tour for the money. The castles were gorgeous and the ride was smooth. Our tour guide was retry knowledgable and witty and it made the long bus ride interesting. Worth it to see these wonderful castles up close and learn about them and the architecture. I would highly recommend this tour.
The day was perfect and the guide made the commentary interesting by injecting humour. The Linderhof Castle was special. Unfortunately, was unable to get a good photo of Nueschwanstein due to scaffolding. Apart from that, this is a highly recommended tour.
Beautiful castle. Enjoyed the bus ride and our tour guide was fun.
Really enjoyed the tour. A 2 hr train ride each way and a good amount of time to see the castle. The trek to the castle was a little tough, so would suggest you catch the bus if you are not incredibly fit. The tour inside the castle was run very efficiently and provided you with details about the rooms and the king. There was time to grab a bite to eat and browse the gift shops.
This was an easy way to get to Neuschwanstein and see parts of the town of Hohenschwangau as well. Our guide took us back to town from the castle on a small path through the forest as well, which was an added bonus!
Wow! This tour was a slow-paced venture to several castles. We didn't feel rushed, and our guide was able to answer our questions.
Roland was a great tour guide. Very good tour with spectacular views.
Very good.
Wonderful trip, this is the one of the best parts of Bavaria:) Beautiful nature and the Royal Castles are MUST!!!! The trip is organised wonderful, easy place to find the starting point and enough time to see most places!
Excellent! We went up to the bridge, where there was an excellent overview of the castle. After the tour, we walked down a gorge with a raging river that was worth seeing by itself. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the pace of the tour was just right. I don't see how another tour could squeeze in Linderhof the same day without leaving out some of the best parts.
Bridgette was our guide and she had this thing down to a fine science. The itinerary was well laid out but a little rushed at Linderhof and the small town in between. We ordered a large purchase and had it shipped at the shop we stopped at. They way over charged my credit card and took the entire time we were in that town trying to fix it. It took Bridgette going behind the counter and doing it herself to get the issue resolved. So I missed being able to take in the charming little town because of it. Bridgette saved the day though. Castles were breath taking and an experience of a lifetime. My only complaint was that a lot of Neuschwanstein's outside is under construction taking away from the effect only slightly.
Our tour guide was very strict, she even yelled at us about getting on the bus without a ticket even though we were told to and she was not by our bus. Bring exact change! She will also yell at you for that. The sights are definitely worth seeing so if you can deal with a strict German tour guide book this trip!
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the tram took longer than expected to reach the departure point of the tour. I tried to contact the tour office with the number given on the tickets, it just went to a voice mail saying they were not open. We got there 3 mins before the departure time. However the tour guide was about to resell our tickets. This was most disappointing especially in that, twice, a family held up the bus at two of the venues: first for 15 mins then 35 mins with no consequences- a total of 50 mins .... we just had to sit on the bus and wait for them..... The tour itself was good, as stated in the description. A good opportunity to see the castle. Although the shopping/tea stop in the town could be longer.
