Doing what: Royal Castles of Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Day Tour from Munich
You get plenty of time to explore castle of Neuschwanstein. Our tour started from Munich to Linderhof. Good scenery on the way there. Tour guide was very precise with the instruction and also did quiz about Munich as some sort of entertainment. After visiting Linderhof, we stopped in a beautiful town for a short break. Lastly, we then headed to the last destination which is the Neuschwanstein castle. We had our lunch there as well. The restaurant the tour guide recommended did serve the meal very quickly but I didn't enjoy the meal that much. Iwould rate 5/5 if there was more time for a short leisure walk in the little town [cannot remember the name]. You need to know that there will be additional guided tour fee for the 2 castles if you want to go in. It was not offered as an option. The tour guide just collected the money from you on the bus. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour. It's worth going with tour rather than on your own by public transport as you can get to enjoy the scenery on the way there plus you don't have to walk all the way back to train station at the end of the day which is quite tiring after such a long walk. I didn't really see a train station nearby so I assume it's not really within walking distance. Hope this helps.

I had a great time on the tour to Neuschwanstein and Lunderhof Castles and our guide was very helpfull and informative. I would have liked more time at Linderhof Castle to explore the grounds more thoroughly. Linderhof was amazing and unique. I was disappointed to see a substantial part of Neuschwanstein Castle in the process of being repaired but it seems that most of Europe is clad in scaffolding and shade cloth. I was able to get some good photos from the bridge though.

The trip was great: nicely organized and well executed. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging and very efficient at providing orientation, getting everyone on and off the bus, obtaining tickets, getting everyone around the attractions in timely but non-stressful fashion and so on. I personally liked Linderhof part of the tour better: the castle and the grounds were absolutely astonishing, it wasn’t as crowded, and there was no wait to get in and out. Neuschwanstein castle is at the top of the hill and to get there you have to walk for 20 min mostly behind and between the horse carriages, which meant nauseating smell but good cardio exercise!

We had a great time visiting the Neuschwanstein castle! Train ride was not bad. Our guide was a young guy from Texas and he was great - really funny and did a superb job of making the tour interesting and fun! Definitely a tour that we would recommend to anyone!

We loved the castle tour. We were on an organized and air conditioned bus tour with a great tour guide. She started pointing out points of interest in Munich as we were leaving town and along the way. We first arrived at Linderhof which was terrific. We then stopped in Oberammergau for shopping which was a great surprise. Then on to Neuschwanstein for lunch and then the castle tour. It was fabulous and you have to see it in person. Definitely go up to the Bridge so you can take pictures of the Castle in the distance. Instead of walking up, they offer a bus ride or horse draw carriage, both which were reasonably priced. Our group had a reservation for the inside castle tour and didn't have to wait in the mile long line for tickets. We walked down from the castle although you could ride down if you wanted to. If you are going to Munich, it is a must see. You won't regret it.

The day trip out to Neuschwanstein Castle was the highlight of my trip. The tour guides were great and they went out of their way make sure we had a great time. I will suggest that if you are not in good physical shape to avoid the hiking part of the tour and take the carriage to the top. I'm no athlete but I consider myself in ok shape and it was a tough climb. However, the view from the bridge made it well worth it!
I also have to say that the tour company really went out of their way. As we were leaving we got caught in a downpour and the bus missed the train back to Munich. Instead of leaving us stranded waiting for the next train, they hired the bus to shuttle us home and we got into Munich only 15 mins past schedule.

Joseph, our tour guide, was delightful, esp. his humor! I still remember some of his witty, dry anecdotes about Joseph's Day at the breweries, the Oberammergau tongue twisters--and of course, the more serious Ludwig II stories. The castles were splendid, and the hike he recommended to the narrow bridge above Neuschwanstein was harrowing but worth it for the view!

The guided tour around the castle was by far the best part of the day. Got an interesting history lesson with a great tour guide and checked out some incredible views of the castle. When going inside the actual castle however you swap tour guides and this part of the day was less impressive. The Neuschwanstein castle staff just seem to want to push you through and get to the next crowd. Definitely worth seeing the castle through another tour group rather than doing it yourself. If you go - do the gorge walk. It is beautiful.

Had an excellent trip to Neuschwanstein, very enthusiastic tour guide who was full of information about Bavaria. Beautiful picturesque scenary,id advise getting the bus to the top as its quite a steep climb but only buy a one way ticket as the walk down is very pleasant. Me,Wife and 2 kids really enjoyed it, would definitly recommend this trip if your staying in Munich

Neuschwanstein castle is really amazing! Linderhof is quite nice too. However, the tour guides (both on the bus and in the castles) were not very professional.

Very well-coordinated trip that covers Neuschwanstein and Linderhof in a day. Short stopover in Oberammergau which has a lot of quaint stuff that you don't normally find in the cities.

Overall the trip was pretty good. Only problem was with the coach transfer up the hill to Neuschwanstein. There was a long queue with insufficient covered area in which to wait (shade good on hot day and rain protection on bad day required), and all a bit chaotic!
