Really nice trip and very easy to take. The tour office is literally steps from the train you'll be taking in the Munich Hauptbahnof. Our guide was really very pleasant and profoundly knowledgeable about the history of the castle and the Bavarian royal family lineage.

Beautiful destination and even the train trip out had beautiful views, snow covered country at the time. Did I say beautiful?

If not in great physical shape you should plan to take the horse and carriage up to the castle with the caveat that the last half mile must be trekked on foot as the horses cannot go up the steeper inclines and winding road. Also, you should be prepared to climb up and down combined a total of 345 stairs throughout the tour of the castle. Our tour guide was friendly enough albeit a bit detached but didn't do a lot of teaching about the sites, more so just getting us from place to place on time which I can say was quite helpful. With all of that in mind - enjoy!

I enjoyed the tour very much, the castles were beautiful and our tour guide was a lovely character. We had a short lunch--the menu was small but the food was good. Very interesting history. It was a 2 hour trip there and back, but if you have the time it's definitely a great thing to do.

There was some confusion about where to meet. We were told to meet at platform 32 at the main train station, which is where we stood. Finally we saw a group of people coming our way, and I asked if by any chance this was the tour to the castle. We would have missed the whole thing. We didn't realize there was an office we were supposed to go to.

I was travelling on my own and definitely found it helpful to have everything organised in a group. The group was a great mix of people. The guided tour inside the castle was very informative. Even though it was winter it was still very beautiful especially with the snow.

Great guide. I probably expected more from the castle but it was still worth doing.

Wonderful tour. Left on time. We were able to have lunch in town. It was bad weather, but the tour guide's knowledge made up for it.

It was beautiful on the outside! I would certainly recommend getting the horse and buggy if you aren't good for steep distances. No pictures inside the castle and not very informative tour; the Viator person doesn't go inside with you. I think they let too many people inside at one time. The Viator person was more like a herder than a tour guide. I wish that she was more involved as she seemed knowledgeable.

All the info was as stated. But my wife has arthritic knees, and we found that there is a lot of walking involved and no handicapped facilities. We feel that if such facilities were available, a lot more people could enjoy the tour.

Neuschwanstein Castle was GREAT!! Only one negative: The tour operator was unprofessional; they left some of the tourists behind, including my group. They left the designated pickup point early, leaving us behind, stranded. No one from the tour operator cared whether or not we made it back to Munich. We had to get back to Munich the best way we could.

This was a great tour. The guide was well versed, very energetic and took good care of her large group.

The castle was wonderful to see. The views from inside it were amazing. I really would have liked a little more time so we could shop and sightsee a bit. But overall, I'm glad we did it and loved the castle and seeing the countryside from the train.
