“We thoroughly enjoyed our day. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. The only downside was we felt rushed through both castles. The bus we travelled on was quite new and well equipped. We could buy water, juice and even beer! The driver was excellent and we felt safe at all times Thank you Viator”

“We very much enjoyed our trip with Tom. We were contacted the day before with a pick-up time and picked up promptly on the morning of the trip. At the stops before the castle, our guide showed us some local attractions and a few places to get breakfast, coffee, and sweet treats. Handy, as we had not eaten beforehand. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure every part of the trip was fun and informative. He spoke perfect English and was happy to answer questions. Finally, the stop at the cheese farm was probably our highlight. Highly recommend this one!”

Review of Neuschwanstein Castle’s ticket and audio tour, with practical advice on pickup, timing, walking, price, views, and value.

“The visit to the Castle was a highlight of our trip and one of the main things we were definitely going to include in our trip. The weather could not have been any better. You will want to ensure that you include the walk up to the bridge to see the castle from that vantage point, as it is unforgettable. You do not get to see a significant portion of the castle from the inside, as it was never finished, but what you do see is amazing and the view from the balcony just outside of the cafe is another not miss portion of the castle visit. Do walk to…”

“Very Disappointed…. Take care booking the VIP tour, 2 days prior I was contacted by the company saying VIP was unavailable and put onto the regular coach. Some refund was provided but we still paid more than others on the tour for a front seat and drinks / snacks. The castle group tours were overcrowded and difficult to see the features in the room as people were jammed in and could not see around them. Also be aware most outside statues were boarded over to protect during the winter snow period. Bus tour guide provided good information but I would spend my money on another tour if given the opportunity.”

“Amir did a good job of explaining history of the castle and telling about Ludwig life and accomplishments. Group size was a bit large - difficult to hear and get instructions on when group was moving on. Would be nice to be given voucher for horse buddy ride down after. Group moved on while we were taking pictures and we were left to walk down.”

“Jake was great! He is an American happily lost in Bavaria. His knowledge of history was awesome and wasn't boring per my wife, and she doesn't usually enjoy more than 10 minutes of history. It was great also talking to an American about German culture and make it easily understable and relatable to us in the USA.”
