The castle is picture perfect and we recommend taking the horse drawn cart to top. The views from the top are amazing and it’s definitely worth the drive

The price is a little bit on the high side - but that is the price we paid for not booking tickets to visit Neuschwanstein early enough on our own. On the plus side-we didn't have to stress at all about how to get to our destination. Those details were all taken care of for us. We just got to focus on enjoying the trip and the castle. Communication came via email and text (we don't have WhatsApp) and was easy to understand. The price included our rail trip from Munich Central station to a small town where our driver / guide picked us up in a mini-van. Lhado - was extremely warm and friendly. He provided a lot of information on our drive to the castle. He provided water for our walk up to the castle and tickets were issued that included a live guided tour. That tour was brief but very interesting. Walking the grounds was amazing. Lhado and his lovely wife picked us up at our meeting spot right on time and got us back to the train station. They sent us on our way with a Barvarian pretzel. Lhado even walked us right to the train platform to be sure we got on the right train back to Munich. It was just my husband and me on this trip. We are not ones for big "tour groups". We were left to do our own thing so this pared down approach worked perfectly for us.

First the PROS of our tour. The tour was very convenient, and the logistics were seamless. Our guide was friendly and informative. We took the Skip the Line: Half day Tour from Füssen. Although it states half day it really is a full day. Next the CONS of our tour. The price on the website stated 189€, but when we tried to book the price changed to 250€. We never got a reasonable explanation for this. You only see Hohenschwangau Castle from a distance. A tour of the castle isn’t actually included. There is no scheduled stop in Oberammergau, only a drive through. We did convince our guide to stop for 10 minutes so we could pop into one of the wood carving shops. The tour description makes it seem like you have stops in these locations in addition to Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castles. Beware of what you are truly getting with this tour.

Experience was wonderful. Oggie was a great tour guide. Super easy and accommodating. Would definitely recommend to others

First of all Ignore anyone or any review that says to skip this tour. This is an amazing tour of a beautiful castle and beautiful Fussen! One important tip-Don’t Walk to the castle unless you really are a hiker/walker and you really want a work out. Go to Hohenschwangau and take the shuttle! This takes you to a spot where you get off and have to walk. It’s a short walk-but up a steep up hill. Also remember the castle has a lot of stairs. So save your energy and trust me when I say don’t walk-take the shuttle! We saw so many unprepared, already exhausted people walking from very far away, I don’t think they realized how far away the castle was. Other Tips- from 55-57 year old fit couple experienced with E-MTN bikes. Go stay in Fussen the day/night before you tour the castle. Pre-book the first possible tour on line with print at home option. Doing this you will miss the massive crowds and enjoy a quicker and smaller tour. Also going the evening before to Fussen gives you a chance to have a beautiful ride around lake Forggensee, and take in the beauty of Fussen. Make sure to Rent an e-MTN bike in town from local bike shop Not city bike from train station. It is the same cost for a much better bike and equipment. The hill climb to the castle is gravel/dirt and steep but can be done with E-MTB. At the top Bike does have to be left for a short walking path to castle. We loved this and had the best time!

The castle is simply stunning!! We had prebooked our tickets for an English speaking tour group. Parking at the little village, we then walked 20mins up the path to reach the entrance. You can do a bus or horse carriage tour as well if inclined. Note that the tour groups leave promptly, so you must be there for your time!! The castle is also undergoing renovation so some of the rooms are closed off, or you can only peer in through the doors for some rooms. However we saw enough of the castle to be mesmerized. It is amazing to see what was built, and it doesn't appear that any expense was spared! While in the area we also visited the suspension bridge, which was pretty busy with everyone taking selfies. We pushed through to the other side of the bridge and it was worth it as we had more space. We visited the area especially to see the castle, and were not disappointed.

We went for this tour with our guide Marin . Before we reach castle , we went to suspension bridge , although very scary but was good fun . Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful . He explained the entire history very well . He helped us to take pictures on the road in snow and still reach to castle on time . The castle visit in Germany was very good . Although it was very chilly there but we had a lot of fun . We will recommend this tour to everyone .

Overall good experience. Friendly person to organize travel. Castle was beautiful. You take a train and then get moved to a van. Sitting in third row wasn’t that pleasant and couldn’t see anything out the windows. Other than that, the experience was very good.

We took this tour in late November on a snowy day and it was magical. Our driver was fantastic. He drove us all over and made sure we got to the right spot for the tours. He had all our tickets ready and made sure we knew where we were going and where to meet after our tours. We had free time in Oberammergau and did some exploring and bought some souvenirs. While we were driving our driver explained the locations and some of the history. We had enough time at Neuschwanstein to get some lunch. Our driver had our tickets ready and explained how to get up to the entrance and what time our tour was. We walked and it only took us around 25 minutes not the 45 minutes in the brochure. The audio tour was very informative. Overall this is a great stress free day. One clarification is that the driver is a driver that provides directions and some history but is not a guide and does not accompany you on the tours.”

It was amazing, definitely worth it. The bikes were old but they were easy to ride, the organiser was friendly, the ride to the castle was easy and the castle itself was incredible

Lahdo was great, took care of everything with trains and driving and gave us a history of the area. Would definitely book again!

The trip to the castle was good. We made it on Monday 16 oct. 2023. The problem is we booked the trip and pay plm. 90,00 euro. The tickets we've got were priced 14.00 euro each ( student price)? Total 28,00 euro Who has made this enormous profit.

The castle itself was amazing, but the bikes are dangerous and a joke to rent. One of my brakes was completely broken and I was stuck in first gear. My husband also couldn’t change gears and his bike was shaking the whole time he rode. We are very active cyclists and couldn’t believe they rent bikes in this condition.

Truthfully, I was a little disappointed. Not with the castle, but with the whole process. From the description We were expecting a guided tour. We got someone who met us at the train station and got us to transfer, then we were given directions to get our tickets for transfer to the castle. Went through the castle on an audio tour and felt like we were just herded through. Definitely not worth the $174 per person. Maybe during the summer it might be worth it, but otherwise just go on your own

I was unable to get ahold of the local cab company, and wound up being very late. Although it was too late to bike to the castle, the hosts were very kind to provide me with a ticket and a ride to the castle. Very kind and understanding, and I was incredibly grateful for their willingness to go above and beyond.
