I ended up booking the Bus/Castle/Carriage tour because I was too late to book a single Ticket on the Castle website What a happy surprise! our guide, Steve, was full of knowledge about, not only the castle, but the rich history of the family & area. I Would say more, but don't want to spoil any surprises for future visitors - I give Steve 10 out of 5 Stars (Tour Date Dec 10, 2024 - 10am)

This trip was amazing! Our driver Lucas was excellent. He took great care of us, was very personable and made sure all of our wants and needs were met above our expectations! I would highly recommend this tour, we did book the private tour because we don’t like the “full van or bus atmosphere”. Lucas was extremely informative the entire trip, and gave us a bunch of tips for the rest of our trip!

Our family including 2 college age children were thoroughly impressed with our private guided tour of Neuschwanstein and Howencchwangau. Our guide Stephen Wendell was so easy to work with, gave us such interesting history and tales that made the fairy tale experience even more idyllic. I highly recommend seeing the Neuschwanstein castle first and finishing with Howencchwangau. We had a nice break between, allowing us time for souvenirs and light lunch. He was very prepared, including providing umbrellas for the rain and snow. He took care to point out the landscape, context of the time period, corrected myths or twists of the stories about King Ludwig. Overall it was a highlight of our trip!

David was an excellent host. He was laid back, knowledgeable, and engaging. He shared a wealth of information, not only on the tour specifically, but on various locations in between stops. Our family had a fantastic day with memories for a lifetime! Thanks, David!

This stunning, bucket list destination could not have been more perfect! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Our tour was flawless! We will never forget this experience.

Our guide David was so knowledgeable and made our day very memorable. He was so personable and answered all of our questions. You can feel his love for his job! Memorable and fantastic day.

Stephen was a great guide who shared fantastic information, back story and historic detail. Not having to worry about the logistics and having somebody to guide, get tickets and answer questions was incredibly helpful.

The tour was great. Our Guide, Stephen, was awesome and told a great story. Highly recommend this tour. If you have the time also tour the Hohenschwangau castle. Lunch in-between at the Brustuberl is great.

David was a great tour guide, we were able to ask questions and he provided us with rich knowledge of the Bovarian culture and history. He was accommodating, had beverages on board and made the ride quite comfortable.

Excellent day visiting the two castles, with historical facts and commentary provided by our tour guide David as we drove to Fussen from Munich. David provided knowledge about the area and the history behind the castles, and made our visits to both castles as pleasant and easy as possible, considering how crowded and popular they are. He showed us the best photo spots and answered our questions thoughtfully. Also a good storyteller with some of the history around King Ludwig II!! Our day ended with a half hour visit to the lovely village of Oberramergau before our return trip to Munich. Highly recommend this private tour.

The tour was fantastic and Steven was very knowledgeable and interesting. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the castle.

Caroline was a great guide and provided fascinating background about the king and his most significant relationships. This added a dimension to the tour we otherwise would have missed.

Amir managed our group of 15 adults with grace, professionalism and humor. I have no idea how he kept us moving along, on time, while taking the perfect group photos. We were entertained and educated from pick up to drop off and visiting the castles would not have been the same without him. In addition, his communication while booking and before our tour was much appreciated. Highly recommend you book with Special Private Tours.

Amir is an attentive and delightful tour guide. He was punctual and anticipated our needs. He added extra historical detail at every turn and made sure that we were always well taken care of. As a local, it was clear he knew the routines and who to talk to. Numerous times we found ourselves at the front of the line. I could not speak highly enough of This tour.

Our guide Stephen was wonderful, very knowledgeable with lots of history and good stories. I highly recommend his tour for English speakers.
