Review of the Munich day tour to Neuschwanstein and Linderhof, with practical advice on price, walking, timing, transport, and tour options.

“It should be better known that you have to pay extra for tickets to enter the place (42€), ontop of what you already pay, and what you are then paying for is JUST transport in truth as both palaces have their own tour guide. However if you do want to do this trip going with a group is really the only and best way of doing it. The timing of the day was good, both palaces were worth seeing”

Review of Munich’s Neuschwanstein and Linderhof day trip, with practical advice on costs, walking, timing, tickets, guides, and winter conditions.

“Alberto was a very informative tour guide. I learnt so much on the trip that I didn’t know about Bavaria and Germany. You can see that he is truly passionate about his work, history and knowledge of everything. Really enjoyed all the aspects of the tour with him being the guide. Although when I booked, I was not aware that the entry ticket prices were not included in the price so it was an additional fee to purchase the tickets of both the castles for 37€. Also there is no student concessions unfortunately. Sadly, in the castles you are not allowed to take photos.”

Review of the Neuschwanstein bus and bike tour from Munich, with Alpine lakes, lunch, castle views, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“This is a full day with a bus ride through the beautiful countryside to Swangau. Tyler, the guide is excellent. Bike ride was flat and easy but I would definitely suggest wearing very good tennis shoes for the walk “hike” up to the castle. We are in great shape and it was tough for us. There is a bus to take you to the top if you prefer. I would Absolutely recommend this tour.”

The only negative thing I can say is that the airconditioning in the bis was really loud so that at times it was difficult to hear the guides when they spoke. The bike trip and swimming was amazing and the castle beautyful.”

Such a beautiful little town and such a special day. Would highly recommend without reservations.”
