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 Neuschwanstein Castle’s skip-the-line ticket, audio guide, ticket pickup, transport, walking demands, price, and value.

“Absolutely loved it. It was a magical day. The castle was spectacular- shame no photos are allowed inside. We enjoyed some beers in the sun too. I’m not sure what the ‘skip the line’ element is as everyone was in the same boat. Many were getting tickets online at the door to the castle for a lot less.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 607 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $78

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.”

“Follow directions for time of ticket entry, get there early. The experience was wonderful, beautiful castle and grounds. Buying the tickets directly from the castle is much cheaper, in our case they were sold out for the day we wanted to attend. Therefore, it was worth it to spend the extra money to have the experience.”

15.Neuschwanstein Castle Tour with Skip the Line from Hohenschwangau

Review of the Neuschwanstein Castle tour from Hohenschwangau, with skip-the-line entry, Mary’s Bridge, castle guide, carriage ride, and practical tips.

“The interior castle portion of the tour is an audio guide where you are herded around in a large group from one room to the next, which is not the greatest experience, but you don't feel rushed and you do end up getting a good look at the interior. The Viator guide meets you at the parking lot and then takes you on a bus ride up to the castle. Along the way, the guide provides a lot of history of the castle, the family that built it, and the region. You then get to spend a few minutes on the bridge before the interior tour. After the interior tour,…”
