★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,756 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $91

See Linderhof and Neuschwanstein from Munich in one scenic day, with coach transport, castle tips, guide support, and practical costs.

“Visited Germany over the Christmas hols and was glad to find a tour to the castles on Boxing Day. Personally preferred Linderhof because of the intricate details and we could visit entire palace. Neuschwanstein was only abt 35 mins seeing part of the castle. The interiors are reminiscent of Residenz Munchen. Neuschwanstein inspired Disney if I am not wrong but cannot see his beauty from ground up. Aerial view would be better. Shuttle buses were not running thus upslope to Neuschwanstein can be a challenge. Being an animal lover I will not support horse carriages also. Thank you to Bashkin (driver) and guides Gabriel and Pedro for taking care of…”

He’s attentive and ensured that we had sufficient time for photo taking and visit inside the castle. A good alternative if you don’t manage to book the castle ticket in advance like what happened to me.”

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

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

“This experience was a relaxing way to see the castle with a variety of options. The bike ride was the most enjoyable part for me. (I probably would have even liked a longer ride). The efficiency re: ordering lunch was well done along with the castle tickets. The hike to the castle was strenuous but that was conveyed prior. Tyler did a great job with the commentary (not too much but just enough). The group was not too big although the coach could take more but that might be too many. I did not go inside the castle as our main view was to be in the countryside outside Munich.…”

Review of the Neuschwanstein Castle audio tour in Füssen, with honest advice on tickets, timing, walking, cost, views, and value.

“We booked a tour of Neuschwanstein Castle with Bavarian Castle Tour through Viator. It was easy to do and we received instructions for how to pick up the tickets a couple of days before the tour. When we arrived at the location, it was easy to park our car. We met Lahdo, who gave us our tickets and a map. He told us where and how much it would be to park, how much the bus ride to the bridge and where to catch it. He was patient and made the process much easier than if we had booked the tickets from the website and tried to figure it out…”
