★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7,275 reviews · 10 hours · from $95

Review of Munich’s Neuschwanstein and Linderhof castle tour, with transport, timing, ticket costs, walking demands, and practical booking advice.

“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 the Neuschwanstein Castle tour from Munich, with transport, guide quality, walking demands, costs, views, and booking advice.

“Lovely one day trip through the Bavarian Alps to Neuschwanstein Castle. Plenty of opportunities for great photos outside of the castle and the immediate surroundings. Good spots for food, drink, and souvenirs. Was happy to learn that there's a bus that takes you up the hill to the castle entry point, so it's possible for all ages to participate. There are still a fair number of steps inside of the castle, so visitors need to keep that in mind.”

As we had a small group he made sure that everyone got to branch off and do what they wanted but also had the option to stay with him as he took us around. The castle is amazing, and we opted to go in which was so worth it! Would highly recommend”

“Excellent tour, fantastic driver, guide, snacks and drinks. EXTREMELY comfortable bus with extra large seats and area to hold drinks, snacks, bags and coats. Only thing I need to mention is about Neuwschwestein castle. It is difficult for those with knee, hip or foot issues. Many stairs and steep inclines to go up and back down *even if you take the bus to the bridge and the horse and buggy back down. It doesn't cover the entire distance.”

“Excellent view, nice history and story about King Ludwig and his father and family, my guide was knowledgeable and kind, he shared many trivial knowledge about places we passed through. Overall great experience! Definitely something that I could brag about to my friends “I biked around the Alps!” However, the choice explanation at the beginning was not clear about whether all of us are going to choose either to bike and swim or do the castle tour. Apparently we got the chance to swim and bike around great view, and in the end optional entry to castle with extra fee around €23(?). There was a choice to hike to the…”
