Everything went smoothly. We had a great day exploring the Neuschwanstein Castle. Thank you and highly recommended!

Beautiful day trip to a beautiful town! We picked up the tickets before our guided tour inside the castle. Then took the bus to the village and attended the guided tour inside the castle. Everything went perfect.

I expected a lot more visitors for this time of the year, so it was less crowded and just a fantastic day!
Kathe_H, Aug 2026
Everything went perfect and it wasn’t as crowded as we thought. The tour inside the castle could be longer.

We reserved tickets, collected them in store
in Füssen with all the instructions given, arrived on time and had an absolutely fabulous experience. If you don’t mind paying extra, this is definitely the place to book!
Desiree_F, Aug 2026
All normal tickets where unailable so this was a (more expensive) option to still be able to see the castle.
You have to drive to Fussen first to pick up the tickets, by mail would have been easier but we had a good explain from the person behind the counter.

Very disappointing experience. We paid around €140 for tickets that cost approximately €52 directly from the official Neuschwanstein website — almost three times the price. Tickets were even still available on the official website on the day of our visit.
The supposed “added value” was essentially a small map/travel guide, while the audio guide and admission were already included in the official price. Even Viator acknowledged that this added value could not reasonably explain the huge price difference, yet refused to honor their Low Price Guarantee.
Charging nearly 3× the official price and then hiding behind a booklet/map to justify it feels extremely misleading. We certainly won’t use Viator again and will be referring the matter to consumer protection.

Thank you for your feedback.
Your reservation was made less than 12 hours before the scheduled start of the experience, at a time when Neuschwanstein Castle was already sold out through the regular channels
Then, your cancellation request was submitted approximately 8 hours after you made the booking. By that time, the admission tickets had already been purchased specifically on your behalf, allocated to your reservation, and were available for collection. At that stage, the booking could therefore no longer be cancelled or refunded.
We understand that the disappointment expressed here may largely result from an urgent, last-minute booking followed by a cancellation request several hours later, at which point the tickets had already been secured.
The price of our product is clearly displayed before purchase and is not presented as being identical to the castle's direct admission price. Customers are, of course, free to purchase directly from the official ticket office whenever tickets are available. Our service is a third-party reservation product with its own pricing and additional services.
We regret that the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we do not believe it is accurate to describe the pricing as hidden or misleading, as the full price and included services were clearly disclosed before the booking was confirmed.

We stayed in Füssen for the weekend and decided to book our tickets here! Convenient pick up in store in Füssen before heading to the castle.

It is unmissable. Every minute is worth it for the landscape, the castle, and the positive energy of that place.

Everything went well! For questions, the employee was also available online, since I could not open the digital map at first.

Traffic, very long wait times for buses... They force you to go through another town before heading to the castle just to pick up the paper tickets. Terrible customer service, they never answer. We arrived 30 minutes late and they did not let us in. Many families in our situation with children in tears did not want to hear anything. We lost the tickets and went back without visiting the castle.

Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you were ultimately unable to visit Neuschwanstein Castle. However, we would like to clarify that the missed admission was the result of the provided instructions not being followed.
The ticket collection location and the required timing are clearly stated in the product information and booking instructions. In addition, we specifically contacted you to alert you that your ticket collection was already late and that arriving on time was essential in order to reach the castle for your scheduled admission.
Unfortunately, despite both the written information and our additional warning, you arrived approximately 30 minutes late. Admission times at Neuschwanstein Castle are fixed, and once the scheduled entry time has been missed, the castle administration does not permit late admission. This is outside our control, and we are unable to make exceptions on their behalf.
We understand that traffic and public transportation delays can be frustrating. However, sufficient travel time and compliance with the clearly communicated collection and admission instructions remain the responsibility of the visitor.
We therefore cannot agree with the suggestion that this situation resulted from poor customer service. The necessary information was provided in writing, and an additional warning regarding the late ticket collection was communicated. Unfortunately, the scheduled admission was missed because these instructions and timings were not followed.

Positive experience, instructions on ticket pickup and arrival at the castle very clear. Recommended.

Everything worked well - but the ticket shop should definitely be better marked on Bahnhofstraße. The ladies from the other shop do not help because it is the competition, even though both shops are located almost next to each other. - You have to take the FC Bayern shop, then everything works great!

Very interesting and it is very well organized. I would do it again without hesitation. They give you an audio guide that is very easy to use and only activates in the places where it should be activated.

I didn't have any problems with the tour operator, neither for picking up the tickets nor for using the app or anything else. The visit to the castle, however, was a big disappointment. The duration is 30 minutes; you see about fifteen rooms. The audio guide is operated by the group leader; each group is made up of 35-40 people, and the groups enter every five minutes. So you don't have time to see things well, nor to linger to observe or go back to see a detail you missed. Furthermore, you can't even take photos in the castle, and it's a shame because the interiors are truly beautiful. In my opinion, however, it's not worth the money spent, considering that there were four of us, two adults and two children, to which you have to add €12 for parking, €32 for the carriage ride (our choice, obviously), and a whopping €9 for two half-liter bottles of water. Basically $180 for a 30-minute visit; hence my huge disappointment. I expected more parts of the castle to be visitable, or at least that we could also access the towers to enjoy the view.

Magnificent castle, too bad you cannot take any photos of the interiors.
Very poorly explained how to pick up the tickets which are located 15 minutes by car from the castle.

We paid 96. Euros and we were told on site that the tickets had been canceled. No money was returned either. We were only able to visit the castle because we bought tickets directly at the castle on site without queuing and without waiting. For 42.Euros
