Wonderful day

Aimee_L, Jun 2026

Great trip, and great customer service when we ha d to suddenly change days after the 24hr period w as past as we had an unfortunate major train dela y. Our guide Joachim was fantastic and informative and the driver great as well. We ended up seeing Linderhof and Neuschwanstein on the re booked tour.

Nice drive with some...

Nice drive with some interesting information. They did a good job of providing the timing expectations for the tickets. We had plenty of time to eat and explore between castles. The castle tours were not too crowded.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thanks (belated, though) for your 5 star rating. We are happy when you felt well taken care of!

Good times!

Great time seeing two castle in one stop. Nice to sit back, relax, and let the company figure out the logistics. The bus had nice AC and a lot of space. I’d highly recommend it!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

The Castles of King Ludwig II

We were originally booked on this tour, but a day before we were informed that the tour was cancelled. We were offered a VIP tour of Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castles instead at no extra cost which we accepted because we had no other options. While we were disappointed not to be going to Hohenschwangau, Linderhof didn’t disappoint and we did get to see the exterior of Hohenschwangau from Neuschwanstein. Our guide, Christine, was wonderful as was our driver, Agron. The local guide at Linderhof, Frederick, was very knowledgeable and interesting. The grounds are beautiful with statuary, gardens, and a water feature. It’s the smallest of the three castles but probably the most opulent. Neuschwanstein, besides being beautiful exteriorly, is well appointed in the interior. Our only disappointment was that the tour of the castle went too quickly and a lot of the items in the rooms were not explained and we seemed to rush through the rooms. Of course, there were many tours at the castle, so one can understand that much time can’t be taken in each room, but we just would have liked a bit more time. There’s plenty of walking on this tour, some hills and a lot of steps so wear comfortable shoes! The ride from Munich took us through some beautiful Alpine scenery and we even had a drive through Oberammagau and saw the murals painted on the houses there. Charming.
