“Amazing tour. A must do. A real show stopper castle with amazing views. Well organised ticketing. Well organised handset tour. ‘Get your guide’ is basically a ticket tout selling at double normal price but if you’re struggling to get tickets in a limited time and have left it too late to get on official website then it’s worth doing as a one off.

If you’re visiting both castles ie Hohenschwangu you…”

Therefore, it was worth it to spend the extra money to have the experience.”

After, he was extremely flexible allowing us extra time to wander after lunch. Our tour went a little over…”
