“If you go in the winter pray that it's clear weather wise. For us it was a winter wonderland and so beautiful. The scenery is amazing and the castles are beautiful. How Ludvig built them in those days just makes you wonder how, due to the location! But, they're there for all to see and appreciate. Please go and see them!”

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

“This is a full day with a bus ride through the beautiful countryside to Swangau. Tyler, the guide is excellent. Bike ride was flat and easy but I would definitely suggest wearing very good tennis shoes for the walk “hike” up to the castle. We are in great shape and it was tough for us. There is a bus to take you to the top if you prefer. I would Absolutely recommend this tour.”

Review of Neuschwanstein Castle entry ticket with audio guide, practical timing advice, transport tips, costs, and honest value assessment.

“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. Must visit mariebrucker bridge to take photos. If you get an early tour do that first as it gets busy. I recommend a bus to the bridge. Then it’s a 10 minute walk from there. Then walk back down. If you’re visiting both castles ie Hohenschwangu you…”

“Follow directions for time of ticket entry, get there early. The experience was wonderful, beautiful castle and grounds. Buying the tickets directly from the castle is much cheaper, in our case they were sold out for the day we wanted to attend. Therefore, it was worth it to spend the extra money to have the experience.”

Review of the Frankfurt Super Saver to Neuschwanstein Castle and Rothenburg, with honest advice on timing, value, walking, and long drives.

“It is not what they say, you are hiring a driver (hugh profesional, no problems with the driver) not a guide. I reach there and I had to wait in a Hotel reception around 3 hours before I get the entrance, and the entrance time was still 2 hours in advance, So I lost 5 hours of the trip just waiting plus 8 hours travel means that I lost 13 hours of the trip and just enjoyed one in the castle. Of course, forget about going to Rothenburg, we where completely out of time by thime I leave the castle. I paid almost 300€, for a one hour visit worth…”
