“This was the perfect solution for us as the castle tours were sold out for the date we needed. They were even able to get us a time slot different than what was advertised because we had booked the other castle tour unknowing that the timing wouldn’t work out. We were so grateful that they helped us figure it out! Highly recommend!”

3.From Hohenschwangau: Tour to Neuschwanstein Castle

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 693 reviews · 3 hours · from $74

Meet your English-speaking guide at Hohenschwangau’s P3 parking lot for a three-hour visit to Neuschwanstein. You’ll ride to Mary’s Bridge when operating, walk to the castle, hear stories about Ludwig II, and return by horse carriage when available. Guides include Stephen, Steven, Amir, and Caroline.

“Our tour guide Amir was knowledgeable and very well spoken. The meeting point is clearly marked and he initiated the tour by explaining what was going to happen throughout our tour and things to be aware of. We had plenty of time to take nice photos at the best spots. If you can’t manage to buy tickets directly from the Castle’s website this is a your best choice as lines are crazy and available is limited. We took a horse ride back to the parking lot zone that was very pleasant. Overall I think this is a good deal for a nice day trip!”
