Jovo was our guide and he was excellent. The small group setting made our tour very personal. The cost was exceptional for the overall experience. The castle is exactly as it has been described..... a fairytale. The most beautiful countryside, landscape and castle. I would most definately recommend this tour. About a 2.5 hour bus trip from Munich, but the coach was luxurious, the commentary funny and interesting and you had the entire day to explore the surrounding grounds, lake, paths, bridge and waterfall and of course the castle. I loved every minute!

Came with my family to see this castle, i was amazed by the history of the Bayern dynasty as well as the architectural prowess achieved by Ludwig II, the fact that Wagner is involved in all of this makes even more thrilling and epic everything the paintings the music makes this an unique experience. I was lucky to have Luis Lopez as spanish guide who was very enthusiastic and eloquent about the history of the castle and it's inhabitants back on 1800.

We enjoyed ourselves, despite the rainy day. The tour bus was very comfortable and everything was very easy. Veronika was our guide and she did a great job. We also loved the freedom to do some of the tour independently, not needing to always be in the larger group. The only trick at all was finding the tour, which we did by asking around at Hoptbanhof. Do be aware you need to go to the back of the ground-level train area to find the Radius Tour office to check in!

We had a great day with Jax, our tour guide on this tour. He broke up the 40 minute walk up to the castle, by stopping 5 times and explaining the history of the castle and King Ludwig. Some free time to enjoy the area too.

I am giving this 3 stars because I am comparing it with my previous years ago, when you can walk around the castle comfortable and have the luxury of taking your time marveling at the details of the eccentric taste of King Ludwig. Because again, now there are loads of Chinese bus and now the bus goes all the way up, unlike before you walk uphill to get there _br/_ But even if I already visited this many years ago it was still interesting for me as I have learned new things, thru our guide Justin, he was great with all the facts and stories he shared about Ludwig and the castle thru his witty and unconventional story telling style.

AWESOME!! I would highly recommend this one, I believe our tour guide's name was Adam? He knew a lot of background information and was knowledgeable on King Ludwig II.

What an amazing time and a wonderful guide.

Guide was great, very knowledgeable. Trip was well worth the expense and time. Much walking unless you use the horse and carriage. Only problem worth noting is that we had to change trains on the way back to Munich which made the entire trip over 10 hours.

The only minus was that the front was under maintenance.

It was a great day out to see the castle.
Review by: Roman, April 2018
Our tour guide was both, knowledgeable and fun. Very funny, to be precise. The castle is stunning, the inner tour was rather too short and the castle’s own guide (not the same as the tour guide) was just ok._br/_ Tour recommendable for families with teenage kids and individual young travelers.

Great tour. _br/_ Definitely a must see._br/_ Best part was out guide - Jeff._br/_ Very knowledgeable and entertaining._br/_ Had a nice trick for keep the train car as private as possible from daily commuters._br/_ Comfortable train ride with not too many stops._br/_ Be advised a lot of uphill walking for those not accustomed to long walks._br/_ The tour runs like a German train. Basically 5 minutes in each room of the tour_br/_ Very efficient, but very little time to explore or study the artifacts inside.

We booked the trip to the castle at the end of March. It was a mistake. We could not do the mountain path to get the famous view of the castle due to snow on the path. Petra the guide was helpful. Unfortunately trip was disappointing as we don't have any lovely photos of the castle for keepsake. Can't blame the tour operator for the weather but perhaps to advice visitors what to expect prior to booking.

Our tour guide Verena was excellent. She was raised in Munich and had a tremendous amount of knowledge, she shared great information on the history of Neuschwanstein and King Ludwig. She interacted with everyone in our group and connected with everyone on the train ride home to answer all their questions. She was simply the bestrecommend highly!

Neuschwanstein Castle was the highlight of our trip! It was a dream come true for me...something that has been on my bucket list for years. Dan and Thomas were our tour guides and they were awesome! We split into 2 groups of 20 which was a perfect number for each group. They were extremely knowledgeable with the history of the castle. I am a very slow walker and I told them before we hiked up the steep hill. They gave the option of taking the carriage, but I opted to walk later regretting it. They took numerous stops along the way and filled everyone in on more history as we all caught or breath. The last bit was the hardest for me, but Dan always made sure I was not forgotten even when I had to lag behind a little. We tipped him at the end of the tour but most people walked away and didn't even thank them. Please, please be considerate of your guides and at least thank them if not give them a little tip. I would highly recommend this trip and this company. If I ever get the chance to go again, I would use this company and request these 2 tour guides. Thank you so much!
