The sites visited were very interesting. Timing was very good and the guide was very informative. Very comfortable bus and good value for money. Will certainly recommend.

If you go to Munich you most take this tour, great experience! Stunning castles and the beautiful village of Oberammergau where is located the house of Hansel and Gretel. Very friendly staff and you can take it in your languagge.

I went here with my family just a couple of days ago and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had! The tour was super organized and neat, and our guide was super informative and kind. You will learn a lot of history about the castle and the king and you’ll see so many breathtaking sights, but be prepared for a lot of walking. At the Neuschwansteinstein castle you can take a bus or horse carriage the quarters up and walk fifteen minutes, so that’s just a little pointer. The bridge where you can see the view is pretty crowded, so be patient and you’ll get an amazing picture because it’ll clear up eventually. You have plenty of time to catch a bite for lunch in the village and the walk to Lake Alpsee is super short and pleasant. I definitely recommend this trip to anyone, and it’s also very family friendly :)

Would not recommend this trip. Either go on your own so you have enough time to see all the castles or skip it. Neuschwanstein castle, I was returning after being there 20 years ago and was disappointed in how commercialized it has become. Felt like cattle herded through. AND it would have been nice to know that it was under construction and the essence of the rooms would be covered due to construction and only seen by small photographs posted. LInderhof was very rushed with no time to see the area or appreciate even going there. Could have skipped the town trip to see both castles at the Neuschwanstein location.Sorry not happy at all.

Exptremely well done tour. Great use of time visiting three sites and having plenty of time at the castle. I would highly recommend this tour. Bus accommodations were so comfortable and well planned for everyone to sit with their party.

What an amazing tour - a must do if you are in the Munich area. Really very beautiful and informative.

I've been to both places a couple times each in the 80s. These were watered down somewhat but still interesting._br/_ Neuschwanstein requires a good deal of walking. The weather was marginal, overcast. This place should not be missed when in southern Germany. Ursula, our tour guide, was interesting, knowledgeable and her English was excellent._br/_ Also stopped in Oberammergau. Not enough time to really enjoy the place._br/_ Easy to find pick up and drop off location directly in front of the train station.

This is another tour we want to do again. So nice. Lucy was amazing guide. Highly recommended. If you are in Munich for a short time and mingle with royals, this is the way to do it.

This was a bucket list item that has been checked off - an amazing experience visiting the castle and an enjoyable tour overall.

This day was number one for us. Our tour guide Christine was fantastic giving us all the necessary information and managing tour tickets well. We arrived at the meeting point 30 minutes early and due to many tours going that day once a bus was full they left. Our bus driver was great._br/_ The inside castle tours were not included in the price so bring some cash if you wish to do them. 25 pp Both castles are well worth it but also require lots of walking and stairs. Some people on our tour chose not to take the tours but still enjoyed viewing the castles._br/_ Our first stop was Linderhof castle and we were given time before our tour to look around the garden. A 40minute stop at Oberammergau for a quick. Look around and the chance to buy a snack for us really wasnt long enough but we understand to fit it all in this is all the time allowed. The highlight is Neuschwanstein castle which really is a fairytale castle. We had time to look around and get ourselves to the top ready for our tour. We took the shuttle bus to the top to make it a bit easier as it is very steep. The shuttle bus drivers cram them into the buses and dont drive overly carefully..... the view from the bridge of the castle is worth seeing but often there is a big line up to do so so do it as soon as you get off the shuttle bus._br/_ The tours inside the castles were fascinating and worth doing if you can._br/_ On the way back to Munich we all sat back and relaxed after a busy 10hours day.

Our day happened to fall on a national Holiday something similar to Labor day or Memorial day here. We encountered a heavy traffic on the autobahn and got to both locations late! Basically got rushed through both venues. That said, both spots were most beautiful and memorable.

Great tour, would definitely do it again
Review by: Kaitlin K, April 2018
This tour was great! A full day of seeing castles and beautiful landscapes! This was a great way to see some of Ludwig's famous structures without having to worry about waiting in line for tickets or the transportation to get there!

Stunning castle. Nice coach ride stopping in a few locations for wandering/exploring. The castle was fantastic and a nice hike up to it for the fitter people or horse drawn carriage for the rest. Only downside was the weather but what can you do. Recommended

This tour far exceeded our expectations. Comfortable coach ride. Beautiful scenery along the way. A huge bonus was the snow which made the day even more magical. And two absolutely stunning Castles to explore. Loved it.

My husband and I loved, loved this trip. We are in our early forties and we are active people- let me tell you that you need to believe people when they say there is a steep walk! So worth it! Also- we went inside the castle and I would highly recommend doing that. I mean, do you want to walk all that way up the hill and not even go inside!!!
Review by: Christina N, April 2018
We had a brand new bus, which was very nice but our tour guide was awful. It was her first day, so I feel badly being so harsh, but she could barely keep her train of thought so it was unclear if she was having trouble translating her thoughts to English or if she honestly knows nothing about the history that she was sharing with us. She did have a supervisor experienced tour guide with her who had to jump in and help at the end honestly, I wish she had jumped in sooner so that we could have learned something before actually visiting the castles instead of learning them on the way home. That said, the castles themselves were wonderful and the surrounding landscape was breathtaking. It is absolutely a trip you should take, but if you're brave enough, you may want to drive to them on your own so that you can pace yourself. But, it was great to have a bus to just handle driving you there, purchasing tickets, keeping time, etc. The city of Oberammergau was charming, but is a total tourist trap and you don't have long enough to sit and get a drink we would have rather had more time at Neuschwanstein than stopping there. But overall, nice bus, stress-free and an absolutely beautiful place to visit. Glad we went just unfortunate that we had a new tour guide. But I guess, she had to learn sometime - just too bad it was on us.
