What an enlightening experience! I've taken the "normal" tour of Neuchwanstein and learned one tenth of what I did on this guided tour. Thoroughly enjoyable!

The tour and guide were outstanding. Even with the fog, the stories and tour was well worth the money. And we WILL book again...(when it's not so foggy). Thanks!

We got the tickets last minute when we found out that you can't get inside the castle without a guided tour. We are so glad we did!!! Our tour guide Stephen was exceptionally knowledgeable about the castle's history and had tons of fun facts and stories. In addition he was very friendly and gave us insider information about where to take pictures and how to best navigate the castle once inside. The carriage ride at the end was amazing as well.
