Our tour of Neuschwanstein was excellent! Cansel, our tour guide, was a wealth of information, and very sweet. She really made the trip fantastic, and Tony, our bus driver, gave us a super smooth ride. We did notice some negative comments here that we feel require rebuttal. We saw someone complain that they paid more than some other people on the bus, and another complaint that the castle tour was not included in their ticket. We found it very clear that pricing was à la carte, with different available levels. We chose the bus transportation with skip the line tickets to both Neuschwanstein and Linderhof castles, but did not select the highest level that included drinks and snacks. So we were not the least bit bothered by the fact that people who did pay extra got food and drink, and we didn't, because we didn't pay for it (we did opt to pay for drinks on the bus, as they were available for purchase). Cansel could clearly see on our reservation that our tickets to both castles were included, and she provided them with no problem. Other people who were with us who had chosen not to buy those tickets in advance were able to pay on the bus. We see no problem with this, it was all very transparent, clear, and upfront. People complaining that they got less or paid more than someone else clearly didn't understand the booking process. We have zero complaint about how everything was handled, and had an amazing 10-hour tour that we will never forget.Brian

What an amazing time. Lots of walking, but completely worth it. The bus ride was pleasant and our guide Cansel was great. The castle was a sight to see and an experience of a lifetime.Florida

It was simple and easy to buy tickets with headout. The instructions for the meeting point were very specific and easy to follow. The tour guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour in particular because the views from the bus were stunning and the combination of visiting Linderhof and Neuschwanstein was definitely worth it, both were stunning. The bus left at 0900 and was a couple of hours to Linderhof palace. We were given some time to admire the grounds before the tour started. It's a small palace but makes up for it in beauty on the inside, the ammount of marble and ornate decorations was impressive. We then got back on the bus and drove another hour to Hohenschwangau, the town where Neuschwanstein is. When we arrived we were given our tickets and time for our tour, we had a few hours to explore the town and get some lunch. The tour was wonderful and we were given an audio guide to listen to the information about each room. After the tour we got back on the bus to Munich and were dropped off at around 1900
