Our tour guide on the bus ( she s from Canada..forgot her name) was fantastic. She gave clear instructions from start to finish and really it was so well organized. 👏 the tour was well planned and totally worth the money. The guided visits at the castles were very informative and the way they were presented familiarized us very well with the history and culture of Bavaria. ALSO THE driver that day drove us safely to our destination despite the snow. I will do this again in a heartbeat!! Thanks for offering a great well planned visit.

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.

The guide Cansel and the driver made our trip an unforgettable experience. We learned many details of the Bavarian region that were not related to the castles, they even taught us some words in the Bavarian dialect. Highly recommended, not to be missed.
