There is a significant amount of information one should have to prepare for actually getting to the castle. No where was it written that one had to park on the bottom of the hill, obtain a bus (which sat for 15 minutes without a driver), or a horse ride or walk up the hill. We arrived at 20 minutes before start time yet actually did not get to the castle until 5-10 minutes after start time. Unnecessarily stressful. Walk from bus stop to castle turned into a run. All of this should be addressed on your website.

We loved our guide, Amir Saad, that had so much passion for history! We had a rainy, foggy day but we made the best of it. We were SO disappointed that the castle tour was so brief. The castle guide should have had a light to shine or a red dot pointer to the things he was pointing out to us to look at. Paying $57.50 EU was a lot for a tour but we were afraid that we couldn't get into the castle after planning our whole trip around it so that part was worth it.

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 1900Rosa

The castle is beautiful. On the other hand, the visit is a rush, so you can't really appreciate the beauty of the place. That's a shame.
