From Hohenschwangau: Skip-The-Line Ticket to Neuschwanstein Castle with a Guide

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!

Carolyn was a wonderful guide. Her knowledge of history and storytelling skills were excellent. The tour was just the right length.

The amazing castle and its surrounding beautiful scenery with changing color trees, distant lakes, blue sky- it is a dream castle with surrounding beauties right before my eyes.

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.

The guided tour was great in itself, BUT when we bought the ticket it said "from Hohenschwangau" and we couldn't get closer than 700m as the crow flies from a viewpoint. We assumed that with a 3-hour tour and at the price, we would actually be allowed to visit both castles. We were basically held up for 2.5 hours with views until the actual guided tour of Neuschwanstein took place. Before that, we walked through everything again that we had already walked through the day before for free. Only with a guide who had lots of (really great) information about the castles and the royal family. If it says "from Hohenschwangau" in the description, I would at least have liked to have been on the grounds of the castle.....

Tour guide Steven gave us a lot of information, we found him very personable, the tour was very interesting overall

Great tour guide, knew a lot about the history of Germany/Ludwig. Our guide was Stephen. Despite the very bad weather (continuous rain) we enjoyed the day. Audio tour in Dutch, which was extra nice. Beautiful castle, inside and out.

I loved everything. Big thanks to out guide tour Stephen. He was really good teaching us about the history of the castle, very friendly. Big thanks

Caroline was delightful, her monologue about the castle was interesting and enjoyable. The castle was amazing, nice to have the carriage ride down. It was a wonderful experience!

It was wonderful to have an English speaking guide, Steven, that we could completely understand and that was so knowledgeable! He covered the history incredibly well and answered our questions. Was super helpful getting us to all the places we needed to be on time.

Our tourguide, Steve, was wonderful. I enjoyed his many stories before and after the castle tour. And absolutely loved the tour of Neuschwanstein ... wish we got to see MORE of the castle!

Our guide was very competent and friendly. Everything was well organized and varied (return journey by coach). Many thanks

The tour was very clear and interesting and also made historical, cultural and artistic connections. It's a shame that inside the castle you are drilled like on a treadmill. The explanations of the next room often started while we were still standing in the room in front of it and couldn't go any further because there were other visitors ahead of us.

The guide Caroline was very funny and told interesting details about the castle and Ludwig the second. I found the tour of the castle a tad disappointing: although it was not crowded, it was apparently the job of the guide inside the castle to get us out of the castle as quickly as possible. You get very little time to see a small part of such a huge castle and then you are thoroughly worked out through the gift shop. Too bad!

The guide Stephen was great! The castle and the stories that were told were very exciting, dramatic but also funny

Directions were easy to follow. Our guide Caroline was incredible, and we heard great stories about the castle.

Great guide- loved the historical background and added stories.

The guide was great! The organization was excellent.

Stephen the guide was excellent, knowledgeable, humorous, made sure we were on time. He makes the trip interesting.
