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

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

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

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

Great tour. Our guide, Amir was really nice, and great at getting people´s attention and interest them in the history of the castle. He has a really vast knowlege of subject to the very last detail. The overall tour is maybe a bit too long (3h) despite the fact that we can only be inside the castle for aprox. 30min. but it's a nice walk through the woods around it. The only negative thing is that after you leave the Headout tour and are inside the castle for the official tour you are treated like a sheep in a fast moving herd, getting hurried past rooms to alow for another paying mob to get in. Inside there is a no photo policy and the museum's security is really anoying and agressive trying to catch visitors taking sneaky photos. Threatening that they will be kicked out!

The guide outside of the castle was fabulous and presented each part of the tour almost as another chapter of a story. Imir was fabulous!

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!

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.

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!

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!

Amir was a great guide with an impressive knowledge of the historical context. Many thanks, Uwe + Bettina

Great tourguide, a lot of knowledge. Up with the bus, down with the horses. Enough time inside, fairytale castle.

Super tour guide, lots of explanations, funny and entertaining
