Exactly what I was looking for. Met up at Munich station and the tour guide guided us there with no problems. First plan 30 min train ride then drive the rest of the way. Tour was great (the castle gives you a listening device that you must use). The tour itself was a little short but nothing you can do about that. After the tour was over we had a 20-30 min to walk around and do whatever. Then met back up with the tour guide and he took us to the train station that got us back to Munich. It was great having someone get you from point A to Point B and then back to point A, especially as someone from the US that doesn’t speak German and don’t know how the trains work here!

This day tour was an experience to remember! Our driver was friendly and approachable, but he also shared lots of information about the castle and its history. The castle itself was breathtaking and the surrounding landscape felt like something out of a storybook. I highly recommend!

I am reviewing “Skip-the-Line Day Tour from Munich to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau”. The tour doesn’t include the Hohenschwangau Castle (despite the wording in the title) other than that you can see it from a distance because the 2 castles are nearby, sort of across from one another). That was enough for us. After reviewing how to get to Neuschwanstein on my own (complicated & difficult to time right for entry to the castle), I decided to book this tour. It’s practical and quick - what you’re paying for is efficient transportation to and from and your entry ticket. Other than that, the tour is just the one offered by the castle (same as everyone else who goes). The guides don’t stay with you, they take you to and from, and you take a bus and walk up to the castle and do the castle’s own guided audio tour by yourself. You can also get this tour for about $38 pp cheaper on the tour operator’s website (Bavarian Castle Tours). When I requested the “low price guarantee” difference, they reimbursed me, then took it back and canceled my tour… I re-booked and ultimately got the difference once in Europe where the currency is euros as on the German site. We enjoyed seeing the castle and the transportation went smoothly. We felt the company really has it down to a science with perfect timing. We didn’t really have enough time for lunch (as others have noted) but brought snacks and bought some warm Quarkbällchen donuts on the walk down from the castle- delicious! A great day, despite an early start, and back to Munich by 3PM - with time to do other things!

This was a great way to get to the castle. The Castle was magnificent, tour was audio but cool inside the castle tour only takes about 25 minutes. We road bus up to the castle and walked back down. It’s the way to do the up and down to the castle. Trip started at 7:15 and we were back in Munich by 1:45 giving you the rest of the day to spend in town.

Neuschwanstein is a must see place. Very lovely scenery especially we went during the winter season and you can see the beauty of the castle. Also, the tour guide (Lahdo) is nice as well.
