Awesome tour!
Big bus tour but very informative and organized. Did not feel rushed at either location. Our guide spoke a perfect amount on the bus to give us history but was not overwhelming. She waited for us at entrances to both palace and castle to make sure we got in okay. Inside these locations they had their own tours. Don’t miss these castles!

Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castle Day Trip from Munich
A bucket list visit to Neuschwanstein Castle, which was a delight. Linderhof Castle was equally impressive and an added bonus of a drive through Oberammergau made for a very special day. Christine was a warm and generous hostess.
Lovely Bavarian Castle Trip!

Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castle Day Trip from Munich
Had a fantastic day in Bavaria with friends. The arrangement was excellent, the bus was clean and air-conditioned. The tourist guide Kristine was friendly and knowledgeable. We spent and amazing time in Linderhof and around the Nueschwanstien castle. The scenery is out of this world. I wish the speaker was a bit louder :)

Private Neuschwanstein Castle skip the line Tour in Mercedes Van
First, I've done several private day tours before and this was by far one of the best experiences I've ever had. Aiman was absolutely amazing, so kind and knowledgeable and just the right amount of information. Aiman was on time, presented a very clean and comfortable ride and even stayed late in the day with us to accommodate a request. We saw beautiful places and had a very memorable day, highlight of our 12 day European trip. I highly recommend Aiman and this tour.

Neuschwanstein & Hohenschwangau Castle Private Skip-the-Crowds Tour from Munich
Thomas was the best guide we’ve ever had! We loved our day trip! We got the customized tour we wanted that allowed us to move at our own pace. Thomas was very knowledgeable, and we loved the village he took us to after the castle. We also liked the added safety of having Thomas with us. Favorite tour! We hope to do more with this company!
Two castles at a decent price.

Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace Day Tour from Munich
This was a wonderful family trip. The bus was clean and comfortable. You were told some background on the drive. The castle stop Time seemed a bit rushed. Be prepared with extra cash, stairs and a lot of walking. A great alternative to having to rent a car.
The highlight of our time in Munich!
