We loved our tour with Stephen, an amazing guide who had a fantastic energy and plenty of interesting stories to share. Much more interesting than the audioguide rushed tour inside the palace. Thanks to him he made this a true appreciative experience and we actually learned many things about the castle and Ludwig. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to visit the castle.

    Stephen was an amazing tour guide who was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and kept things moving at a good pace. He was happy to answer any questions we had and I learned a lot about King Ludwig and his castles! We particularly enjoyed the story about the dragon with the crown of the Hohenschwangau castle on his head

    Our guide, Amir, was enthusiastic and engaging with so much knowledge of the history surrounding this site. Hard to believe that we were at the most visited castle in Europe because the tour was so smooth and well executed!
