I only booked through you guys because I couldn't get tickets any other way with short notice. Two out of three of us had already toured the castle a few years ago and were not looking forward to having to go through a tour company. WE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG! Our guide Stephen Wendell was FABULOUS and told us new facts about the history of the place that were fascinating and new to us. I only wish he could have given the inside tour as well! Stephen handled everything with skill and good humor. This tour was very organized and a pleasure to be a part of. I would not hesitate to book through you guys again in the future.

It was great experience that we could see the castle from the Mary bridge, best spot to take pictures of the castle. As well, the scenery looking from inside the castle was gorgeous, but too bad that we were not allowed to take pictures inside the castle. Appreciate the tour guide provided detail information and map that helped us to reach the castle in time, but it was too rush to head back to the bus after visiting the castle. The horse carriage was not a good option to go back, the tour guide should have told us.

it was a wonderful event! We met the guide at the appointed time and went up to the observation deck above the castle by bus. Then we listened to interesting stories about the creation of the castle and stopped at incredibly beautiful places on the way to the castle. Special thanks to the guide, it was educational and fun. After the tour of the castle, we went down on a horse-drawn carriage. Thank you for this fairy tale!

What a wonderful tour of the fairytale castle! Our guide Stephen was terrific and extremely knowledgeable. The bus ride, short hike, trip to the bridge, and then tour it through the castle. We're all wonderful. Highly recommend!

We bought tickets in advance for a specific timeslot, so no queues and tour was with audioguide (more language options available). The castle is enormous, beautiful, with lot of interesting decorations. I loved the "cinema" at the end, where we learned more about the history and historically planned constructions, which were never done.

My family of 4 from America had an outstanding time! On our trip through Europe, this tour was our top highlight. Everything went smoothly, the bus was comfortable, and our tour guide Christine was awesome. She had snacks and drinks readily available, and we met some really great people on our tour. I honestly can't say enough great things.

Our tour guide Stephen told us a lot of interesting things about the history of the royal family around Ludwig II, with amusing details. Marveling at and visiting the castle in the bright sunshine was very impressive. But the carriage ride was also great.
