    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.

    I did realize that I was purchasing the tickets through this website. I thought I was buying them directly from the castle website. I overpaid because I could not use the other services. Since we were staying at the hotel right next to the castle. I was not allowed to cancel the transaction after it was done. So for 4 people I ended up paying over $250 Cdn instead of approx $146.Cdn. I would not use this site again because you do not have the opportunity to cancel once booked.

    The tour experience was indeed awesome. We were travelling with a 7 month old baby and were unsure how a 10 hour tour would turn out - esp. in rainy & windy conditions. However, the bus was clean and well equipped, the tour guide was really helpful and the other fellow passengers were also great. We were given snacks & drinks at regular intervals, and the tour guide kept sharing a lot of information about the history of Munich and the two castles throughout the journey. Overall, it was a fun day and would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
