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.

The tour was very well organized: - pick-up point was clearly visible - we were guided to the proper bus quickly - our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and kept to the schedule - the bus was comfortable for the entire day - the schedule was packed but there was enough time for the guided tours and some exploration - everything went as it should go

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

The kindness and clarity of the information provided by our guide, Muhammad, as well as his adherence to the itinerary and, of course, the spectacular Linderhof and Neuschwanstein castles

A truly unique experience! From the outside, the castle looks like something out of a fairy tale! Inside, however, it surpasses anything you could imagine! Everything is simply amazing! Unfortunately, filming is not allowed inside the castle!
