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!

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!

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.
