The entrance fee to the castle is not included (you can pay on the day), but by booking this tour in advance, you’ll receive skip-the-line access to Neuschwanstein so you won’t waste time standing in the ticket queue.

Once inside the enchanting structure, take a tour with a guide, who shares fascinating stories about the reclusive Bavarian king who commissioned a new residence in the 19th century. Thought to be mad, King Ludwig II desired a fantasy castle built in the mountains, an obsessive feat that was still incomplete when he died. Visit the best vantage points for views and photo ops of the castle’s towers, interiors and surrounding scenery such as the lake, gorge and equally beautiful Hohenschwangau Castle.

5.00Franjo was an excellent guide, lots of history learned about Ludwig II, the Bavarian people and places to visit in Munich. The castle was stunning definitely worth the time spent in the bus to get there and the walk up to the castle was nothing short of spectacular with the views! I would definitely recommend this tour!
Absolutely do this tour

5.00This was worth every second of my time. I loved this tour and would go back. If I’m not renting a car and going on my own, this tour is a great option. Highly recommend and a do not miss. The guides give you the perfect balance of just enough information and guidance with free time to explore the grounds and shop and they do not make you feel like cattle on a cart just going thru the motions. Can’t speak more highly of this tour.

5.00We had a wonderful trip and an amazing guide, Franko. He was very detailed and thorough with all the information he gave us. He made the trip fun and enjoyable with his good sense of humour. He was also very accommodating and considerate of the needs of the group.

5.00This is a great way to see some history outside of Munich with little stress. Our guide, Franjo, was fantastic. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the castle and King Ludwig II, but also gave us some great ideas for activities during the rest of our stay. Five stars!
