What To Expect
Schloss Neuschwanstein
Enjoy an unforgettable visit to the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle, the inspiration for Disney's fairy-tale castle. (With Skip the Line service, you don’t have to worry about waiting for hours to get tickets, or tours are sold out when you arrive). Your private guide can pick you up directly from your hotel in Füssen or meet you directly in Hohenschwangau, for a convenient start to the tour. First, we take the shuttle to (Marienbrücke) for some amazing pictures. # Please note: During the winter months, the bridge is closed for safety reasons due to snow. Then we walk to Neuschwanstein (the fairy-tale castle) with a tour inside. You will learn more about the Swan King (Ludwig II) king of Bavaria (1864-1886). And the history of Neuschwanstein Castle (built 1869-1886). (The castle entry is conducted as a group tour, in line with the castle's policy). Afterward, from the castle’s foot, we take a horse carriage to Hohenschwangau village. Then back to your hotel or the starting point.

5.00The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. He led us through all the areas before the castle's official tour and made it enjoyable. It was very convenient to be picked up and dropped off where we were staying.

5.00We visited Neuschwanstein Castle on a VERY busy day (it was the only day on our itinerary we could visit) and I wasn't sure the best way to organize. Then we found Amir! He was AMAZING! He spent the time we had with him giving us fun and fascinating facts, maneuvered us through the crowds, and handled the "front of the line" option with ease. We never had to worry about any logistics....Amir had all of those things handled. We could just soak in all the info he was sharing and 100% focus on the amazing castle. The extra we paid for a private tour with the front of the line option was totally worth the extra money. My husband and I cannot recommend Amir enough! We could tell in his interactions with the castle staff and employees that he is a very loved tour guide. Can't beat that!!
Opt for g group tour.

3.00That a private tour is actually a group audio tour and includes your private guilde to and from bottom of castle. Our guide was the same guide who did the group tour and was very knowledgeable

4.00Guide was great. Tour was outrageously expensive relative to the experience. Guide told us there are half the visitors in winter vs summer. Glad we came in the winter despite the icy climb to the castle. Perhaps the carriage ride is worth the money?
A great way to make make Neuschwanstein come to life.

5.00I was initially skeptical this would be worth the hefty surcharge, given that this is not a private tour of the castle itself. Also, all of the positive reviews were directed towards Amir, and we were getting his associate, Caroline. BUT…. it was a fantastic experience and absolutely worth the money. Caro is a gifted storyteller and a very warm, engaging person… through her, this distant history came to life and felt very relatable. I wouldn’t have done this experience any other way. We are grateful that things came together the way they did!
