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.

5.00We had a wonderful guided tour of Neuschwanstein Castle with our guide, Amir. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and very kind, making history come alive with fascinating stories about King Ludwig II and the Wittelsbach family. Our teenage daughters especially enjoyed how he made the tour interactive—rewarding correct answers with chocolates! It was both fun and educational, and we learned a lot while having a great time as a family. Highly recommended!

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!!
