“We had an overall great time…with a few exceptions. We got called within 10 min of pick up time asking if we were arriving - we were, we just weren’t early due to new city Bike ride was 10/10, lunch was amazing, castle was really great! Our only complaint is the hike to the castle - it was undersold how difficult it was (and we go to the gym 3x week at home). We were miserable and sweating. Hard to enjoy the rest of the day. The people in the tour that couldn’t bike flat - then fell down the castle and were bleeding. The main tour guide Tyler should…”

“The tour was quicker than expected but the headsets and story were great. We were surprised by the elegance of the interior compared to comments made by others. Stairs. Lots of stairs, but manageable for most. We took the bus up for €3, and it dropped it off above the Castle at Miriam’s bridge. After the tour we took the horse drawn buggy down for €4.”

Skip-the-line Neuschwanstein tour from Hohenschwangau with guided castle visit, Mary’s Bridge photos, and a horse carriage ride.

“The interior castle portion of the tour is an audio guide where you are herded around in a large group from one room to the next, which is not the greatest experience, but you don't feel rushed and you do end up getting a good look at the interior. The Viator guide meets you at the parking lot and then takes you on a bus ride up to the castle. Along the way, the guide provides a lot of history of the castle, the family that built it, and the region. You then get to spend a few minutes on the bridge before the interior tour. After the interior tour,…”

“Great guided tour with Stephen Wendell …. He gave lots of great historical details and context of the castle and the people who built it, Bavarian history. For the cost of the bus ride up to Marienbrucke, horse carriage ride down the hill, the cost of the castle tickets themselves (which were already sold out on the German direct website) the cost was well worth the price!”

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!”

Small-group Bavaria castles tour from Füssen with skip-the-line tickets, expert help, and Alpine views to Neuschwanstein, Oberammergau, and Linderhof.

“This tour was not what we expected. It is more of a hired driver. He took us to the base of the castle and dropped us off to go to castles on our own and eat lunch. He then picked us up at 1:15 and drove us to another castle, gave us our tickets, walked us a bit up the correct path and then waited for us at the van. Then he drove us to the next town for 1/2 hour time on our own before being driven back to town. So it is not really a tour guide but a hired driver. It did help us not stand in…”

Cycling saved us the rush of cars, it was very nice and easy (we were 6 adults some of them not very sporty, no worries for the ride! bike path hovers almost all along). Viator generously left us the bikes a little longer, we were autonomous with simole plan to reach the castle. I recommend…”
