Exclusive Neuschwanstein: Private Fairytale Tour from Innsbruck

My wife and I were escorted by Anna on a trip to Neuschwanstein. Along the way we stopped at Zugspitze and took the gondola to the top. Anna took care of everything for us, walked us up to ticket counters, gave us options along the way. Anna has a great depth of historical knowledge as it pertains to our drive up and the castle itself. She was very happy, upbeat and a great conversationalist! What we learned from Anna was tenfold, or more, than what we learned during the castle tour.

We really enjoyed our time with Marin and exploring Neuschwanstein castle. Unfortunately, the weather was very poor on our day of travel so we elected to cancel the other elements of our trip. Things to keep in mind: Travel from Innsbruck to Neuschwanstein can take much longer than expected due to temporary tunnel closures, car accidents, and traffic. It WILL take longer than you expect. We had fairly smooth sailing and it still took ~45 minutes longer than expected. When you arrive at Fussen, the tickets must be picked up at a specific time and the tour occurs at a specific time. This leads to a lot of wasted time but not enough time to take on other meaningful activities. We filled the time with a meal and waiting for a carriage ride to the top. Just the castle tour was an 8 hour day for us which pushed the limits of what our young family could do. Adding any other stops would have made this a 10+ hour day. We enjoyed the tour and Marin was really fantastic. However, having done this tour now, if I could go back in time I'm not sure I would do this tour from Innsbruck given the amount of time (8+ hour day) vs the actual time in the castle (35 minute tour).

Such a great experience, and our guide was great! Anna had a ton of information and kept the entire day interesting and filled with fun facts.

Anna and Marin were excellent. I couldn’t ask for more with this company. The Castle tour was amazing and each view was worth every penny and the time. Marin was so thorough in giving us the details of the history and where to stop for the perfect pictures. He even gave us tips on how to avoid the crowds and make it in a timely manner to thee castle grounds. Amazing trip all over and would recommend to anyone. A must do! ⭐️🌟💫✨

Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery. Pick up a few bits of knowledge along the way from your guide who has lived in the area and has a passion for Tirole. She assists with the ticket purchase, informs you of the entry process and offers suggestions to get up to the castle based upon your ability. We did a slight variance and she tried to accommodate each request.

The scenery is as breathtaking as the castle itself and the tour provides lots of different vantage points to enjoy both. Our tour guide Marin was great. He was a wealth of information about the history of the castle and the area. He also made the whole experience fun and exciting for my ten year old son. Definitely recommend this tour!

Our guide, Marin, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day possible. We were a bit unprepared for the cold weather at the summit of Zugspitze so he gave our daughter his jacket to borrow, which was very thoughtful. Before we entered the castle, Marin gave us specific instructions about how to make sure we had the best views throughout the tour. We are so thankful that he guided us through this adventure! It would have been extremely stressful to navigate everything by ourselves.

Anna is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history of the Schwangau area. It was great to have the 1 on 1 conversations and unique perspectives.

We visited the Castle and the suspension bridge in January 2025 during the low season. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than Anna who has been very accommodating our request and our pace while maintaining the schedule to ensure we have a good time. She always explained the background and history of the site and gave detailed advice on how move around during the trip to ensure we did not waste time. She was also very good in introducing us the best local dishes and restaurants, which we can never find on our own. Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed the trip under her and we even strongly recommended her to our friends who has intent to go to Austria for holiday to engage her service.

The castle was fantastic! We got a great workout from climbing all the stairs!! Not terribly mobility-impaired friendly, but still worth a trip. The grounds were beautiful and the views stunning. Just be ready for a small uphill hike! Would definitely recommend!!
