Neuschwanstein Castle: VIP Guided Fairy Tale Journey

Follow directions for time of ticket entry, get there early. The experience was wonderful, beautiful castle and grounds. Buying the tickets directly from the castle is much cheaper, in our case they were sold out for the day we wanted to attend. Therefore, it was worth it to spend the extra money to have the experience.

Please check where to collect your tickets before arrival. We wrongly assumed it was at the ticket office on site. Not so. We had to turn around and drive back to town. Paid twice for parking.

Great experience, some walking but not too bad. Houses and busses can get you most places. Many stairs in the castle though but worth it

The tour was great, but the ticketing agency tried to pull a “fast one “last minute and give us a different time and we had a train to catch! Luckily, I’m pretty stubborn and I was able to convince them to give me the earlier time as was determined previously in writing!

Don't bother to get tickets, you have to find your way through a neighborhood to pick up the tickets in the morning of the trip, not the day before. You can buy the tickets online directly- much easier. The castle is well worth a visit.

Very nice, explained everything we needed to know. Small tip, arrive on time for tickets so you are not worried you won’t make it on time to the castle (need to park, find bus or walk) we walked and it was great.

The description of the tour is misleading and the length not well explained. Picking up the tickets was chaotic and the information not clear. The tour only lasts 35 minutes. The rest of the time is getting to and from the castles. The castles itself is wonderful to see but not worth 72$ per person for 35 minutes. Especially when you can buy directly from the castles website for half the price if you plan in advance.

The visit to the Castle was a highlight of our trip and one of the main things we were definitely going to include in our trip. The weather could not have been any better. You will want to ensure that you include the walk up to the bridge to see the castle from that vantage point, as it is unforgettable. You do not get to see a significant portion of the castle from the inside, as it was never finished, but what you do see is amazing and the view from the balcony just outside of the cafe is another not miss portion of the castle visit. Do walk to the other castle that is on site, as it is worth it as well.

All you’re getting from the tour company is up charged tickets to the castle. And it’s disappointing that’s it’s an up charge to the tickets you could buy online. There is no extra value just a pain to pick up tickets from the tour company before going to the castle. If you order on line ahead of time it’s cheaper and much less complicated.

The castle is quite a walk up hill (buses & horse and carriage can take you part way up). The castle itself is quite spectacular, there are lots of photo opportunities inside and out - the views of the alps are amazing!
