Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castle Tour - What other travelers should know about this tour is that even though the tour is for 0900 and check-in at 0845, there are many buses and when they fill up, even at 0830, they take off. We were a party of six and four of us were allowed on the bus, waiting for my son and his girlfriend, who showed up at 0845, the check-in time. The tour guide told us to exit the bus as my son wasn't there yet, (it was 0830) and they needed to take off. We were all settled in, had to exit the bus and wait for the next one. I didn't even know initially that there were many buses and that the 0900 time didn't matter. He was rushed, rude and unwavering while telling us we had to wait for the next bus. I argued about the 0845 check-in, which obviously didn't matter. That being said, the next bus with our tour guide Dominic worked out so much better. He had heard the ruckus and looked right at me as we boarded and said let's leave that behind and we will have an amazing trip, which we did! It was a bit of a rainy day, but he was so positive and said sometimes it makes the trip and the castles more mystical and magical, which it did! We all loved the Bavarian countryside and the castle tours were amazing. A must see!

A better appreciation of Bavaria - I recommend this tour to all who wish to make an excursion from Munich, It gave me a better appreciation of Bavaria. The guided tours inside the castle were too brief but pleasant. Do not miss the gardens, there are beautiful views.

Comfortable day trip to see the castles - This tour was good. We got to see Linderhof and Neuschwanstein Castle. Plus our guide Jackie told us some history about both sites. We enjoyed her storytelling and humor. Well organized and managed.

Great tour - Good tour. If you want to make the best of it. Take lunch with you. That will buy you extra time. Then you can go visit extra places at the Neuschwanstein area. We had sit down lunch which we enjoyed a lot but after that we only had time for the main castle. There are 3 castles in the area.

Great tour - At first I was quite worried because the tour operator didn't contact me prior to the trip as other operators in asian countries. So I went to the meeting point early and surprisingly many people came early as well, the bus was full hence departed earlier than scheduled (8.20am). So when in Germany, learn the German way - be punctual then no worry :)) The trip was wonderful, the view was like winter wonderland. The tour operation was great, the driver Smiley and tour lady (I forgot the name) were gentle, and nice. Strongly recommended.

Neuschwanstien castle and Linderhof palace day tour - Overall the rour was good. The palace was small and most of the outdoor Satatues were covered during winter. The castle area was much greater and more to see. I wish we had more time at the castle than the palace.

the tour guide made an... - the tour guide made an extra stop, cutting the time we should have spent at the castle. We paid for the castle visit, and yet we were taken to a "cheap to buy souvenirs" place which we have no interests nor informed before hand. It is unethical, non-professional ,and not acceptable.

Visit to the castles - Check the internet carefully before buying. Prices of castles are NOT included. The bus is comfortable and the staff friendly. That said it costs too much and probably if you have car you will save. Last note: on castle tickets they charge about 8 euros (my calculation), if you can buy it first on the internet. I had found everything "money out" but once there it was full of availability and open tills. Maybe I looked at the wrong website.

Not a good experience - We didn’t get to go on this prepaid tour. It was unclear where to meet and the bus sailed by us as we tried to flag it down. The company was unwilling to help us or even let us join later -after we traveled by train to the same area.
