Be prepared to walk up to... - Be prepared to walk up to the castle if the shuttle is not available for a spectacular view. We did it in 20 degree weather. Walking downhill was much faster. Beautiful castle.

Excellent Value - Baskin was the Coach driver and he was a Artist at work, the Bus never Jerked or Rolled or over revved and it was just like a Magic Carpet ride, we just purred along the Autobahn and the narrow roads. Charlie was the tour guide and just spoke the right amount. All in all a very very enjoyable day. Thanks guys your a credit to your profession.

Nice tour - Fun day for a winter visit - Great tour! Enjoy the pace of the day and was easy and well-planned upon arrival to the end. Charlie was our guide (in English) and he covered a great detail of historical facts and shared many interesting insights. There is a hike for those who have any mobility issues but for the four in our group everything was doable.

Amazing trip overall,... - Amazing trip overall, great tour, useful tips from bus tour guide for which landmarks to visit at the destination. Tour inside the castle was amazing and well worth the extra €20 admission fee and ~20-40 min walk up the mountain (bridge was closed). Did not realize there was an additional €20 that needed to be paid in cash to enter the castle. Bus was great and bus driver was amazing! Very accommodating with extra bags. Please show up early if you want to choose your seats and sit next to your friends/family. Seats are not initially assigned but are locked in at the start of the trip. It’s a 2 hour bus ride ONE way.

It was a great tour and... - It was a great tour and Katarina was a wonderful guide. The castle tour itself is a bit rushed but that is not the tour company’s fault—it’s just a very busy attraction. But just the views alone are worth it and the winter landscape was beautiful.

Amazing Fairy Tale Experience- book early! - My husband and I joined this tour over New Years week. Book early for anything around a holiday! We had so much fun during this experience and as seasoned tourists/ travelers I can tell you it was superbly run. Our guide Pedro was amazing! He ran a tight ship for the benefit of the entire group. Even though it was a full day excursion, it is a longer (beautiful) drive and there is a lot to see once you get there. He gave us detailed structure on how to use our time the best to see everything which we followed to a T. We got to see everything we wanted plus some shopping, a good sit down lunch, and some amazing donut balls on the way back from the castle. It is a lot of walking up and down hills to get where you need to go, but if you’re prepared for that it’s not bad at all. We LOVED this tour and would not hesitate at all to recommend it…even in the winter. The ice on the trees was very beautiful. Wear the right clothes and shoes for the weather and you’ll be just fine. The castle itself is very impressive and the guide inside was top notch too. I like the timed entrances so you didn’t have to be crushed in like some other tours I’ve been on (ahem-Versailles). It truly was a fairy tale day!

Hello. The trip was... - Hello. The trip was amazing. Regarding the tourist guide is was very respectly , colaborative and helped us in all of the activities and description about castle. The tour organization was perfect, I mean, the bus, schedules, and so on. Regarding the castle the sights are so beatiful but we would have liked to visit a little more the castle. The tour only lasts ten or fifteen minutes and only it visit three or four room. I think the price is high in relation to final visit inside the castle. Thank you very much.

Overpriced and Poorly Managed Tour With No Added Value - I took the Winter Tour to Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich through Viator and had a very disappointing experience. There was no real value addition—it felt like I only paid for transportation, even though the castle is easily reachable by public train and public bus at a much cheaper cost. The tour lacked meaningful commentary or guidance, and there were no stops or insights about nearby towns that could have enhanced the long journey. To make matters worse, the bus bathroom did not work for the entire trip, which was extremely uncomfortable. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and I’m not confident I will trust Viator for tours in the future.
