Amazing Amir
cherylu2018, October 2026
Tour guide Amir was excellent!! So knowledgeable, funny and organized!! Get your guide for this tour - it is worth every penny - the one mile hike up the hill is super steep!!! Walking or a horse n buggy ride is your alternative. But then you’d miss all Amir’s fun facts/insights and delicious donuts.

Great tour with Steve
F3691DPkristyc, October 2026
Are you looking for adventure? Are you looking for clear, concise, set expectations? Are you looking for an in-depth telling of fact and lore? Then Steve is the one you want to lead you up the mountain! Ok, the bus takes you up to the castle but only after Steve gives you all the news you can use to meet up, hop on the bus and begin your tour to and through the history of Neuschwanstein Castle. Even a little bit of a wait here and there is entertaining as he tells stories and takes questions along the way. Who needs YouTube and Tik Tok to share tips and tricks when you've got Steve?
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Definitely worth booking

Fantastic tour with amazing guide
O2312IGrenef, October 2026
Amir was a fantastic tour guide! He gave us so much history that the tour was incredibly captivating. He also made it fun by rewarding participants for answering quiz questions he asked along the way. This tour was well worth the money!

Breathtaking tour with wonderful stories about the history of the castle and king Ludwig II
Trek27554904017, October 2026
This was a wonderful experience with a multitude of beautiful photo opportunities and a nice tour back from the mountain by a horse carriage. In my opinion one of the best parts of the trip was our guide Stephen, who was full of great stories on European history and he was a catchy speaker, whose style of presenting was well carved and eloquent.
