Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace Tour from Munich

I participated in a 7-day tour in Munich, with a different local day trip each day, and this particular tour left the best and deepest impression on me. Whether you're in Munich for a long or short time, you should consider this one-day tour. Remember to visit Linderhof Palace; it's incredibly beautiful and reflects the excellent taste of the king at the time. I personally believe it's more worthwhile than other palaces, so if some Neuschwanstein Castle day tours don't include this palace, it's a missed opportunity. You absolutely must choose this tour. Besides thoroughly visiting both Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castles, this tour also includes a visit to a lake, which I believe is called Alpine Lake, offering everything you could want. Linderhof Palace is also an indispensable part of the itinerary. Many tours only drive past the Painted Village (Oberammergau) on the tour bus, but this itinerary thoughtfully includes a short stop there, which I found sufficient. You can take photos, buy drinks, and purchase souvenirs in the Painted Village. Booking through Klook was very convenient. Also, because this tour is very popular, there's a high chance it departs daily. Our group on that day had about 50 people. On a side note, I saw a review on Klook about a male tour leader with braids whose reviews weren't great, which is quite a shame. Although he might come across as a bit arrogant, he actually has deep knowledge and extensive experience. I could tell he managed the time very well, though he was a bit stressed about time control. But you'll understand why after you complete this tour: excellent time management is crucial; otherwise, you won't be able to enter the palaces on time, and it would be difficult to squeeze in a short visit to the Painted Village. Everyone needs to understand this, which is why he was so focused on time control. Unfortunately, he told us it was his last day working, and I was lucky enough to have him lead our tour. He instructed us on how to navigate the Neuschwanstein Castle itinerary, how to save time by taking the shuttle bus here and there, which saved us some time and leg power. Before coming here, I had watched YouTube videos, and the routes they suggested for walking were very long and time-consuming. So, having this guide teach us how to complete the entire route within a certain timeframe was invaluable. He would walk around the bus, explaining and answering questions for each group individually. Although not overly detailed, it's challenging to explain things thoroughly on a moving bus, yet he still managed to answer questions for each group. Booking through Klook is very convenient, so I highly, highly recommend choosing this Neuschwanstein Castle & Linderhof Palace day tour and the Königssee & Magic Forest day tour through Klook. These two tours are a must-do. Strong recommendation. Additionally, I'd like to express that Klook only allows six photos to be uploaded for reviews, which doesn't allow us to provide detailed visuals for future interested travelers. I hope Klook can relax this limit and allow us to upload at least 20 photos in reviews so that the next participants can get a clearer understanding.

Very smooth trip, opted not to get the tickets, which is a better way to explore on own pace as the tickets come with a assigned time to enter. The outside of castles was good enough for photo taking. Taking the blue bus up and down was a wise move.

The tour was relax and enjoyable, not rush and plenty of time, castle was fantastic, guide is knowledgeable and thoughtful, l will recommend, only thing is u have to pay for the tickets onboard

An amazing Bavarian experience. Fee was worth everything and the length of visit was perfect. Marleen was a great guide and Kushdrim was an awesome driver. Size was just nice. Highly recommended whether you are solo, couple of family.

Our guide was very polite and explained everything kindly. The meeting point was also clear. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!

Great service and our tour guide is so effective for her jobs.

We were able to travel comfortably by bus from morning to evening. Linderhof Palace and Neuschwanstein Castle were very beautiful. Our guide, Pedro, led us well and kept us on schedule without any delays.

Since tickets were sold out on Neuschwanstein Castle's official website, I opted for this tour. It was very convenient as all I had to do was ride the bus. Our guide, Pedro, meticulously explained the best way to explore the area around Neuschwanstein Castle, including photo spots, to each group individually. He even shared a lesser-known viewpoint with a spectacular view of the castle, which was great for taking photos in a less crowded area. European audio guides often don't include earphones, so it was a nice touch that earphones were distributed when we first boarded the bus. I had hoped to take a horse-drawn carriage up to the castle, but I didn't have enough time and had to give up on that idea. Given the itinerary, it's almost impossible to take a carriage, so if riding one is a must for you, I recommend a different tour or going independently. After touring the castle, it took longer than the guide had indicated (over 20 minutes) to get back to where the bus was parked, so it's a good idea to allow extra time to return to the bus. Also, please note that eating and drinking are not allowed on the bus.

awesome experience. tour guide was very nice and very informative. would recommend.

Well organized tour. The drinks and snacks provided on board the bus was very much appreciated. Driver and tour guide were wonderful.
