It was a small group of 6 people that day. Our guide, Ding, provided excellent service, and the itinerary was not rushed, allowing plenty of time for sightseeing and taking pictures. Great!

Waiting at the station for departure at 8:10 AM. Tour members and the guide appeared on time. All three attractions were very appealing. At the church, you can see the Alps in the distance, which is very spectacular. Of course, Neuschwanstein Castle is the most special attraction. The exterior is already very dreamy. After entering, climbing the stairs, you see many exquisite and delicate architectural designs, making it well worth a visit inside. It's a pity that taking photos inside is not allowed, but it's all in my mind.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Neuschwanstein Castle on a Chinese-guided day tour, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we boarded the bus, everything was well-organized, and the day was packed with incredible moments. Tour Organization: The entire tour was perfectly coordinated. Our guide, who spoke fluent Mandarin, provided fascinating details about the history and mythology behind the castle. I truly appreciated the fact that we didn't need to worry about navigating the language barrier or figuring out transportation; everything was taken care of, from the moment we met to the time we returned to our starting point.

Director Zhang told many stories on the bus. Today, my partner and I chose not to go inside Neuschwanstein Castle, but walked around the outside. Even though it was a bit cloudy and cold, it was very beautiful!

This day trip far exceeded our expectations. Seeing the snow scenery at Neuschwanstein Castle was a pleasant surprise, but it was Ms. Wang, our tour guide's, attentiveness, consideration, and conscientious professionalism that made our trip even more perfect.

Amazing places to visit. Coach trip makes getting to their places a breeze and we're super comfortable. We went in winter and saw snow on the ground which was beautiful, but note the gardens are closed in winter so Linderhof won't look like the pictures online. The tour inside the palace was great though, and the castle was incredible, and would be all year round.
