A Chinese-language guided day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle

This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Due to heavy rain near Neuschwanstein Castle today, our group was smaller, only 15 people, which made for a much better experience. Our tour guide, Wang Haili, was incredibly dedicated, thoroughly explaining the entire itinerary and all important details. To ensure our trip was minimally affected by the heavy rain, she constantly checked the weather forecast and actively adjusted our schedule. As a result, we managed to take great photos at all three locations during breaks in the weather, without being significantly impacted by the downpour. Our guide had a deep understanding of Germany, and I learned so much about German history and culture in just one day. It's also worth mentioning that she's an excellent photographer and a wonderful person; she took many photos of me that I absolutely love. She truly made my day in Munich incredibly happy and satisfying! Next time I bring family and friends, I'll definitely book a tour with Sister Haili again!

This was honestly one of the best tours I have ever joined. Visiting Neuschwanstein Castle, Wieskirche, and Oberammergau all in one day was an amazing experience. The places themselves are beautiful and full of history, but what really made the trip special was our tour guide. He was super, super friendly, caring, and thoughtful throughout the whole day. He shared many interesting stories and was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. You could really feel that he was trying his best to give us the best experience possible. Everything was explained clearly and the guidance was excellent, so the whole trip felt very smooth and enjoyable. The car was also very comfortable, which made the journey even better. I truly loved this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Definitely a memorable experience.

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.

best ever package bought from Klook for my Europe trip. wang is the tour guide and she is super friendly and very attentive. she not only explain about Neuschwanstein Castle but she told us the story about Bavaria too. gave us some tips where to eat or go around in Munich. very recommend tour for everyone who wish to go Neuschwanstein Castle. i like the part when they added us to WeChat group and give all information whereabouts. not like other tour like Hallstatt or CK town in Prague

The tour guide relied too heavily on WeChat communication. When leading the tour through the town, she only focused on moving forward and didn't wait for everyone to gather before providing information, which meant she only informed those who were closely following her. Important information wasn't provided in advance on the bus when everyone was together. After touring the town, when I asked about restrooms, she said it was mentioned on WeChat multiple times, but I was in the back and didn't hear it. I felt the tour guide was unprofessional and didn't ensure everyone received the information (I joined another tour two days later with the same guide and it was slightly improved). Taking photos of the swans from the bridge is the most beautiful, so it's worth taking the time to wait for the best spot. Neuschwanstein Castle is worth visiting, although photos aren't allowed in some parts, there's a balcony where you can photograph the surrounding scenery. You can also see another castle while walking down the mountain.

Wang is a tour guide with nine years of experience, but unlike seasoned tour guides, he doesn't give official speeches. He's more down-to-earth, energetic, and passionate. When going to Neuschwanstein Castle, you can choose to walk, take a horse-drawn carriage, or take a bus. Most people decided to take the bus up to the castle, but there were too many people, including other groups. Our group of five had to take the next bus. When we rejoined the bus queue, we encountered an unreasonable tourist. After Wang found out, he helped us argue our case. Later, he gave each of us five a Neuschwanstein Castle postcard. It wasn't really his fault because we were originally going up the mountain separately. After getting off the bus back in Munich, he was still very enthusiastic about answering everyone's questions.

Director Zhang is the most considerate and understanding tour guide I've ever met. She waits for everyone to finish using the restroom before moving on, and even when faced with unexpected situations, her timing is impeccable. When we went to Neuschwanstein Castle, due to a heavy rainstorm, we couldn't go at the originally scheduled time, but she immediately had a countermeasure, allowing us to visit Hohenschwangau Castle as well. From the bus, you could feel Director Zhang's passion for her profession. She enthusiastically explained German history stories to us, which were very interesting and enjoyable. She also doesn't take us to stores that give kickbacks. She even introduced some truly delicious famous restaurants in Munich, and when we actually went, they were really delicious 😋 (No need to report the tour guide's name). I hope I can join Director Zhang's tour again next time I come 👍 (Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of Director Zhang - she's a slim Chinese girl wearing a hat).

The overall itinerary was well timed, neither too rushed nor too lax. This time it happened that the road to Oberammergau was closed, so the tour guide immediately made up the itinerary to the town of Fussen to appreciate the frescoes. When I went to Weisskirche on Sunday, there happened to be a service. After entering, I could visit the back and listen to the performance of the organ and choir. The only pity is that the guided tour reservation for Neuschwanstein Castle is for 12:50. We arrived at about noon. Looking at Neuschwanstein Castle from the Marienbridge, there was backlighting. In addition, it was cloudy and the clouds were thick that day. There was no way. To see the most typical and magnificent appearance of Neuschwanstein Castle, the light in the morning should be the best. The tour guide was very kind and attentive. In addition to introducing the attractions, he also told a lot of profound historical background knowledge about Germany. I benefited a lot! In addition, he also shared a lot of travel tips and was very happy to answer them. Because it is a full-day trip and there will be no meal breaks, it is recommended to bring some snacks with you so that you can replenish calories at any time in the car. If you are traveling on your own, it is a very good choice to occasionally choose a day tour like this to allow yourself to travel easily!

It was a nice trip. The arrangement of the meeting point was clear and easy to find. In the trip, the tour guid introduced some stories about the trip to let us get close to the historical building. There was around three stops to content the trip, and it was not just one stop at the Neuschwanstein Castle. We visited the Wieskirche, Neuschwanstein and Oberammergau on the way back to Munich. Great trip!

The weekday activity had a group of 8 participants (excluding the guide, Xiao Zhu). The first stop was Oberammergau, where Xiao Zhu explained the history of the painted village, including the difficulty of preserving the murals, as not every homeowner is willing to spend a large sum of money to repair and preserve them. Next was the second stop, Wieskirche - you can go inside to visit, and the scenery outside is beautiful, you can see part of the Alps (the guide mentioned that the Alps are a very long mountain range). Then we arrived at Neuschwanstein Castle - first to a designated drop-off point, where you can eat and buy some souvenirs, and then choose one of three options (walk uphill, take the bus, or take a horse-drawn carriage). On the way up the mountain, you will see Hohenschwangau Castle (from a distance). Xiao Zhu had already explained the history before arriving. Then enter Neuschwanstein Castle (if your reservation time is a certain time, you can enter up to 30 minutes early). You can go in and take a look at the courtyard first, and then wait until the time comes to start the tour with your ticket. At the very beginning, you walk up the castle's spiral staircase all the way up, and then reach a fixed point. The screen will show that you cannot take photos or videos. Then tell the staff what language you want, and they will give you a guided tour device. After the tour, you will go to the souvenir shop (two in total, one of which you will reach after walking down). After visiting the entire route, you can choose to walk down or take a horse-drawn carriage down. After reaching the original drop-off point, it's time to return.
