Deep insights into Neuschwanstein

Tho.as was our guide for Neuschwanstein, and was so informative and full of deep insights. He gave background of the historical context, Ludwig and Wagner music that were all intertwined. He even covered the opera and stories that became part of the castle decor to help you appreciate more what Ludwig was doing. He also sought deeper questions and meanings behind all we saw and heard and tried to get all to reflect more afterwards. Highly recommend the tour and especially Thomas for this one! The hill climb is a bit strenuous. I do have a heart condition and am a bit out of shape but was able to do it without major issue. Thomas was very cautious with the group and took pauses for historical lessons on the way up the mountain for those of us struggling to catch up to the group. Much appreciated that he stayed concerned for the entire group.

Magnificent

Wow, what an experience. The castle and the views were magnificent. The only downside is the crowds, during peak time it does get very busy. Especially Mary's Bridge, it can take up to 50 minutes to get to it.

Great Day Trip

Reserving a spot was easy. Staff was terrific, start to finish. Thomas did a wonderful job of keeping everyone engaged as well as in time. Be prepared to walk. It is a steep climb to the castle and lots of stairs inside. Overall, a great day trip.

Excellent tour

Booked with Radius Tours who collected us from Munich and drove us there and back. We had Charlie H as our guide and he was excellent. Very easy to listen to and highly knowledgeable about the location and wider Germany. Large, comfortable coach and loads of flexibility about stop offs. Highly recommended.
