Tickets were completely sold out on the Neuschwanstein website during my one day in Fussen, so I was so happy to find these so that my partner and I could still visit the castle! Picking up the tickets was a very smooth process and I appreciated the advice to go to the bridge first and to stay in the castle after the tour.

Amazing tour. A must do. A real show stopper castle with amazing views. Well organised ticketing. Well organised handset tour. ‘Get your guide’ is basically a ticket tout selling at double normal price but if you’re struggling to get tickets in a limited time and have left it too late to get on official website then it’s worth doing as a one off. Must visit mariebrucker bridge to take photos. If you get an early tour do that first as it gets busy. I recommend a bus to the bridge. Then it’s a 10 minute walk from there. Then walk back down. If you’re visiting both castles ie Hohenschwangu you don’t need as large a gap as they recommend. If you do find yourself with time to spare take your costumes if it’s nice day and swim in the lake or take out a pedal boat. It’s beautiful. An extra bonus.

The tour was quicker than expected but the headsets and story were great. We were surprised by the elegance of the interior compared to comments made by others. Stairs. Lots of stairs, but manageable for most. We took the bus up for €3, and it dropped it off above the Castle at Miriam’s bridge. After the tour we took the horse drawn buggy down for €4.
