I will tell everyone I know going to Munich to get out of town for the day and do this tour. It have me a much better appreciation of Bavaria. The inside castle tours were short and sweet, but honestly if the €40+ entry is too expensive and you have nice weather, you can probably skip it and just hike all over the castle grounds, which are open to the public.

We had a wonderful day trip to Linderhof and Neuschwanstein castles. Alberto and Phillip were wonderful guides for the trip - I don’t know how Phillip (our driver) was able to drive so well through the windy roads, but it was such a smooth ride the whole way through! Alberto was super friendly and made an attempt to talk with everyone. His recommendations were top notch. It was a rainy and overcast day, but it was still magical! The double decker coach bus was also extremely comfortable and clean - the nicest I’ve been in. I loved every minute of our trip!
