We had a wonderful day trip. Our guide Hanae was lovely and very knowledgeable of the area. our driver Ebru (Ibru?) was great. There are many steps in Neuschwanstein Castle, and then a 40 minute walk down the mountain. You need to be relatively fit with no hip or knee issues (which I had). Pretty town too. Linderhof surprisingly small, but magnificent. Highly recommend this tour.
