Terrible, no French with the tools, it is incomprehensible. This is organized theft compared to a ticket costing 23€.
I did not get clear instructions on where to get tickets or how to join a group.. just unclear. Bought tickets at site so these tickets were not even used.
I can definitely recommend this tour, it is easy to follow, interesting, and you can do it whenever you want, so it is perfect for a short stay with limited time. You get a lot of information and all the flexibility you need. The storyteller is also very engaging and easy to follow.
The VoiceMap tour of Neuschwanstein is a fantastic companion to have along the way to the castle. I found it both informative and engaging, in addition, the language was well and easily accessible. It was useful with a historic background as I walked at my own pace up towards the castle.
It didn't work at all, wouldn't download. I want my money back!! Will never use again this app or service

This was a nice alternative to an expensive guided tour. We got all of the history and information we wanted and were able to walk at our own pace, no running after a tour guide!
