Amazing time!

Augi was amazing. He met us at the bus, and led us through each leg of our tour carefully and with a lot of knowledge! He was very friendly and helpful, and recognized when the path was too strenuous for us. He told us where we could wait to rest and rejoin easily. Augi made a personal connection with everyone on the tour and I was very pleased. It was so nice to not worry about time deadlines or where to enter. I would fully recommend this tour!

An original Ostallgäuer who really knows his stuff!

A very good guide, where you can really tell that he is a local. In addition to many interesting pieces of information, he also had some regional insider tips ready.

Fantastic experience!

We had a fantastic experience. Our tour guide, Augin, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He met us at the bus stop as mentioned in the getyourguide description. My family of 5 were the only people who booked the tour but Augin still gave us the tour instead of canceling it. He sat by us on the shuttle and gave us some great facts about the castle and surrounding area. When we stopped at the Queen Mary Bridge, he patiently took pictures and videos of us, making sure that we got the shots that we wanted. He was very kind and patient with our 3 kids under the age of 8. The views on the bridge were breathtaking! Definitely a must see if you visit Neuschwanstein Castle. The castle tour was short but vary informative. The interior is amazing. We loved every second of this experience.

Review for the guided tour to Neuschwanstein Castle

Our tour to Neuschwanstein Castle was a lovely experience, especially thanks to our guide Augin. We were a small group of 4 people, which gave the tour a very personal and pleasant atmosphere. Augin accompanied us to the castle and guided us through the history surrounding King Ludwig II with a lot of expertise, calmness, and a friendly manner. He consistently pointed out interesting details and ensured that we always felt well-oriented and well-cared for. His friendly demeanor made the tour a thoroughly successful experience for us. A heartfelt thank you to Augin. We can absolutely recommend this tour.
