Jo_K

Would recommend going to both locations as well worth seeing with stunning views, however, take a different tour operator than Grayline as they rush you at both locations and poorly organised on the day having to wait for tour guide to purchase tickets then tell us the incorrect time for the castle viewing. Could have spent another hour or so at the smaller castle instead of stopping at a pointless souvenir shop when driving to the second location.

Too little time inside
Rebecca_P
, Jul 2022
Both of the castles were spectacular, and pictures don't give you adequate perspective so they absolutely are worth seeing, but the time allotted for the tours was way too short: only 30 min inside each castle! And no photos allowed, so you have to buy these crummy little overpriced books full of pictures that are generally of lower quality than what any decent cell phone made in the last 5 years can take. To be clear, I place the blame primarily on the castle operators, not the day tour operators. The worst thing I can say about the tour guide was that he felt the need to be talking for the whole length of every bus ride, so he rambled and repeated himself ad nauseam, even spending the last 15-20 min of the tour recapping the entire trip complete with his previous repetitions. Dude, it's OK to just be quiet and let people digest the experience. The castle owners need to allow at least an hour per tour, and hardly anybody takes flash photos anymore with cellphones able to compensate internally, so there's no longer any legit reason to ban photos, only flash.

It seems that you posted your review on the wrong place. We are responsible for driving you, but a review about the castle belongs to the castle and not here. You also miss, that fotos are not allowed because people copy things. We just respect our cultural treasures and would be great if all visitors do the same. Please replace your review there where you actually want and not here. Ok?

What a wonderful trip. Moderate amount of walking and lots of hills. For a fee, there is a bus available up to the castle (or horse and buggy). It's a hard walk for elderly or out of shape. Castle has stairs to climb, but grounds are available.

A High Point of Any Visit to Germany
Leandre_F
, Jul 2022
My wife and kids took the VIP version of the tour July 4, 2022. I lived in Munich for two years so I have seen both palaces several times. I sent my wife and kids on this trip because none of them had ever been to Germany. This tour did not disappoint. They loved it. The palaces themselves are very much worth the visit and all of them considered this one of the highlights of our vacation. They also thought the tour guide was terrific. Very informative and good a managing things. Sometimes you wonder if the VIP tours are worth the extra money. This one is. The bus was fantastic and there were lots snacks for everyone (including beer of course). Also, the smaller group and having all the tickets covered made things much more efficient and allowed more time to see the sights. A little pricier than some other tours, but my family felt it was well worth it.

Gorgeous tour and scenery! The linderhof palace is gorgeous and well worth the tour, the larger castle is cool but a bit underwhelming compared to other castles etc. They also only take card on the bus for tickets so no need for cash on the bus or at the Mueller restaurant either!
