The tour was amazing! Anna is a great host and she explained everything perfectly to us! We had a great time and a great experience with her
This was a magical day with Anna at Neuschwanstein & in the Alps of Bavaria & Tyrol. Having requested a private tour tailored to our interests and time constraints, Anna came up with a tour totally focused on what we wanted and suggested a couple of her VERY special local favourites close by which were perfect. Her guidance on the order of the itinerary to avoid the worst of crowds could not have worked better. Anna has an impeccable balance of professionalism & friendliness and worked hard to ensure we got the best experience possible. We love this company and can’t recommend Anna enough.

Loved this day. Enjoyed Anna and her personal attention. Highly recommend this company. Would travel with them again in a heartbeat. Feel like I have a new friend.
Fantastic day trip to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles from Innsbruck . Our guide Merin was very knowledgeable and helpful. Great value. Very easy to organise with Annas help. Recommend this tour company
We had a fantastic private tour of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles from Innsbruck . Marin our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Very easy to organise trip with Anna. Great value. Great day. Really recommend this company.
My husband and I had an amazing experience with Marin. Marin provided so much history and even quizzed us which was really fun. This was our first time in Austria so the history was wanted and truly appreciated. The advice given by Marin for all of the times for the castle and then what to do when entering the castle was perfect! I love his patience as well since walking was tough to the castle entrance for me. I learned that my legs swell with elevation and they had not recovered from doing top of Innsbruck the day before. I would do the carriage ride if I did this again when the bus was not operating. The weather was terrible en route back, but we felt completely safe the entire time. I just felt bad that Marin had to drive in it. Thank you both for this incredible journey! We will definitely use Anna and Marin when we are in the area again.
The castle is breathtaking! The surrounding area is beautiful. The bridge was thrilling! The thing that made the day so special was Anna, our guide. She was most helpful in every manner. Anna gave us the history and fun facts of the areas during the drive, making it fly by. Anna took care of every detail that we would NOT have thought of. She also knows of many picturesque locations that only the locals would know. Most importantly she was incredible with my family, taking care of our every needs, especially safe travel to and from the castle (1.5 hours). Hands down, without any hesitation, I would book with Anna again! In fact we may book her for a Salzburg excursion! Thank you Anna!
We booked a private tour and it was worth it. We had excellent service and our tour operator was superb. We had an enjoyable day.
Tour groups must be on time for Neuschwnstein tours, to the minute. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
My wife and I were escorted by Anna on a trip to Neuschwanstein. Along the way we stopped at Zugspitze and took the gondola to the top. Anna took care of everything for us, walked us up to ticket counters, gave us options along the way. Anna has a great depth of historical knowledge as it pertains to our drive up and the castle itself. She was very happy, upbeat and a great conversationalist! What we learned from Anna was tenfold, or more, than what we learned during the castle tour.
