About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- jnewls0 contributionsA must do tour.Amir was amazing - so knowledgeable about all the facets of our full day trip. He was great company and very easy to be around and talk to. He was very accommodating, wanting only the best experience for us. It was the highlight of our trip to Germany. A must do tour with Amir wherever the destination. Thank you Amir for making our trip so memorable.Written January 21, 2025
- J5479OZbenjamina0 contributionsNeuschwanstein, obermaggau tour from MunichAbsolutely amazing day. Lucas was a fantastic tour guide. Very pleasant, worked with out group very well, and made this an ever better experience. Neuschwanstein castle is one of the best castles I have seen and definitely worth doing!!Written January 5, 2025
- Sugarontheroad0 contributionsExcellent tourGreat tour and the guide Stephen was fantastic! Stephen gave us tons of interesting information about the history of the castle and the people of the time. Really enjoyed it!Written December 30, 2024
- SNH157080 contributionsPerfect family visit to Neuschwanstein!We had a great trip to see Neuschwanstein Castle! Lucas picked us up at our Airbnb right on time and had the proper seats for our kids ready to go. Lucas spoiled the kids with some juice and gummy bears before we set off. They loved that! It was such a comfortable ride from Munich. We got to experience the speed of the Autobahn too. It was a relaxing day even with the kids in tow as Lucas was able to provide commentary as we went along. It’s a hike up to the castle but we went slow with the kids. We stopped for some delicious donuts and gluwein. He got us into the castle and snapped some awesome photos for us. He met us at the end of the tour with our stroller which was nice! After our tour we waited just a short time for a horse carriage to take us down. Then he met us at the bottom with some more treats before heading off to lunch in Obermagau. The lunch spot was delicious. We couldn’t do any shopping since it was Sunday and everything was closed but we did have a nice stop in an ice cream shop before meeting up again. Our last stop was Ettal and the kids loved stomping around in the snow. We enjoyed the inside of the Abbey for a short visit before heading back to Munich with drop off right at our Airbnb. We had a great day and feel like we got to see a lot!Written December 30, 2024
- G4550VZjenw0 contributionsNeuschwanstein, Oberammergau & Ettal AbbeyFantastic tour! Lucas was a terrific guide. Adapted to our schedule, took photos and made sure we experienced the balloon festival. Highly recommend Lucas! Thank you for the family memories that we will cherish forever!Written December 28, 2024
- Sherpa284042836420 contributionsFamily trip in GermanyThe guide was very kind and on time. He made every effort to meet our needs. However he was more of a driver than a guide. We did not give us information on the three places we visited. The first place the castle was closed. The second place was a small town. It was cute , but not much there except for some restaurants. The third stop Rothenburg, was really nice. It had a lot of activities with a lot of stores open. Overall the trip was fun. Given the price of the trip we were expecting more.Written December 27, 2024
- Mary T0 contributionsBest experience ever on a tourAmir is an absolutely wonderful guide and an even better human being. He was knowledgable beyond expectation and took great care of us. Highly recommended!!Written December 23, 2024
- shawncJ9027BO0 contributionsGreat experience, wonderful guide and priceless picturesWe had a terrific time viewing the castle and learning the story of Ludwig II with Amir. Our time in Füssen was short, the tour accommodated us perfectly: pick up from our hotel, quicker trip than most up the mountain (Amir has lots of friends), fast track lines and promptly back to town at the end. The castle is spectacular but the passionate retelling of the history by Amir and how that ties to the local people vastly amplified our experience. The Special Private Tours promise was spot on, we came as tourist and left as friends.Written December 22, 2024
- sarahevec20240 contributionsTrip to Neuschwanstein Castle and Highline 179Amazing experience. A must do if you are spending time in Munich. We loved it. Wish we could do it again. Excellent guide as well.Written December 20, 2024
- Z899GAjanad0 contributionsExcellent MishapI ended up booking the Bus/Castle/Carriage tour because I was too late to book a single Ticket on the Castle website What a happy surprise! our guide, Steve, was full of knowledge about, not only the castle, but the rich history of the family & area. I Would say more, but don't want to spoil any surprises for future visitors - I give Steve 10 out of 5 Stars (Tour Date Dec 10, 2024 - 10am)Written December 13, 2024
- kellymQ8920HJ0 contributionsPrivate tour worth the moneyThis trip was amazing! Our driver Lucas was excellent. He took great care of us, was very personable and made sure all of our wants and needs were met above our expectations! I would highly recommend this tour, we did book the private tour because we don’t like the “full van or bus atmosphere”. Lucas was extremely informative the entire trip, and gave us a bunch of tips for the rest of our trip!Written December 6, 2024
- addiemaddie0 contributionsAmazing guide and top notch experienceOur family including 2 college age children were thoroughly impressed with our private guided tour of Neuschwanstein and Howencchwangau. Our guide Stephen Wendell was so easy to work with, gave us such interesting history and tales that made the fairy tale experience even more idyllic. I highly recommend seeing the Neuschwanstein castle first and finishing with Howencchwangau. We had a nice break between, allowing us time for souvenirs and light lunch. He was very prepared, including providing umbrellas for the rain and snow. He took care to point out the landscape, context of the time period, corrected myths or twists of the stories about King Ludwig. Overall it was a highlight of our trip!Written December 5, 2024
- denisecJ9479MQ0 contributionsFantastic!David was an excellent host. He was laid back, knowledgeable, and engaging. He shared a wealth of information, not only on the tour specifically, but on various locations in between stops. Our family had a fantastic day with memories for a lifetime! Thanks, David!Written December 5, 2024

Special Private Tours really rolls out the red carpet. This was one of 3 tours in the area they set up for us. Amir went over the top to make our experience both positive and memorable, and he succeeded!! There was even a large family who was late for the shuttle bus, yet somehow he found a way to get them up to the castle and the tour guides filled him in with everything they missed. Special thanks also to Frederico and James our tour guides, they were very knowledgeable and fun to listen to!

Amir was very kind and knew his history as we went got to Neuschwanstein. He gave good advice prior to the tour and was timely. Thanks for making our journey from the US a good one. We were hesitant buying from Tiqets, but we were pleasantly surprised when everything went so smoothly. Thanks!

Myself, my wife and my three children were very excited that day to visit Neuschwanstein Castle. We went to the castle by bus. Our friendly guide told us what to expect during the trip. Arrived in front of the castle, he started the story about the castle. It is sad that Ludwig could not enjoy the castle for long. Intrigue, power struggles and much more. Curious? Then visit the place.

We booked a tour of the castle. When we arrived at the meeting point, Amir was already waiting for us and made sure we could enter the bus early to avoid waiting in the rain.
His tour is an added value as he explains a lot about the history of the castle and Bavaria during the time of King Ludwig the Second. He will explain you a lot about the history and show you nice picture spots, also off the usual tourist track.
After the tour, he even offered us a ride to the train station in his car as he had a new tour he had to pick up from there.

Amir was very knowledgeable and provided a great history of Neuschwanstein and the area around it. I'd recently recommend a tour that includes the surrounding area. If you get just a ticket to the castle, you may be a bit underwhelmed as you're only in the castle for 30 minutes. If you like history and want more of the story, I'd highly recommend Amir.

The guided tour by Amir was an added value to our visit to the castle. In the castle, you only get information about the halls and the interior while Amir gave background information. He told a lot about the history of the castle and Ludwig II of Bavaria in an amusing and interesting way.

Amir was an absolutely fantastic guide! He was engaging, humorous, and clearly very knowledgeable about the castle and its history! He led us through the best viewpoints and made sure we had the best experience possible inside of the castle! His English was perfect, which really helped our young girls to understand the content! We wish he could show us the whole country!

We got so much more than we expected. After purchasing our tickets we were provided clear instructions on where to meet our guide. Amir was a fantasic guide providing wonderful insight on the history of the castle and the Bavarian region. He provided insight on what to look for when we toured the interior of the castle. He made the tour an enjoyable and informative experience. I would recommend this tour to all my friends.
