All tours from Munich include round-trip transportation to Neuschwanstein Castle. If the transportation included is by bus it will take you directly to the castle, if it's by train it will take you to Fussen and then your guide will lead you to the bus to get to the castle.
Some tours grant the option to purchase tickets already during the booking process, but most of them require visitors to pay the cost directly on the day of the visit. Just know that, in either case, your tickets will be pre-booked by the tour operator, so your entry will be guaranteed.
Neuschwanstein Castle can only be visited with a guide, but the guided tours are only in English and German, so if you want to listen to the explanations in a different language you can opt for an audioguided tour. Usually tours with a live guide and tours with an audioguide will have different prices.
Neuschwanstein Castle opening hours have two different periods.
Summer (1 Apr - 15 Oct): 9AM - 6PM
Winter (16 Oct - 31 Mar): 10AM - 4PM
Closing dates: Neuschwanstein Castle is closed on December 24th, 25th and 31st and January 1st.
The guided visit lasts approximately 30 minutes and it's the only way to visit the castle.
Neuschwanstein Castle is located in Neuschwansteinstraße 20, 87645 Schwangau, Germany.
