Neuschwanstein Castle ticket with an audio guided tour from Füssen, Romanesque Revival rooms, and big views. Small group, strict timing.
“You had to travel to a youth hostel on day of visit two hours beforehand to pick up ticket. I scouted it out and knew where to go beforehand but you had to find this place which wasn’t easy and ark pretty far away. Then you had to get over to the castle and figure out what to do. It was a right window. Also it killed our day because the tickets were for 11:05 and ad said 9:15. You can’t cancel if you find a better deal which there were others. They did deliver the tickets. The woman who runs it was very nice and polite and so was…”

“Super long signup process and then it had no localization integrated; you had to go to the next place via an inactive map, so constantly out of the app and in Google Maps manually search the place. Super annoying, we dropped out. In other app it is better done - would have been desirable if you are guided in the app to the next location by map and then it recognizes the location. -not the case here.Auto-translated”

Struwwelpeter Museum in Frankfurt with entry ticket and audio guide, rare books, interactive games, and a theater reenactment.
“Wir hatten eine Audioguide Tour und vor Ort erfahren, dass es gar keine Kopfhörer gibt, so dass wir das Handy immer auf laut stellen mussten.
