Linderhof tour reviews: the most-rated listings and the newer ones

Eighteen listings on this site put Linderhof in their title. Three of them carry twenty-five ratings or more. Ten carry between one and twenty-four. Five carry none at all, and six of the twenty-three listings here have not one written review under them. Here is how the ratings are spread.

One coach holds ninety per cent of the ratings

Add up every rating attached to a listing that names Linderhof and ninety per cent of them sit on one listing: the full-day coach out of Munich, 4.6 from 16,467 ratings. The next one down carries 1,673 ratings, about a tenth of the first. So most of the Linderhof review evidence comes from that one coach.

That is not a complaint about the coach. It runs most days, it is the cheapest listing whose own page offers you a way inside the palace, and people plainly enjoy it. With one listing at sixteen thousand ratings and five with none, each listing is best read on its own figures.

How the written reviews are used on these pages

There are ninety-four written reviews across all twenty-three listings, and no listing has more than ten. The coach with 16,467 ratings produced ten written lines. The listing with 72 ratings produced eight. The written reviews shown reflect what the platform displays on each page.

Eighty-eight of the ninety-four are five stars and the other six lower, while the listings themselves average anywhere from 3.8 to 5.0. The written reviews quoted here are the ones the platform shows at the top of each page.

So the two sources do two different jobs here and neither does the other’s. Sentiment comes from the star average with its rating count printed beside it, always. Written reviews are quoted for things somebody actually saw: a coach that arrived at the wrong language slot, a castle ticket that turned out to be timed, an afternoon spent outside a palace somebody had expected to go into.

Read the last two columns against each other. The ratings run from 16,467 down to nothing; the written column never gets past ten.

And what the ratings are not telling you

A star average rates a day out. It does not tell you whether the day goes inside the building, and on this catalogue that is the thing worth knowing. Of the eighteen, two state Linderhof admission flat with nothing attached, two gate it behind a condition in their own words, one says in its exclusions that the stop is usually only an exterior visit, one mentions tickets without naming a building, and the remaining twelve say plainly that admission is not included.

The word cheapest can mean three different things here. The cheapest listing that names Linderhof at all is about seventy-one euros, and its own exclusions say you stay outside. The cheapest whose page offers you a way in is about seventy-six euros, behind “(if option selected)”. The cheapest that describes the palace visit with nothing attached to it is just under two hundred euros. Three numbers, three different products. Tickets takes all three apart properly.

Six listings awaiting written reviews

Six of the twenty-three listings here have no written review at all, and six of those six name Linderhof in their title. One of them, at about four hundred and seventy euros, even carries a star rating: a single five, with nobody having written a word beside it. A 5.0 from one rating is shown with its count, as the number of ratings goes in the same sentence as the average on every page and every card here.

The most interesting of the six gets a page of its own below. It is the only listing in the catalogue that goes to Linderhof, comes back, and does nothing else, and there is not one rating or one written line behind it. That page sets out what you would be booking.

The four pages

Two notes on the reviews quoted

Thirteen of the ninety-four written reviews are filed under “GetYourGuide traveler”. That is the platform’s byline for somebody who did not set a display name. Those reviews are quoted here without a name.

And one review, on the Linderhof and Oberammergau day trip, thanks the company that ran it by name and tells readers to book with them. That one is summarised here. What it says, minus the name, is that the guide was a Munich local who suggested where to eat and that Ettal Abbey was an unexpected first stop. A reviewer naming their own guide by first name is a different thing, and those are quoted as written throughout.

Where to go next

What Linderhof costs at the door, and what each listing does about admission, is on tickets. Why so many of these listings are coaches rather than tickets is on getting there, which explains why most visitors book a day trip. All twenty-three listings, grouped by what kind of vehicle you are in, are on all tours. How a listing gets read here, and what happens when a source hedges, is on editorial policy.

Frequently asked questions

Are the Linderhof tours well reviewed?

One of them is, heavily: the full-day coach from Munich carries 4.6 from 16,467 ratings and holds ninety per cent of every rating attached to a Linderhof listing here. The rest of the set carries fewer ratings. Ten listings carry between one and twenty-four ratings and five carry none.

Why is the number of ratings printed next to every star average?

Because a 5.0 from two ratings and a 4.6 from 16,467 are not the same claim. Ten of the eighteen Linderhof listings carry fewer than twenty-five ratings, so the base goes in the same sentence as the average, every time.

Do these pages summarise what visitors thought?

Not directly. There are ninety-four written reviews across the twenty-one listings, no listing has more than ten of them, and eighty-eight of the ninety-four are five stars while the listings themselves average from 3.8 to 5.0. Sentiment here comes from the star average and its base, which is why both are printed together everywhere on this site; the written reviews are quoted for the concrete detail they carry.

Why does one listing have no review yet?

Because the listing has no reviews yet. One listing goes to Linderhof and back and nowhere else, and it has no rating and no written review.The page sets out what the listing says about itself and stops there.

Do you earn anything if I book through this site?

Yes, a commission from GetYourGuide, at no extra cost to you. The affiliate disclosure has the details.
