We stopped here on our Viking cruise and this was an offered excursion. It was a wonderful tour and we had a very knowledgeable guide (Robert). Great views of the Rhine, tour of many castle rooms, some furnished, and a room with armor through the ages! Excellent. There is also a gift shop and snack bar.

We really enjoyed our tour of this castle, which lasted an hour primarily because we had such a good guide in Max who spoke excellent English and was able to answer all the questions people threw at him. This is a traditional stone castle dating back to around the 13thC and is pretty complete so you get a good sense of how it would have been. Tours in English at 1pm and 4pm. Entrance was 11 euro which felt was OK but weren't happy about being charged a further 3 euro to park the car!

Beautifully and well maintained castle. The your was worth the ticket price. A quick view of Medieval times. Certainly worth a visit if you are near Koblenz and are looking for something historical to visit. The English Tour at 4 pm was well worth the wait and the climb from the train station

This castle was one of the highlights of our Rhine River Valley vacation. As others have said, the castle is fascinating as it is so intact with original cobblestones and stone passageways, lovely garden area with typical plants of the era, cannons, rooms with beautiful wood accents and some period furnishings, armor and weapons. Our English speaking guide, Michaela, was excellent and made the tour both very informative and engaging. We arrived from the train station and should have arranged for a taxi ahead of time. Instead we walked up the steep path on a rather humid day which was a workout for me (mid 70s) but doable. It took us about 40 minutes with a couple of short rest stops and walking sticks were very helpful. Inside the castle was no problem for us but be aware if you have mobility or balance issues. There are many stairs without railings and very uneven areas. The restrooms were without charge at the beginning of the tour area. There is a small cafe with a beautiful view where we had an ice cream bar at the end. A very nice parking attendant called for a taxi for us to return to the village. We saw three huge Viking buses coming up as we were leaving so it can get very busy. There is also an uphill paved walk from the car/bus parking lot to the castle.

We visited Marksburg Castle as part of a Scenic Group when our itinerary was changed and it was a pleasant surprise. Our guide was excellent and opened the castle with a huge iron key. I loved this castle because it's displays are with furniture etc of the era that you got a real glimpse into the working life of a castle. The armoury & the display of torture methods was quite impressive. As always, the views were amazing and the whole tour exceptional.
