Spend 10.5 hours visiting Linderhof Palace and Neuschwanstein Castle, with time in Hohenschwangau for lunch and photos. Your guide handles timing and optional castle tickets, while live commentary is offered in English or German. Premium tours may include refreshments and audio options.

“This trip was excellent. We booked the premium option and boarded a brand new bus with a snack and coffee bar. Our guide, Courtney, was a great presenter and so informative and fun. Everything was well organized, the beauty of the locations speaks for itself, and the little stop at Oberommergau is such a nice touch! I feel like we got to know Bavaria and see some of the best places we've ever seen in just eight hours. Highly recommended and worth the price.”

“Really enjoyable day out and it was worth the extra for the VIP coach package. I was solo and had a single spacious seat, and also drinks and snacks offered throughout the trip. Ample time given to explore and tours of the castle well organised. My tour guide was Monika and driver Vladi, both of which were truly awesome! I would recommend this trip from München. The Meeting Point is also central and very easy to find, right outside the Karlsplatz (Stachus) S-Bahn.”

I am happy to view the actual castle of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. We enjoyed listening to the enchanting history and Nic’s stories. Itinerary is just nice, not too rushed, perfect timing I would say. The doughnuts sold just down the slope below the castle are SO super yummy, must-try! €4 for 3, only cash accepted. We took the shuttle bus up to the bridge and it was a very nice walk down. For those who are…”
