The Experience

What your day looks like

Our Neuschwanstein Castle Tour starts right in Munich. We will take you by bus (or train, depending on the season) directly to Neuschwanstein Castle. It’s only a two-hour ride from Munich. During the ride, our trained guides will provide you with some interesting facts and historical background knowledge. Throughout the whole Neuschwanstein Castle Tour, our specialized guides will take care of you. We only provide you with specially trained guides who are fluent in English. They’ll happily answer all your questions. While marveling the stunning building, beautiful landscape and magical atmosphere your guide will tell you all about the impressive reign and tragic story of King Ludwig II. On our Neuschwanstein Castle Tour you’re not just getting a trip to the Castle. Sure, the castle is the main event of the day tour. But the beauty of the Neuschwanstein Castle also unfolds from the distance. Therefore we also take you to the best vantage points. Take a perfect picture of the equally beautiful but less famous Hohenschwangau Castle. You’ll get a perfect view of the Neuschwanstein Castle from a bridge which is about 98 feet (30 meter) high. The Marienbrücke is famous for its view and very popular by tourists. The day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle is not just about the beautiful castle – it’s also about the typical Bavarian landscape and the spectacular panorama of mountains. If time and weather permit, we can even visit the lovely lake at the foot of the castle and try the water for a swim. You’ll also enjoy an easy hike through a beautiful canyon in which you can see some small waterfalls. Just take in the beautiful scenery. Although the castle entrance fee is not included in the Neuschwanstein Castle Tour, you don´t have to wait in line. You can purchase tickets at the check-in location in Munich for a charge of 24 € per adult. (Children below the age of 18 are not charged) Please also note that the parking space to the castle involves a small uphill walk of approximately 20 minutes. It’s no problem to take a horse-drawn carriage or a bus instead, but you may have to wait a while during busy times. However, some walking is still necessary. Please contact us if you have any concerns or further questions. Please bring appropriate footwear. On our Neuschwanstein Castle Tour we will stop for food and drinks. If you need some additional food or beverages, please be sure to bring it with you.

The guests said this tour was excellent as was the guide. It was one of their favorite excursions!

2025-12-19 3.00 / 5

The tour could have been streamlined or better time management implemented to improve the investment of 9+ hours. Spent too much time waiting around.

2025-12-19 3.00 / 5

Our group was a little disappointed in how much of the castle we were actually able to tour. It was a long ride from Munich for the limited amount we were able to tour. Would not recommend unless you were in the area already.

This was a great tour! The meeting point was easy to find, and our guide Lana was professional and friendly. Lana explained everything clearly, including the schedule of the day and the best ways to explore the area. The tour included plenty of time to walk by the other castle, eat lunch, tour Neuschwanstein, see it from other viewpoints, and even enjoy a cup of something warm before getting back on the bus for the return drive to Munich.

Great tour!! It was neat that we could see inside the castle.

2025-11-21 5.00 / 5
