What to expect
Munich
Your tour begins with a comfortable and scenic drive from Munich to Hohenschwangau, the small town below Neuschwanstein Castle. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to admire the gentle hills of the Bavarian countryside and capture the breathtaking views with your camera.

Hohenschwangau
Once you arrive in Hohenschwangau, you will have time to explore the charming shops, tranquil Alpsee, and grounds surrounding the smaller Hohenschwangau Castle. Then it is time to climb up to Neuschwanstein. Your driver-guide (or separate driver and guide) will tell you about the history of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the history of the castle along the way. A shuttle bus to Marienbrücke is available for travelers with walking difficulties.

Upon arriving at Neuschwanstein, you will first visit Marienbrücke, a suspension bridge offering breathtaking views of the castle and the surrounding landscape.

Neuschwanstein Castle
You will then be taken on a guided tour through the lavish, myth-inspired interior of the palace. After the tour, you will have time for souvenir shopping and a break. Finally, you will be driven back to Munich, where your guide will accompany you to your hotel or a prearranged drop-off point.
Please note that only Neuschwanstein staff are allowed to conduct tours of the castle, and an audio guide will be provided to you. Keep in mind that the castle is located on a hill and requires a fairly long walk, including a series of long staircases inside. The activity level may be challenging.
For this tour, you can choose between an option with a driver-guide or a separate driver and guide. Our driver-guides are knowledgeable about history and can provide an appropriate overview. For a more detailed tour, we recommend booking the option with a separate driver and professional local guide.
