Experience the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle like never before—away from the crowds and surrounded by nature.

Along the way, you’ll also enjoy stunning views of Hohenschwangau Castle and the crystal-clear Lake Alpsee. Best of all, everything is taken care of: hotel pick-up in Munich, a comfortable ride in an air-conditioned minivan, and a knowledgeable English-speaking guide to lead the way.

Our full-day guided tour begins at 9:00 AM, when we pick you up directly from your hotel or accommodation in Munich in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan (2 hours of drive).

After 3 hours of easy hiking, we arrive at Neuschwanstein Castle and join the official English-guided tour of the castle at 14:55 or use the audio guides in your native language.

The tour ends in the village of Hohenschwangau. You'll be back in Munich around 7 pm.
