Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
It's fascinating to learn about eccentric King Ludwig II, who built the two grandiose castles on this tour. You get plenty of time at both to appreciate his vision. And the short stop at Oberammergau, home of the famous Passion Play, is a nice bonus!

What You Can Expect
Linderhof, Germany
Departing Munich, visit the smallest of three royal castles, Linderhof, which was built by King Ludwig II during the 19th century as a hunting lodge. Built in French Rococo style, the castle has a Moorish pavilion which can be visited during your two hour stay. You have the option to join a guided tour of the interior of Linderhof.
After departing Linderhof, you will have a short shopping stop in Oberammergau, world-famous for its woodcarvers, richly painted houses (Luftl-paintings) and Passion Play.
On the approach to Neuschwanstein, it will quickly become clear as to why this magnificent neo-Romanesque style castle is the most well known castle in the world. It appears through the mist like something out of a fairytale, and you will not be surprised to hear that the man who conceived its design - King Ludwig II, was considered quite eccentric. If it all seems very familiar, it may be because the castle was the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
You will have four hours to explore the grounds of Neuschwanstein, and the option of joining a guided tour of the interior of the castles if you wish.

This was a very good trip and worth the money.
We had a wonderful guide; her name was Uda and she managed the entire day very well. The commentary she gave was very informative - she obviously knows and loves the history and the people of Bavaria. She made me feel that she was talking just to me and this really made the trip a great experience.
I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a good day out with a wonderful guide.

Great way to spend a day. Tour takes you to 2 castles. The best advice i got was to go on the bridge for the best view of the Neuschwanstein Castle! Do not leave without seeing it from that bridge! Beautiful, but dont look down! :)
