On this truly royal day trip starting from Munich, you will visit Neuschwanstein castle. Included in the tour price are hotel transfers, bavarian snacks and all entrance fees.
Enjoy an exclusive excursion on the traces of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The royal time travel starts in the morning, with pick up at your Munich city hotel or private accommodation. Cool drinks and snacks will be waiting for you in the comfortable SUV vehicle. We will have enough time during the drive, to chat and get to know each other a little better. Of course, I will tell you a few interesting things about my hometown while we are on the way.
As soon we arrive at Neuschwanstein Castle, you will explore the palace on an approximately 60-minute small-group castle tour. Afterwards we will discover the fairytale castle from the outside. There are a variety of great photo opportunities there, be it the castle itself, the old Marienbrücke or the spectacular surrounding area. Despite the main residence of the Bavarian monarchs at the time - the Munich Residenz - being one of the most extensive palace complexes in the world, King Ludwig II of Bavaria felt the need to escape from the constraints he saw himself exposed to in Munich, and commissioned Neuschwanstein Palace on the remote northern edges of the Alps as a retreat but also in honour of composer Richard Wagner, whom he greatly admired.Â
After our stay of about 3 hours, we head home towards Munich – back to the respective starting point or hotel/accommodation

If it’s snowing, you can be sure there’ll be a snowball fight. A child playing in the snow is incredibly happy. Nothing brings more joy than playing in the snow and seeing your kids enjoy it.
