Admin was our tour guide and he exceeded our expectations! This trip was fantastic! He picked us up in the lobby of our hotel and took care of every detail on the way. On our way to the castle he shared history and fun facts with us, pointing out highlights and attractions along the way. I learned so much about Munich! We drove through several small countryside villages and stopped at a free of then to view churches and an adorable bakery. He took us to the castle, the bridge overlook, and to the lake near Neuschwanstein and every sight was great! This entire day exceeded my expectations! After the castle tour we stopped for an amazing lunch nearby which was also delicious. I am so glad we opted for the Van and not the big bus. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone. This was our best day in Munich! Thank you, Armin!

I had an wonderful and fun day, what a blessing. The guide was married to a Brazilian woman and spoke perfect Portuguese, what made my trip more enjoyable and comfortable. The scenario couldn't be more beautiful and the day was perfect for walking and take perfect pictures. We had a great lunch recommended by him, and was perfect. I highly recommend this company. Thank you so much for making my day. Ana Sarcia

Experience a Day in Picturesque Bavaria with This Van Tour from Munich Embark on a scenic journey along the Romantic Road, through the heart of the Bavarian Alps. As you make your way to the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle, you'll pass through charming, historic Bavarian villages and stunning countryside. Upon arrival at Neuschwanstein, enjoy a guided tour of the 19th-century castle, built in the Romanesque Revival style. Perched high on a rugged hill, the castle offers commanding views of the village of Hohenschwangau below. From the Marienbrücke (Mary’s Bridge), take in breathtaking views of the fairy-tale castle. Commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria as a royal retreat and tribute to composer Richard Wagner, Neuschwanstein opened to the public after the king's death in 1886. Today, it welcomes over 1.3 million visitors each year. The castle has appeared in numerous films and served as the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. Stroll through a picturesque gorge with cascading waterfalls before heading back. On the return journey, you'll visit the UNESCO World Heritage Wieskirche, a stunning 18th-century pilgrimage church. You’ll also have the chance to visit a traditional Bavarian cheese farm, where you can opt for a delicious cheese and sausage platter served with freshly baked bread.
