Full description
Discover one of Bavaria's most scenic landscapes on this tour from Munich by train and van. Marvel at the stature and delicate architecture of Neuschwanstein Castle standing proud atop a hill and surrounded by forested mountains. See the sprawling valley from the foot of the castle walls and learn about its history from your guide along a walking tour of the grounds. Located 2 hours from Munich, the enchanting old-world town of Füssen lies in the foothills of the Alps, framed by one of the most breathtaking natural settings in the world. Towering far above the village, seemingly sculpted out of the very mountains that rise magnificently to the heavens, is a sight made from the stuff of dreams: the fabulous and ethereal Neuschwanstein Castle. This glorious folly was built in the 19th-Century by the famed "mad" King Ludwig II, a man intoxicated by mythology and who himself became a legend. The shimmering white towers of the castle among the clouds are instantly recognizable to many who haven’t ever heard the name Neuschwanstein. It is the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle and is famous the world over as the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang castle. To visit it is to step inside a fairy tale. On this full-day tour from Munich, your guide will take you by train or bus and accompany you uphill to the castle’s lofty perch, where it sits gleaming above a spectacular panorama of mountains, lakes, and valleys. It’s not just about the castle – it’s also about its wonderful location. You will go to the best vantage points and explore the lake. If time and weather permits, you can even enjoy a swim. Get postcard-perfect views of the equally beautiful Hohenschwangau Castle, the waterfall gorge, and the stunning Marienbrücke Bridge, suspended high above it all. While you are marveling at the beauty, your guide will tell you the engaging story of King Ludwig’s renowned and tragic reign, his turbulent times, and of the obsession that drove him to build his fantasy castle in the mountains that ultimately destroyed him. If you choose to purchase a ticket on the day, skip the long lines for the separate internal tour of the king’s private chambers by a specialist castle guide. The tour is the most practical way to admire this amazing fantasy world.

Céline – FranceNovember 13, 2023 – Verified booking
I booked the Neuschwanstein castle tour and it was totally worth it. Lana our guide was so happy to give us information about the King's life it was very interesting, there is a lake at the very beginning (so pretty with autumn leaves) and then the castle is majestic, inside is also very pretty but quite small since they never got the chance to finish it, I highly recommand the tour !

A wonderful day! The guide Cristian was impeccable, always helpful at all times and concerned about the group. We have a small baby and he always helped us with the stroller during transport trips. The landscapes are phenomenal! From the train journey to the castle! Every place is wowwww! It's so worth it! I highly recommend it.

It was an amazing sight to see. The colors of the trees were beautiful and the setting is spectacular! The guides, Nick and Stevo, were both very informative, knowledgeable and funny. The only thing was that it was not clear what time the horse carriages stop running and we waited for 15 minutes and then had to walk down and were late for the bus. Also, it needs to be made more clear in advance that a lot of services only accept cash.
