Know before you book

    • Specialised infant seats are available
    • Not recommended for travellers with poor cardiovascular health
    • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
    • Can you walk the slightly uphill asphalt path from the car park to Neuschwanstein Castle - approx. 1.5 km within an hour? If not, an additional (waiting) time requirement for the horse-drawn hybrid carriage or the shuttle bus must be taken into account. In any case, you still have to walk about 450 metres (with a gradient of up to 15%) or around 500m (with a gradient of up to 19%) from the respective final stop to the castle entrance. The shuttle bus does not run during snow and ice. We would be happy to accompany you so that you can reach your tour on time.
    • There are a total of 346 stairs (up and down) to climb in Neuschwanstein Castle. If this is too much for you, and if you have a corresponding medical certificate stating that you are unable to walk or have limited mobility, etc. (must be scanned and sent to us in advance), we can arrange an exclusive lift service just for you with a maximum of one companion, accompanied by Castle staff, book. The lift service is at no additional cost, but (due to fire regulations) the number of tours with this service is very limited and must be reconfirmed by the castle authorities.
    • Neuschwanstein Castle can also be reached with strollers, but neither they nor other larger items of luggage (e.g. prams, larger backpacks) are allowed during the castle tour.
    • If you plan to spend a longer period of time outdoors on the Zugspitze, please remember to wear suitable clothing (temperature differences of 20°C/68°F between mountain and valley are not uncommon!). For those who would like to try out the sleighs, we recommend a change of clothing. Please also remember sunglasses and sun cream!

Zugspitze

  • 2h 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
Enjoy an unforgettable day and an overwhelming 360° panorama on Germany's highest mountain. Even taking the ultra-modern aerial cable car is a unique experience! Alternatively and/or for the return journey, the cog railway can be taken. The glacier cable car between the mountain station of the cog railway and the summit can be used as often as you like. During the summer months you can borrow (depending on availability) from the restaurant 'Sonnalpin' Rodel ("Zipfelbobs"). There or in Germany's highest beer garden or in one of the other numerous restaurants on the Zugspitze, you can enjoy varied meals for every taste.

Eibsee

  • 15m
Located at the foot of the majestic Zugspitze, Eibsee is one of the most beautiful alpine lakes. A short walk to the shore will reveal that it is quite rightly called the "Bavarian Caribbean".

Hohenschwangau

  • 10m
After another hour of driving through the beautiful Upper Bavarian landscape, we approach the Alps and can see the towers of Neuschwanstein at an altitude of around 1000m. We soon reach the small village of Hohenschwangau, which is the starting point to Neuschwanstein Castle (and also Hohenschwangau Castle). Your guide will provide you with skip-the-line tickets to Neuschwanstein Castle and a very detailed map of the area.

Schloss Neuschwanstein

  • 1h 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Neuschwanstein Castle remained unfinished due to the early and mysterious death of its builder, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, and is certainly one of the most visited sights in Germany for this reason. Because of the Corona crisis, tours of the castle have been reduced from 58 to 35 people, and therefore demand far exceeds supply. However, as a participant in our excursion, you will always receive tickets for the castle tour without any waiting times! Your tour guide will also ensure that you are at the castle in time for the start of the tour.

Mary's bridge

  • 20m
THE top viewpoint of Neuschwanstein Castle - and one of the most famous in the world! The steel Marienbrücke bridge was built in 1866 under Ludwig II - three years before Neuschwanstein Castle began construction. In snow and ice, both the Marienbrücke bridge and the shuttle bus service are closed there.

Altstadt von Fuessen

  • 30m
(OPTIONAL - only when booking the 11-hour tour duration "XXL-Time Credit") ***** This extremely charming medieval town can look back on a 2,000-year history. As the favourite seat of the Habsburg Emperor Maximilian I, Füssen experienced its first heyday at the beginning of the 16th century; the "Hohe Burg" - one of Bavaria's best-preserved medieval castles - was decorated with unusually rich architectural and illusion paintings as early as 1499. Take a stroll through narrow streets and be enchanted by the well-preserved city walls, crooked houses and the Italian-looking former monastery complex with its magnificent Baroque church. Enjoy a refreshment in one of the numerous outdoor cafes or the numerous shopping opportunities.

Starnberger See

  • 10m
Enjoy the ride along the second largest Bavarian lake and see the spot where King Ludwig II mysteriously died on June 13, 1886.

Munich

  • 5m
After this eventful excursion with unforgettable impressions, you can relax on the way back in our luxury vans -- your tour guide will safely bring you back to your accommodation or to any other address of your choice in the Munich city area.
