You overcharged the hell out of me. You charged me over $200 for 2 people but others showed up at the tour and paid only €66. You're scum and I'm never going to use your service again and I'm going to advice everyone I know to stay away from you.

The guide ... Jonnie was first class on knowledge and carrying a fun mood! We had a great time. However... Disappointingly I paid for tickets that said they included castle acccess and we had to pay additional amounts to enter.

What an amazing time. Lots of walking, but completely worth it. The bus ride was pleasant and our guide Cansel was great. The castle was a sight to see and an experience of a lifetime.

Munich to mountains

Start your day trip to Neuschwanstein, Linderhof Palace, and Oberammergau with a convenient pickup in central Munich. Board a comfortable bus and enjoy a 75-minute ride to Linderhof Palace while listening to informative commentary from your English-speaking guide.

From palace gardens to alpine charms

After a picturesque drive from Munich to the Linderhof Palace, you get ample time to wander the manicured gardens of this Versailles-inspired castle. Your guide shall walk you through its idyllic surrounding park known to be one of the most artistic and stylistically complex ensembles of its time.

A short 20-minute uphill walk will take you to the castle, where your guide will share the history of the castle and its enigmatic resident, King Ludwig II.
