Neuschwanstein Castle Tours from Munich: The 15 Best Days Out

57 tours  ·  from $51 a head

The castle is two hours from Munich and the inside is seen only on a timed guided tour, so the real question is whether your trip includes the ticket. These 15 spell out the price, the pairing with Linderhof or Hohenschwangau, and the time you get at the Marienbrücke.

I am happy to view the actual castle of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. We enjoyed listening to the enchanting history and Nic’s stories. Itinerary is just nice, not too rushed, perfect timing I would say. The doughnuts sold just down the slope below the castle are SO super yummy, must-try! €4 for 3, only cash accepted. We took the shuttle bus up to the bridge and it was a very nice walk down. For those who are…”

Castle admission costs extra, and time at Neuschwanstein includes room for lunch and the uphill walk. Guides have included Elizabeth, Christine, and Alberto.

“Gorgeous! Rather rushed because we were among the last tours of the day but what a magnificent time. It snowed so the roads were slushy, which meant buses could not run, and the horse drawn ride was over an hour wait. The castle was opulent. Lots of stairs! Fantastic views. We enjoyed it and Sybille, our guide told us many interesting facts while Gürtsl, our driver did a spectacular job navigating. The Alps were showing, too and Linderhof in snow was magical.”

Pure Bavaria Tours takes you from Munich to Neuschwanstein in a van for up to eight people, with hotel pickup, an English-speaking guide and a castle visit. The day also brings countryside stops, Wieskirche, a walk to Marienbrücke and a Bavarian farm for cheese and sausages. Guides include Armin, Mario and Tom. Castle entry and lunch cost extra.

“Amin was an excellent Tout Guide! Apart from the fact that he was on time he was very knowledgeable and pleasant, made it easy for the group to bond with each other and was generally very helpful. I took the particular excursion because I didn’t want to rush to see too many things and yes I felt that I had enough time to take photos without rushing. Too bad it was not during a day where the cheese farm was open (we didn’t go there but to a brewery instead but I knew this beforehand). Overall I really liked the whole experience!😊”
