Neuschwanstein Castle is wrapped in mystery and beauty. The former dream of the Wittlesbach king, Ludwig II, the castle is not only gorgeous but the perfect place to explore the mystery of Ludwig's untimely demise and begin to learn the Bavarian Beer Culture. After a 'skip the line' entrance into Neuschwanstein castle the your guide will bring you to the village of Murnau where you will visit the Griesbräu brewery for your tour of the brewery given by the brewmeister himself. An obscene amount of sample beers and beer schnapps await along with your very own "Brewery Certificate." Once the brewery tour is concluded we make our way to the Murnau train station for a short train ride back into the city of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Inclusions: Professional guide, Hotel pickup, Guaranteed to skip the long lines, Private tour, Alcoholic Beverages, Dinner, Bottled water, Our "Coronavirus Safety Standard of Travel" on all vehicles and guides

No words necessary for this one... I was for so long trying to visit this Castle and this citythat when I finally got there, I think I even cried ... it was super emotional for me, the only experience in the beautiful town. there is much to do there, apart from the obvious visit to the splendid castle of Neuschwanstein there is also another castle in front the Hohenschwangau Castle, a lake( Alpsee) where you can go cayaking, walk through the splendid forest, many restaurants, museum (Museum der bayerischen Konige), in short there are many things to entertain all the family. I know that I will repeat this adventure again I only stayed one day because I went by bus from Munich and had to return at the end of the afternoon

The trip was very panoramic. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The tour inside Neuschwanstein wasn't up to my expectations: crowded, not personalized, instructions sometimes hard to understand, and you barely see any of the castle. Linderhof is small, but very pretty.

BOOK FOR ONLY ONE PERSON! THE VIATOR TICKET WILL COVER 1-5 PEOPLE! Hello, I have been taking Tours to Neuschwanstein and the other places for 15 years, I actually lived in Oberammergau for 15 years I don´t think that there are many native speaking English Tour Guides with more experience of Oberammergau than myself, I lived there as a waiter and Bar Landlord for 15 years with 3 Passion Play Seasons. Unlike some Tour Guides I try to sort myth from legend, the Passion Play was not because Oberammergau was spared the horror of the Plague in 1633, quite the opposite, it was devastated. I hope to see you very soon! Regards, Chris Edwards LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO TAKE A BUS!

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Free WIFI on board!, No food, but I supply chilled soft drinks and Bottled Water, not a lot of choice, but free!

Exclusions: The tickets to the Castle /entry fees are not included as I can´t know how many will take the Tour!, Meals are normally taken near the Castle to save time and make use of the time available before entering the Castle.

We were so happy that we decided to book the full day Castle Tours with Chris Edwards. He picked us up at our hotel and spent a full day showing us the area, followed by arranging tours to both Neuschwanstein and Linderhoff castles. He reserved our English speaking tour for both castles in advance, making our wait time during the busy summer season much quicker, and maximized our time. Chris’s knowledge of the area and its history provided a great introduction to not only the castles, but southern Germany and Austria. Chis was very personable, and when he learned of our interest in WWII, tailored our travel to show us some local buildings and homes that were important during that time. I highly recommend Taxi Chris Edwards Neuschwanstein Castle Tours if you are looking for personal service, flexibility to your needs, and an informative guide who has lived in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area for over 30 years.

Absolute Best Experience while in Europe! After much research, my family booked this tour with Stefan before we left the United States. You never know quite what to expect doing this, but I am SO GLAD we did! Even before the date of the tour, we received communication from Stefan concerning our itinerary and what to expect. Stefan arrived ahead of time at our hotel in Munich, and greeted us with a huge smile, extremely clean automobile, and fresh, cold water for all! He was so open to creating an experience that would fulfill our wishes. Our goal was to not only see Neuschwanstein, but also the local, surrounding communities, traditions, and food. Stefan really delivered! His personal knowledge of the area was incredible. We were able to see Oberammergau, the location of the beautiful Passion Play, as well as the stunning frescos in the village. Stefan also took us to the majestic Ettal Monastery, as well as Wieskirche, the Pilgrimage Church of Wies, all while viewing the gorgeous Alps in the distance. As if this weren't enough to fulfill our day, we headed to Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenschwangau Castle, and the surrounding village. It was all so amazing, that our family will never forget the experience! Stefan shared his beautiful home country, while allowing us to select what we would like to experience the most! I wanted to have a picnic this day, near the castle, as a memory we would have forever. Ultimately, Stefan made it happen! We had a wonderful bottle of wine, glasses for all, and Stefan produced local delicacies that we had never had. It was such an amazing closure to a beautiful adventure in Bavaria. As we headed back to our hotel in Munich, Stefan filled the car with polkas, singing, and great, lasting cheer that has sustained us through these trying times of no travel with COVID. We miss our travels, and we will most definitely return to more tours and adventures with Stefan! Thank you for such wonderful memories!

The drive was super smooth and the whole tour of Neuschwanstein and Linderhof was amazing and so beautiful. Despite how freezing cold it was, it was def worth freezing my fingers and toes lol. When we went, there was snow and it really felt like you stepped into the world of Narnia and felt like we were in a complete different realm. Our tour guide was super fun and experienced and her knowledge behind the history of the castles and Bavaria was super intersting and you just want to listen to everything she says. Loved it til the very end.

Amir tells the rich history of ludwig the second and his dream of neuschwanstein. This tour is active and fun for all. He is energetic and clearly nows his stuff. In comparise the actual castle tour by the bavarian government (not given by amir sadly) was pale and short. They should hire him to do it.

Booked to go on the tour on 29/10/2020. Arrived at the meeting point at 08:00 to be early and there was nobody to meet us. We waited to see if others would turn up for the tour but at 08:30 (departure time) we called the office to be told that they had no record of a tour taking place on that day. Still waiting for a refund.
