Top 10 Tours in Oberammergau, Bavaria

October 9, 2021 Terina Blouin

If you’re visiting Oberammergau in a year ending with zero, it’s all about the Passion Play. Villagers have performed it since the 17th century. It’s seven hours long (thankfully, with an intermission), and about half the townspeople participate in 100+ performances between May and October. And since hundreds of thousands are expected to attend over the course of those performances, if you’re in town, you’ll have company.

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.

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

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!

Pre-covid review: My friends and I were fortunate to have participated in this informative and lovely tour of Munich with Stefan in Oct. 2019, prior to the pandemic. While an itinerary was in place, I felt Stefan was also very flexible and accommodating to our interests and was able to make suggestions for other places if time or circumstance required, afforded to us by the tour's use of a private, air conditioned, comfortable van. He was pleasant and knowledgable and the tour felt safe and fun! Highly recommend this tour. Highlights of the tour included visiting beautiful Lake Starnberger, Dachau concentration camp and lunch at a charming English style biergarten.

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.
