We visited the castles on a gorgeous autumn day. The views from the hillside and castles were awesome. We especially enjoyed the history and opulence of the palaces. The tour was made easy by having an audio narrative in the language of your choice. A very worthwhile experience. Don't miss it! Side note: the Fairy Tale Castle can be a challenge for some. Although there are options to get from the village to the castle, it is still a bit of a climb. Once inside the Castle, there are a lot of spiral steps to navigate. I can't remember if I saw a lift or not. Be sure to check if this might be a concern.

This was a very organized trip. Annette made sure everyone was clear on instructions & meeting times. The Bavarian countryside was beautiful! We were actually surprised that we enjoyed the Linderhof Castle more than Neuschwanstein Castle. The village surrounding the Neuschwanstein Castle was charming & was a great place for lunch!

The tour was well organized. We knew exactly where we needed to be when and the guide was assertive and kind throughout. The availability to purchase beverages on the bus on the way back was convenient. I love history so learning about the people the time period was engaging.

Explore King Ludwig's Versailles-inspired castle, the Linderhof, and take a stroll in its opulent gardens along with an immersive guided tour.

Add a brief shopping and photo stop in the charming village of Oberammergau will refresh you for the rest of your day.

Enhance your experience with skip-the-line access to the castles and save time by not waiting in long queues.

Fun fact: Neuschwanstein Castle rises proudly upon the ruins of two former castles: Schwanstein Fortress and Hohenschwangau Castle, dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries.
