These unique architectural marvels, set against the stunning backdrop of the Bavarian Alps, are sure to captivate you. Our tour begins at Schloss Linderhof, the smallest of the Bavarian king's palaces. Here, you have the freedom to choose your experience: opt for a live guided tour in English, wander through the beautifully landscaped gardens, or simply relax with a coffee or tea while soaking in the breathtaking scenery. We will then proceed to Hohenschwangau. Upon arrival, you'll have ample time to savor traditional Bavarian cuisine at a local restaurant and visit Neuschwanstein Castle. You have the option to take a guided tour inside one or both castles. Tickets can be purchased in cash from your tour guide.

Schloss Linderhof
We will arrive at Linderhof Palace parking lot around 10:45 AM. You can explore the palace gardens at your leisure before heading to the palace entrance. This 19th-century palace, the smallest of the fully furnished royal residences, draws inspiration from French Rococo and Baroque styles, with the Palace of Versailles serving as a significant influence on its architecture and gardens.

Oberammergau
Located on the route between Linderhof Palace and the village of Hohenschwangau, beneath Neuschwanstein Castle, is the charming artists' village of Oberammergau. It is renowned for its facade paintings (Lüftl-Malerei) and intricate wood carvings. The village is also famous for its Passion Plays, held every ten years, which reenact the final week of Jesus' life. We will conduct a tour of the town by coach, allowing you to see more of its unique character than a brief stop would permit. (This stop is not included in the "Neuschwanstein small group relaxed & direct" option!)

Queen Mary's Bridge (Marienbrucke)
The "Marienbrücke," built in 1845, still features original railing elements. From this vantage point, the view of Neuschwanstein Castle is truly spectacular. Don't miss the opportunity to capture a memorable photo from here!

The places we stopped...
Michelle_K, October 2026
The places we stopped were gorgeous! We learned so much history and truly appreciated the knowledge - but the best part was just the unparalleled beauty! The only negative was the length of the rides..but that is NO fault of the tour director. Be aware that if being on a bus for hours is a problem for you it could be troublesome.
★★★★★Viator review
Visiting two of King Ludwig’s castles

★★★★★Viator review
Good experience but take the shortcuts.
Nathan_B, October 2026
Overall this is a good experience however it felt rushed. We didn't get to enjoy the Marien bridge because we decided to walk and wish we were recommended to take the bus up. That's my only regret of this tour.
Response from the operator · Christa S
Thanks for your 4 stars review. We hope that, in the end, the good memories will outweigh the bad!
