Itinerary

1
Stachus
We will meet at 8:45 a.m. at Sonnenstrasse 1, 80331 Munich. Look for the tour bus marked “Mentor Reisen,” where our friendly driver and guide will greet you upon check-in. We depart promptly at 9:00 a.m. (or 8:15 a.m. for May 1st departures). During our drive, you'll pass several Munich landmarks, which your guide will explain as we head towards Linderhof Palace and the Venus Grotto.
· Non-stop passage
2
Venus Grotto and Linderhof Palace Arrival
We anticipate arriving at the Linderhof Palace parking lot around 10:00 a.m. After the guide collects the tickets, we will walk together to the Venus Grotto. This short, slightly uphill walk takes about 20 minutes. The guided tour of the man-made grotto and its lake lasts approximately 15 minutes and is conducted live in English. Prepare to be captivated by the play of light and the intricate interior design. Please note: The Venus Grotto is only available during the summer season, from May 1st to October 15th.
· 20 min· Admission included
3
Schloss Linderhof
Around 11:00 a.m., we will depart the grotto and proceed to Linderhof Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2025. You will have personal time to explore the palace gardens before joining the guided tour of the palace itself. This smallest, fully furnished palace was constructed in the 19th century, inspired by French Rococo and Baroque styles, with Versailles influencing its architecture and gardens. The guided tour, conducted live in English, is scheduled for 11:40 a.m. and will last about 30 minutes. The tour bus will depart at 12:30 p.m.
· 1 h 30 min· Admission included
4
Oberammergau
As we travel between Linderhof Palace and Hohenschwangau (the village below Neuschwanstein Castle), we will pass through the charming artists' village of Oberammergau. This village is renowned for its traditional facade paintings (Lüftl-Malerei) and intricate wood carvings. Oberammergau is also world-famous for its Passion Plays, held every 10 years, which dramatize the final week of Jesus' life. We will conduct a coach tour through the village, allowing you to see more of its unique character than a brief stop would permit.
· Non-stop passage
5
Queen Mary's Bridge (Marienbrucke)
After a drive of approximately 50 minutes, we will arrive in the village of Hohenschwangau. Once the guide has secured the castle tickets, you will have some free time. We highly recommend visiting the Marienbridge (Marienbrucke), built in 1845 and retaining original railing elements. From this vantage point, the view of Neuschwanstein Castle is truly unparalleled. Don't miss the chance to capture a memorable photograph!
· 15 min
6
Schloss Neuschwanstein
You can reach Neuschwanstein Castle by foot (a 30-40 minute uphill walk), or by shuttle bus or horse-drawn carriage for an additional fee. Your guide will provide specific details. The guided tour of Neuschwanstein Castle will commence shortly after 4:00 p.m. and will last approximately 25 minutes, utilizing an audio guide. Following the tour, please return directly to the tour bus. Our return journey to Munich is scheduled to depart at 5:30 p.m.

Lucy was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information, hints and tips. Rexhep was a fantastic driver and drove very slowly through Oberamergau for us to see everything. He made excellent coffee too!! Highly recommend the tour we managed to see everything and do everything!

Just book this tour!!!
T4713XSlauras, October 2026
What a wonderful excursion! It was a very full day but very well presented by our guide Sabine. She was exceptional in every way and guided the entire group through all of our stops. The snacks and beverages on the bus were a huge bonus. It is a long day, and that castle hike is tough on the knees but we would do it again in a minute!
Response from the operator · Christa S
Thank you so much for your overwhelming words. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you again 😉
