Overview

Passengers board a coach at Sonnenstrasse 1 in Munich at 8:45 a.m. The tour departs at 9:00 a.m. and travels past several Munich landmarks with live English commentary on the coach. The first stop is Linderhof Palace, reached around 11:00 a.m. Visitors can explore the gardens independently before the live guided tour in English begins at 11:10 a.m., lasting about 30 minutes. The palace, the smallest of King Ludwig II’s residences, reflects French Rococo and Baroque styles and is modeled after Versailles. The coach leaves Linderhof Palace at noon and drives through Oberammergau, a village known for its painted facades and woodcarving. The guide provides a coach tour through Oberammergau to cover more ground than a brief stop would allow. After roughly a 50-minute drive, the group arrives in Hohenschwangau for about four hours. The guide obtains skip-the-line tickets for the Neuschwanstein Castle tour. Visitors have free time to have lunch in local restaurants, visit Hohenschwangau Castle, walk along the Alpsee, or cross Marienbridge for views of Neuschwanstein Castle, weather permitting. Reaching Neuschwanstein Castle requires a 30 to 40-minute uphill walk or an optional horse-drawn carriage or shuttle bus ride for an extra fee. The guided tour of Neuschwanstein starts shortly after 4:00 p.m., lasts about 25 minutes, and includes an audio guide available in several languages. After the tour, travelers return directly to the coach, which departs at 5:30 p.m. for the return to Munich. This day trip lasts about 10 and a half hours with air-conditioned coach transport, live English guiding, audio guides at Neuschwanstein, and the option to buy skip-the-line tickets on the coach in the morning. Lunch and entrance fees are not included and must be paid separately by card.
