Overview

This small-group bus tour lasts about three hours and starts in Hohenschwangau village, at the foot of Neuschwanstein Castle. It includes skip-the-line entrance tickets and a professional guide who leads the group outside the castle. Once there, you use an audio guide available in multiple languages to explore the castle’s interior at your own pace. The tour includes a bus ride up to Queen Mary’s Bridge (Marienbrücke), a 35-meter steel footbridge over the Pöllat gorge that offers panoramic views of the castle and surrounding landscape. The bridge visit lasts about 15 minutes and gives time for photos. If the bus or bridge is closed, you will walk to the castle instead. After the castle visit, you descend by horse carriage to Hohenschwangau village and have about 10 minutes to walk to Alpsee lake nearby. The timing also covers transportation and walking between stops. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel transfers are not included.
