★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 788 reviews · 1 hour · from $50Our pick

Skip the long Neuschwanstein lines with an early ticket pickup, timed castle entry, and a multilingual audio guide with headset.

“The tour time was incorrect but that wasn’t a problem as we had allowed the whole day. The pickup location was a poorly signed hostel which was unexpected. We were expecting an information centre or tourism office. The hostel was difficult to identify as anything other than a house in the snow.”

Ride a bike through Bavaria’s lakes and villages, then tour Neuschwanstein with skip-the-line timing, all from a comfy Munich bus.

“This tour was one of the highlights of our Europe trip. Our guide, James, was fantastic and very informative about the history of Bavaria, Neuschwanstein, and local culture and food. We ate lunch with him and greatly enjoyed his company. The tour drives you from the meeting place in Old Town Munich to Schwangau, and then you ride bikes through the area to see some of the lakes and castles. Unfortunately, it was raining when we rode bikes (bring raincoats like we did as we learned it rains in Bavaria a lot!). We managed, and James took us to the best places for taking good photos of the castles (not…”

“I was dealing with Stefan, the owner of "Sightseeing Bavaria Tours". He did not understand I needed the use of the elevator at the castle. I have severe asthma and can not manage the hundreds of steps. I also could not do the walk from the bottom of the hill to the castle. It is steep and cobblestones. He kept repeating the time restraints this request would cause. My husband finally emailed him and told him it was not a want but a must for me to see the castle. He finally agreed to obtain a special ticket that included lift use. I do not recommend this tour because of…”

“Book this tour! Absolutely incredible experience with Caroline. She was extremely knowledgeable and we loved spending the day with her! She gave us a local’s perspective along with an amazing amount of historical information. Definitely the best tour we’ve ever taken! Loved that we could personalize it - they knew the area really well and could advise on how long each portion of the tour would take (which allowed us to stop for some cheese on our way back to the hotel!) As for the parts of the tour - Caroline knew all about the town of Fussen and Neuschwanstein. The Highline 179 was very cool! My 14-year-old son loved…”
