Additional Information

Including Fast-Track Entry to Neuschwanstein Castle!

With this exclusive and exceptional tour, you can conveniently explore the two most grandiose edifices of Bavaria’s fairy-tale monarch Ludwig II, all within a day.

This unique opportunity makes a dream come true for many, who can immerse themselves profoundly in NEUSCHWANSTEIN & HERRENCHIEMSEE through an organized trip led by a professional and affable tour guide. Providing unintrusive yet comprehensive historical and recent insights, he will also ensure your prompt arrival for the castle tours. Revel in this magnificence and discover why the king resided in both places only for a handful of days in his life.

Equally impressive as the historical structures is the diverse and captivating scenery that you’ll experience during our voyage in our cozy and modern Mercedes or VW-Minivan. Relish the 2 hour 15 minute journey from the towering Alpine peaks around Neuschwanstein to Bavaria’s largest lake, anticipating a mini-cruise to Herrenchiemsee Palace.

  • Are you able to walk slightly uphill from the car park to Neuschwanstein castle - approx. 1,5 km/1mile in an hour’s time? If not, we have to calculate additional (waiting-) time for the horse carriage or the Shuttle bus (not operating during snow and ice) – Anyway, an approx. 500 meters/0.3 miles uphill walk (up to 15 % slope) or an approx. 800 meters/0.5 miles downhill walk (up to 19 % gradient) from the respective terminal to the entrance of the castle have to be managed in any case! We can assist you to make sure that you don’t miss your tour.
  • In Neuschwanstein castle there are 346 stairs alltogether (up and down) to be managed. If this is too much for you, and if you have an appropriate medical certificate of disability or restriction of mobility or similar (must be scanned and posted to us in advance), we can try to book an exclusive lift service only for you with a maximum of one companion, accompanied by a castle-staff. The elevator service is without additional costs, but (because of fire regulations) the number of tours with that service is very limited and must be reconfirmed by the castle authorities.
  • The (flat) walk to HERRENCHIEMSEE PALACE from the pier is approx. 20 minutes. Or use a horse carriage (not in winter season): One-way fare per adult (2022): € 4.00 (children 5-14 years: € 2.00)
  • Each castle can be reached also with strollers, but they are not allowed during the tour of the interiors.

Great day! - Stefan took our family (8 adults) on a trip the day after Christmas. Our travel plans changed due to Covid and he was very helpful with scheduling and what we needed to do to meet Germany’s Covid precautions. He was very knowledgeable and funny! We had a great time and would definitely book with him again!
