MY*GUiDE EXCLUSiVE Neuschwanstein Tour INCL. TICKETS from GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN

NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE – a dream destination for tourists from all over the world – … in times of Corona! Due to the comprehensive COVID-19 safety measures of the castle administration (reduction of the number of visitors by 83% to only 10 people per tour!) it is currently often impossible to get tickets at the desired date.

On this private full-day tour you will receive – even at short notice – GUARANTEED SKIP-THE-LINE ADMISSION for the guided castle tour, which you can experience virtually EXCLUSIVELY due to the small groups of visitors!

From the very beginning, you will be accompanied by your personal licensed tour guide, who is of course familiar with the current situation. So all you need to do is ENJOY this day!

You can also enjoy the entertaining & informative ride in our new & comfortable Volkswagen-Minivan, where we can visit a wealth of other attractions.

As soon as you have been picked up on time at your hotel/your address in Garmisch-Partenkirchen it means for you:

• Look forward to a journey exclusively for your group in our comfortable new Volkswagen Minivan.

• But above all, look forward to your well trained guide Stefan with more than 20 years of professional experience. He will provide everything worth knowing information about all the sights, the country and will find an answer to almost all your questions, also about Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

On the way to the castles it would be a pity to pass one of the overwhelming baroque churches.
Your guide will provide you with all the worth knowing information, for example about the very popular Wies-Church, or – what we not recommend less – one of the other nearby churches, which are still “secret tips”, quiet and peaceful far away from the tourist masses. Please note that if we drive on the Plansee route from Neuschwanstein castle to Linderhof palace, it is not possible to visit the Wieskirche. Instead, we’ll show you a similarly magnificent Baroque church.

NEUSCHWANSTEIN castle – dream destination for innumerable travelers from all over the world! No building in Germany is visited more often than Ludwigs most famous fairytale castle, whose construction was begun in 1869.

It was dedicated to Ludwig’s favorite composer Richard Wagner; the neo-Romanesque façade is deceptive that the progress made enthusiastic king build it as a high-tech castle.

During the 35-minute castle tour, you will be shown all the King’s completed living quarters. On the subsequent 15-minute walk to the exit, you will pass through one of the unfinished floors, after which you will see the unusually modern kitchen of the castle and the planned bathroom.

Just as worth seeing is Hohenschwangau castle, the neo-gothic summer residence of Ludwig II’s father, King Maximilian II. with Ludwig’s spectacular children’s room.
*****
For the approx. 45 min guided tour we will let you know, how to book a Skip-the-line-ticket, too. Entrance fee (2023): 23.50 € per adult ***** Please note that in addition to Neuschwanstein Castle, a maximum of 1 other castle (Hohenschwangau OR Linderhof) can be visited!

After the visit of the Fairy tale castles we pass Austrian territory on our way to Linderhof Palace on a breathtaking route along the mountain lake Plansee.
Please note that if we drive on the Plansee route, it is not possible to visit the Wieskirche. Instead, we’ll show you a similarly magnificent Baroque church.

Linderhof Palace is King Ludwig’s smallest but most intimate castle located in a lonely Alpine valley with breathtaking french baroque design and famous Bavarian trick paintings.

It was King Ludwig II’s favourite castle. Following the French model, Linderhof was the only one of the three “fairytale castles” to be completed. Here, too, the number of visitors per tour has been severely limited due to the COVID-19 safity reasons. On request, we can still offer you a guided tour of the staterooms. (Entrance fee 2023: € 10.00 per adult, children under 18 are free). Please note that only the interior visit of TWO royal castles is possible in one day (i.e. EITHER Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau OR Neuschwanstein and Linderhof OR Linderhof and Hohenschwangau).

The ‘Venus Grotto’ in the castle park is completely closed due to restoration work until 2025.

If you want to see (and understand) another baroque masterpiece concerning church decorations, inserted in a 12-page domed room from the 14th century, you should follow your guide in the Ettal Benedictine monastery near a little passo, just a 5 minutes’ drive away from Oberammergau.

Shortly after visiting Linderhof we reach Oberammergau where the postponed world famous PASSION PLAY took place in 2022. Your guide can give you a 15 minutes tour, especially for explaining the famous wallpaintings and the Passion Play theatre. Little shops offer inexpensive souvenirs. The regional speciality are wood carvings.

If you like, you can spend some free time in this charming village.

(OPTIONAL): A nearby chairlift takes you in picturesque mountains to a cosy mountain restaurant and to the start of the adventurous ALPINE COASTER at 1,270 m altitude: With the 1st world’s longest weatherproof toboggan run with magnetic brakes, you can reach the valley at a length of 2,600 metres with breathtaking views and adventurous curves.
