Neuschwanstein Castle Tour from Munich

A full day tour of Neuschwanstein castle with pick up at your hotel in Munich, advanced entry into the castle (no waiting in lines!) and a fun historical tour that details of the history of Bavaria, Ludwig II, and more. After our castle tour and a late lunch we then make our way slowly towards the village of Murnau. Along the way we can stop at a 14th century Benedictine monastery or a really fun summer bobsled run. Once we arrive in Murnau around 4:30 or 5:30 p. m. I then put you on the train for a short 45 minute train ride back to the Munich Main Train Station located in the center of town. The cost of the train is included in the tour. Did I mention I LOVE this train ride? It passes Starnberg Lake where Ludwig II mysteriously dies as well as Uffing am Staffelsee where Adolf Hitler hid after his famed Beer Hall Putsch fails. The train will drop you back in downtown Munich in time for dinner!

Pick up at your hotel at 8:00 a. m. in our 7 passenger Mercedes V - Class - Direct two hour drive to the castle - Advanced entry into the castle (no lines!!) - Historical tour of the castle, Ludwig II, Bavaria, the Wittlesbach kings, the birth of Germany, the Oktoberfest, and Trachten (lederhosen and dirndl's) - After your castle tour of the interior we make our way down the hill for lunch either at the castle or along the road towards Murnau - Weather permitting I like to stop at the local summer bobsled track for an exciting run down the mountain - For those history nerds like me I also love stopping at the famed Ettal Monastery built in the 14th century - Then to the village of Murnau where you will have ticket in hand for a short 45 minute train ride back into the city of Munich. This train ride is direct and brings you to the central Munich train station after a gorgeous ride leaving the Alps passing the lake where Ludwig II died.
