Bus was located across from Karlsplatz. Easy check in process. This was a small group tour approximately 24 vs others which are 60. Courtney, our tour guide, was very informative. She gave us information as we travelled to our 3 destinations. She gave us helpful tips. Answered all our questions. Take the shuttle bus to the castle and walk back to town. It cost $3.50 EU cash per person. Eat at Muller’s sausage cart for quick lunch. Bus trip included snacks on bus including- fruit, nuts, pretzels, a few candy options, water, cold drinks, coffee and last stop included beer. Highly recommend this tour! It costs a bit more but wel worth the extra money.

Knowledgeable tour guide and excellent bus driver (saying a lot as someone who is notorious for getting motion sickness at the most inopportune times). Lovely coach and well thought out itinerary. Solo traveler friendly!

The castles were beautiful, the bus was very comfortable, the snack bar was very thoughtful, and our guides were nice and knowledgeable. We appreciated how smoothly the ticketing went at each site too! It’s a full day and a fair price, just wished we would have skipped Oberammgau and had a little more time at Linderoff to explore the gardens. Thank you!

My husband and I had the pleasure of experiencing the Premium Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof VIP Tour during our stay in Germany. Faizan was THE BEST guide we could have asked for! He was knowledgeable and welcoming and he had the best tips/tricks for making our tours awesome. We highly recommend investing the extra $$ for the VIP experience. After meeting other guests at our hotel who had taken the "regular" tour, it seems like we had a much more luxurious experience. The coffee and snacks on the bus were top-notch, and we even got to drink a beer after the Linderhof palace tour. The weather in Bavaria was foggy and overcast for the first few days, but by the grace of King Ludwig II himself, we got blue skies and sunshine for photos from the balcony lookout. This was definitely a highlight of our trip and we would take this VIP tour again in an instant. Thank you Gray Line and Faizan (and the bus driver who I can't remember his name) for making this an incredible excursion!

My husband and I had the pleasure of experiencing the Premium Neushwanstein Castle and Linderhof VIP tour with Gray Line Munchener and we highly recommend booking this excursion. Our guide Faizan was a stellar host - his English was easy to understand and he educated the group with his extension knowledge of the castle, palace and surrounding area of Bavaria. The VIP package included coffee and snacks on the bus and is an exceptional investment compared to the "regular" tour based on feedback from a couple we met at our hotel. We even enjoyed a beer at the end of the Linderhof tour. We had adequate time for the tour and photos from Mary's Bridge. Thankfully, the weather cleared just in time to get some gorgeous shots from the castle's lookout (days leading up to our tour were very foggy and overcast.) This tour was a highlight of our time in Germany! Thank you Gray Line and Faizan for the wonderful experience!!!

Perfect trip from start to finish. Bus was great. Tour guide was very nice and had a lot of information for us. The castle itself was dreamy!

Not a good experience to begin with! The bus guide, Courtney was rude and arrogant! The remainder of the day improved.

Long day but very comfortable transport to the castles. Thoughtful engaging guide Sven who handled all the details.
- Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
- You are responsible for coming on time to the meeting points
- Tour only in English
- Oberammergau may not be accessible from early December to the end of March due to weather conditions
- In Winter, the opening of the Marienbrücke bridge depends on weather conditions and the castle administration.
- In winter, we first visit Linderhof, then Neuschwanstein in the afternoon.
- A moderate amount of walking is involved to reach the castles and inside Neuschwanstein there is approx. 350 steps
