Itinerary
We’ll meet at 8:45 a.m. at Sonnenstrasse 1, 80331 Munich. There you’ll find a tour bus marked “Mentor Reisen,” and our friendly driver and guide will welcome you as you check in. We’ll depart at 9:00 a.m. and drive past several Munich landmarks (which the guide will explain) on our way to the first stopp Hohenschwangau.
First, you can take a guided tour of Hohenschwangau Castle (additional fee depending on the option). Built in the 12th century, the castle was purchased by King Ludwig II’s family in 1832 and rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style. It served as the royal family’s summer and hunting residence.
This castle you can visit with a guided tour inside for an additional fee (optional)
The Marienbridge can be visited, from which you have a great view at Neuschwanstein Castle. In winter, the bridge is usually closed for safety reasons.
This lake is located right next to Hohenschwangau Castle. You can visit him in the free available time. Also suitable for bathing in summer.

Our guide Sabine was wonderful and prepared us fully for the day. She connected with every person on the your to ensure we had an incredible experience. Admission prices were steep, but very worthwhile. This was a full day excursion and it was packed with breathtaking sites and lots of historical information. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if Sabine is leading.
Our guide, Sabine was awesome! Excellent guide! Friendly, informative, and enthusiastic. Highly recommend!
Sabine was a wonderful and informative tour guide. I would absolutely recommend booking with her, she is very kind and provided us with lots of fun facts and “gossip” about the King!
Our tour guide Sabine was very knowledgeable and made sure we all knew where we needed to be and when. She suggested a restaurant for lunch and, although you can go wherever you like, I would recommend it as the place she took us too was excellent, particularly the cheeseburger! The castles are beautiful but there is a lot of walking so not great for those with mobility issues.
Beautiful atmosphere, our group wasn’t too big, Sabine was a spectacular guide, the castle tours were fun but shorter than I expected, lunch was delicious, wish there was slightly more time after both castle tours to look at the souvenir shops.
This was a very well informed organized timely tour. Sabine our tour guide was super sweet, friendly and engaging….she made the experience that much more fun!!! Would definitely recommend booking this tour!
