Schloss Neuschwanstein, Schwangau, Bavaria, Germany Your private tour guide will pick you up at your hotel in Munich and drive to Hohenschwangau village. then we take the shuttle bus to Marienbrücke, a 19th-century crossing that overlooks the Pöllat Gorge. Gaze down at Neuschwanstein Castle with its elaborate turrets and parapets, and then pose for photos set against the backdrop of the heart-stopping Tegelberg mountain.
Then, head inside Neuschwanstein Castle for your walking tour, and learn how it was built for King Ludwig II in the 19th century. While the Romanesque Revival castle was intended as Ludwig’s retreat, the building was never completed and the king spent less than half a year living inside it. Admire the stately interiors, including murals that pay homage to compose Richard Wagner – Ludwig’s operatic idol – inside the Minstrel’s Hall. Explore rooms like Ludwig’s bedroom and admire the dazzling ornamentation of the Byzantine Throne Room.

Nestled deep in the forest, Linderhof was the castle where the eccentric king spent most of his time.

We had two full days in Fussen, Germany, and wanted to see Neuschwanstein (the castle that influenced the Disney castle logo), and other castles and places in the Fussen area without waiting in lines, buying tickets or transferring or finding needed transportation. The manager Astrid of European Castle Tours organized the day trip for us, reviewed what we wanted to see, and assigned a car and driver to get the tickets and take us to where we wanted to go. The driver was excellent, and even arranged two horse and bugey rides to get a great feeling for the local area as we toured. European Castle tours is an outstanding service, allowing you to enjoy the sites and feel comfortable seeing everything on your bucket list. Check them out.
