Detailed itinerary

At Neuschwanstein, our driver guide will show you all the important sights and, of course, accompany you on your tour of the castle. There will also be time for you to explore on your own, but given the size of Neuschwanstein Castle, it makes much more sense to have our guide accompany you and show you the ideal and fastest ways to get past the crowds. And you'll get the perfect photos.

Oberammergau is a picturesque mountain village surrounded by mountains. Here we will visit the world-famous Passion Play Opera House and take a walk through the beautiful old town. And we will visit some shops selling the famous wood carvings typical of this region. And of course there will still be time for some shopping and an ice cream or coffee.

The world-famous Ettal Abbey is, of course, also part of our tour and should not be missed. Here we will take a short walk and visit the monastery. You can also buy souvenirs here.
