Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace Day Trip from Munich

Joe_A, Jun 2026

Perfect family trip tour

This tour was amazing. You stop at the palace first with a tour of that, then head to the town at the bottom of the castle. You have enough time to eat, shop, etc before your neuschwanstein castle tour. I recommend taking the shuttle bus for ~3 euros per person where they drop you off at the bridge overlooking the neuschwanstein castle. Once inside there's another tour guide that goes over the castle history etc. When finished, walk downhill back to the town and the bus. Bring plenty of water.

Learning from history

Sam, our guide, was awesome He dealt with a very difficult history in an manner that made us appreciate what happened in Dachu and why it is such an important site. He have us more than enough details for us to appreciate the horrors committed there, and how important it is to confront the past, learn from it, and commit to prevent recurrence. more than a tour, Sam made it a living classroom. Well done.

Deyse did a great job. Helpful and positive throughout the day. She gave us several good tips about visiting each of the sights. She managed the group carefully and we remained on or ahead of schedule with no stragglers etc. Jordan the driver also did a professional job. Though more expensive than some other options, Deyse made it worth the extra money. Well done!

The smile of Christian, our tour guide

We had an excellent day trip to Salzburg with Radius Tours and would highly recommend it, especially for a first visit to the city of Mozart. Despite an unexpected delay in public transport, the team at Radius Tours was extremely kind and accommodating, ensuring that we were able to join the tour without any stress. This flexibility and customer care set a very positive tone from the beginning. Our tour guide, Christian, was a tremendous asset to the experience. His warm smile truly lifted the mood, even in the rainy weather that accompanied us throughout the day. He was kind, easygoing, and great fun to be around, while also being highly knowledgeable and attentive. Christian made everyone feel comfortable and ensured that the group stayed engaged and well looked after. The tour itself was perfectly organised, providing a well-balanced glimpse of the beautiful city of Salzburg. From its rich cultural heritage to its charming streets and iconic landmarks, the experience captured the essence of this UNESCO-listed city, famously associated with Mozart and renowned for its historic Old Town and architecture. Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable and very well-run excursion. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Munich and wanting to discover Salzburg in a seamless and memorable way.

Tour of Munich

We really enjoyed the walking tour with Anna. It was an excellent introduction to Munich, providing fascinating insights into the city’s history, Bavarian culture, and local traditions. Anna was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. The route covered all the main attractions at a comfortable pace, and the length of the tour was just right. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Munich for the first time. The only slight downside was the location of the office, where there were a few homeless and intoxicated people outside, but this didn’t affect the quality of the tour itself.

Go Team Lana and Neuschwanstein

This was a perfect tour to explore the beauty of Bavaria and its iconic Neuschwanstein Castle. Our tour guide, Lana, had extensive local knowledge of the area and the history of King Ludwig II. My family of four with two college-aged kids enjoyed all that we were able to do. Lots of stairs in the castle and I highly recommend paying for the bus ride up to the castle and walking back down. Gorgeous area. I could have spent the whole day there exploring the Hohenschwaungau Castle as well.
