VIP Daytrip Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Grotto from Munich

Julia_M, Sep 2026

What a great experience!...

What a great experience! Our guide, Sabine, was so friendly and informative. The castles and respective tour guides were knowledgeable and spoken English quite well. We even had a few minutes to get off the bus in Oberammegau to enjoy the picturesque town. I would highly recommend this tour.

STEPHEN_C, Sep 2026

Very thorough and well run guided tour of the Dachau Memorial.

Mat was an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. He's obviously very experienced and this pays off for all of us because he knows how to pace the flow of information and he was able to easily control the flow of the tour even when interruptions occurred like having to wait for the bus that just left when we got off the train, he used the time to give us some further background so we'd have more context for when we arrived in Dachau. Very respectfully and professionally presented, we would recommend this experience very highly.

Excellent History Tour of Munich

This was an excellent, easy and low intensity walking tour of some key sites of the Nazi regime in Munich. The best part was Dan’s (our tour guide) knowledge of history and his personal/family experience during this time. Dan was great and I learned more about European history in 2.5 hours than I have in my life! Highly recommend

Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace Day Trip from Munich

Neuschwanstein Castle & Linderhof Palace

Wonderful experience of a lifetime! Pedro was a fantastic, informative and entertaining guide! It’s a physical activity with lots of stairs and walking but nothing the average person can’t handle. Rickety, moving wooden boards on the narrow bridge over the gorge, where everyone gets the best photos of the castle behind them were unnerving for many of us. Again, nothing we couldn’t handle, but your person with a real fear of heights would find it terrifying.! Linderhof Palace was a beautiful surprise. loved everything about it both inside and out.

Theresa_D, Sep 2026

Tour was Excellent!

We debated whether to do this tour on our own since it was fairly easy from old town Munich, but we decided to do the tour. we are so happy we took the tour! Maxine was an excellent guide and has a very pleasant personality. From the time we boarded the train she gave us background information on what we would be seeing and information along the route on sights from the train. Once we arrived, the tour was awesome, and we had plenty of free time to wander and see things on our own. Upon departing, Maxine was very helpful in explaining how to get back to where we wanted to go. Huge thanks to Maxine.

Team Leon All the Way!

What an amazing experience to have spent the day traveling back in time to Neuschwanstein Castle and the city that surrounds it. It was incredible to see and even better with Team Leon! He made sure we saw everything, showed us where to go and times to get there to maximize our day and took care of everyone on the bus the entire day. He was a wealth of history and great energy and fun to be around. This one can’t be missed if you’re in Munich and doing it on Team Leon makes it even better!
