Are you able to walk slightly uphill from the car park to Neuschwanstein castle - approx. 1,5 km/1mile in an hour's time? If not, we have to calculate additional (waiting-) time for the horse carriage or the Shuttle bus (not operating during snow and ice) – Anyway, an approx. 500 meters/0.3 miles uphill walk (up to 15 % slope) or an approx. 800 meters/0.5 miles downhill walk (up to 19 % gradient) from the respective terminal to the entrance of the castle have to be managed in any case! We can assist you to make sure that you don't miss your tour.

In Neuschwanstein castle there are 346 stairs alltogether (up and down) to be managed. If this is too much for you, and if you have an appropriate medical certificate of disability or restriction of mobility or similar (must be scanned and posted to us in advance), we can try to book an exclusive lift service only for you with a maximum of one companion, accompanied by a castle-staff. The elevator service is without additional costs, but (because of fire regulations) the number of tours with that service is very limited and must be reconfirmed by the castle authorities.
The (flat) walk to HERRENCHIEMSEE PALACE from the pier is approx. 20 minutes. Or use a horse carriage (not in winter season): One-way fare per adult (2022): € 4.00 (children 5-14 years: € 2.00)
Each castle can be reached also with strollers, but they are not allowed during the tour of the interiors.

German castles

Daniel_C, Jul 2023

Was great! Guide was awesome! That's all I have to say about that. Stupid is what Stupid does. Life is like a box of chocolates

Castle tours

Denise_C, Jan 2023

Our guide was brilliant giving us not only a historical account of the castles but information about towns and thing that we passed on the car journey there.

Great day!

Ellen_H, Dec 2021

Stefan took our family (8 adults) on a trip the day after Christmas. Our travel plans changed due to Covid and he was very helpful with scheduling and what we needed to do to meet Germany’s Covid precautions. He was very knowledgeable and funny! We had a great time and would definitely book with him again!
