Enjoy the scenic drive in our comfortable bus (with WC onboard) along the Romantic Road.

Enjoy traditional Bavarian brewed beer and traditional fare at a local Brewery/beer garden overlooking the castle and finally tour the interior of Mad King Ludwig's castle without the hassle of booking tickets and standing in lines to collect them. We do this all with no waiting times for you.
Tickets for the tour of Neuschwanstein can be bought from the Bus Tour guide on the day. PLEASE NOTE - Skip the line tickets are not included in the tour price. We say this to avoid issues on the day of the tour.
We do however GUARANTEE your "Skip the Line" Neuschwasntein Castle Tour Tickets at a cost of €26.50 for adults and €3,50 for kids on the day which can be purchased from your Guide on the day of your tour on the bus.
One can also skip the Castle Tour completely and explore the alpine area for roughly 60 minutes.
Should you choose to tour Hohenschwangau castle instead of doing the bike ride, tickets are subject to availability and cost an ADDITIONAL €25.50 pp.
You can also skip both the bike ride and the Hohenschwangau Castle and instead, spend your time perusing the many gift shops in this small village and take a walk along the lake called Alpsee for wondrous views of the Austrian Alps. You will once again meet up with the rest of the group at 3 pm so lunch will be at your own leisure. Ask your guide on the day for more details.
As Bavaria is still very much cashed based, we recommend bringing enough cash with you to pay for the castle tickets, coffee's, gratuities etc.
