Roll out of Munich for a full‑day VIP run to two of Bavaria’s most famous royal sites: Neuschwanstein’s skyward towers and Linderhof’s formal gardens. This coach tour pairs English commentary with included castle entrance and time for photos, lunch and short walks to dramatic viewpoints.

A mist lifts off alpine meadows as the coach peels away from Munich; the road climbs toward fairytale turrets framed by firs and limestone. You arrive at a narrow valley where swifts wheel above steep cliffs and the castle’s white walls catch the sun — Neuschwanstein sits like an idea of a kingdom, while Linderhof hides in a more intimate, terraced garden.
