What To Expect
Munich
Your journey begins as your personal guide picks you up from your hotel in Munich. After 1 h 45 m drive, we'll arrive in Hohenschwangau village, the gateway to Neuschwanstein Castle.
Neuschwanstein Castle, the most visited castle in South Germany, and was the inspiration for Disney castle. (With Skip the Line Service, you don´t have to worry about waiting for hours to get tickets, or tickets are sold out when you arrive). First, we take the shuttle to Mary’s Bridge (Marienbrücke) for some amazing pictures, then we walk to Neuschwanstein (the fairy tale castle) with a tour inside. (The castle entry is conducted as a group tour, in line with the castle's policy). You will know more about the Swan King (Ludwig II) king of Bavaria (1864-1886). And the history of Neuschwanstein Castle (which was built in 1869-1886). # Please note: During winter months, Marienbrücke may be closed due to snow and safety conditions.

5.00Lucas was our tour guide and driver (and photographer). He was very personable and attentive to any and all needs. Lucas also made outstanding suggestions for food and leisure time during, and for after the tour. The vehicle was clean and very nice while the tour was laid back and timely (but not rushed). This was an amazing day and experience. We DO recommend this tour company and would book again with them if the chance arises in the future. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.
Absolutely recommendable!

5.00We planned and booked this great tour with Amir. The arrangements made in advance with Amir worked well and were always clear. On site, we were accompanied by Paul as our tour guide. Paul picked us up at the hotel, accompanied us throughout the day, and catered to our individual wishes. We saw and learned so much that day, yet it was still a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of breaks and downtime. It was an all-around fantastic experience that we can recommend to everyone! Thank you, Amir and Paul, for making this possible!
We took a van to different villages and saw “Disney” castle and so much more!

Neuschwanstein Castle 🏰 - Magic in Munich 🇩🇪

5.00We had a wonderful experience and our tour guide, Tom, was exceptional. He was friendly, yet professional, and very knowledgeable. Although it was cold because we visited the castle in December, it was also magical with the snow falling and the ice on the trees. Inside the castle was incredible and we were impressed with the architecture and artistry, especially given the time period it was built. We are very thankful that we enjoyed this experience as a family.
Great Castles

4.00This experience was delightful. Although a lot of driving was involved, the countryside with its Bavarian farms and the Alps in the distance was picture-perfect! Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castles did not disappoint. Don’t miss either one as they are quite different. King Ludwig did a great job! Be prepared, though, with snacks, because we did not get to Oberammergau for lunch until 3:30 and we had left at 7:45 am. I was very excited to see Oberammergau, but certainly disappointed that it was only a quick drive through the town and lunch topped off with a Bavarian ice cream. We had about ten minutes free time after that which didn’t give us time to really see all the beautiful buildings covered with paintings. I would have loved to explore a bit longer.
Our tour guide became our friend

5.00Our tour guide, David Wolf was knowledgeable about history, speaks five languages, took us to off the beaten paths to quaint explorations. We were with him for two days, and couldn’t have been happier with our trip.

5.00Booked a 10 day tour for 12 from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with Amir’s Special Private Tours! Words cannot describe the experiences Amir planned for us and how he custom designed an itinerary that allowed us to visit three countries! Amir handled all of the details allowing me (usually the one to handle the details) to fully enjoy our vacation! From day one, we knew we were in good hands and he quickly became part of our family! We were blessed to see and experience so much on this tour thanks to Amir! As beautiful as our experiences were, we must say spending time with Amir made it even more special!
Very intresting tour, you can get great pictures and great experience.🙂

5.00The tour with Amir exceeded our expectations! Not only were the sites the most impressive we saw in Germany, the pace of the tour was perfect, and the explanations extremely interesting. Thanks to Amir (whose English is flawless) I have become fascinated with King Ludwig and his spectacular castles. Die Wiese Kirche is beyond words. And I won’t forget the delicious passionfruit flavored ice cream I had in Oberammergau.
