Schloss Neuschwanstein
Your private tour guide will pick you up at your hotel in Füssen and surroundings and drive to Hohenschwangau village. then we take the shuttle bus to Marienbrücke, a 19th-century crossing that overlooks the Pöllat Gorge. Gaze down at Neuschwanstein Castle with its elaborate turrets and parapets, and then pose for photos set against the backdrop of the heart-stopping Tegelberg mountain. Then, head inside Neuschwanstein Castle for your walking tour, and learn how it was built for King Ludwig II in the 19th century. While the Romanesque Revival castle was intended as Ludwig’s retreat, the building was never completed and the king spent less than half a year living inside it. Admire the stately interiors, including murals that pay homage to compose Richard Wagner – Ludwig’s operatic idol – inside the Minstrel’s Hall. Explore rooms like Ludwig’s bedroom and admire the dazzling ornamentation of the Byzantine Throne Room.
Pilgrimage Church of Wies
We leave Hohenschwangau for a short ride to the famous Wieskirche (Church in the Meadow) for a visit to the stunning rococo interior. It is the only monument in the region on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.

This tour seemed costly at first, however, the peace of mind of having a guide and the tickets taken care of was well worth the price! Matthew helped make our time in Fussen so enjoyable! He was easy to communicate with prior to our tour and during the tour. He was very informative and well spoken. His van accommodated the 5 of us comfortably. You can tell that he loves his town and knows so much about it! I would highly recommend this tour and if you can request Matthew you won't be disappointed! Thank you again!

It was part of our dream trip in late September 2024. Matheus our guide was very friendly, informative, interactive, and made us very comfortable throughout this spectacular journey. We are also thankful to his Manager that our last-minute changes were nicely accepted and well-managed. We started the day visiting the Neuschwanstein a real-life fairytale Castle which was an unforgettable experience (must recommend the horse carriage ride for a great experience while returning from the castle). Then he drove us through scenic Bavarian country sides including beautiful turquoise blue Lake Plansee with the serenity of the mountains in the background. We were 4 of us (inc. one young kid and an elderly person) but we did not feel any trouble with walking as he gave us personalized attention and never rushed us to anything. We also enjoyed the splendid lavishness of the Linderhof Palace built by King Ludwig II, loved being able to walk around and explored the village of Oberammergau, tried local delicacy and finally enjoyed the stunning rococo interior of Wieskirche. The whole trip was well organized, timely and we had a wonderful autumn day exploring various country sites. We definitely recommend this trip with Matheus in European Castles Tours to everyone.

The tour was wonderful! We really enjoyed the different scenery views and the tours. Our tour guide was amazing. The only thing is this is not light walking. We would call it moderate because there are many many stairs and hills to walk. Still, it was worth every minute. Our tour guide Matheus was so wonderful and drove us through beautiful land and took us to the prettiest town in Bavaria . He did not rush us and we received a whole days experience we will never forget. It was a great day we will use Viator again.
