This where the tour starts and you meet your guide. After that, it will be a 2 hour journey to Neuschwanstein.
Schloss Neuschwanstein
Schloss Neuschwanstein, often known as Germany’s "Cinderella castle," was actually the inspiration for a different Disney story, the ‘Sleeping Beauty’ castle at Disneyland. The entrance fee to the castle is not included (you can pay on the day), but by booking this tour in advance, you’ll receive skip-the-line access to Neuschwanstein so you won’t waste time standing in the ticket queue.

Once inside the enchanting structure, take a tour with a guide, who shares fascinating stories about the reclusive Bavarian king who commissioned a new residence in the 19th century. Thought to be mad, King Ludwig II desired a fantasy castle built in the mountains, an obsessive feat that was still incomplete when he died. Visit the best vantage points for views and photo ops of the castle’s towers, interiors and surrounding scenery such as the lake, gorge and equally beautiful Hohenschwangau Castle.

Great tour to a very special castle well led by a very professional and personable tour leader Anna. Radius tours is very well organised and communicates clearly at every point.

Always wanted to see the original fairytale castle. Our tour guide Nik was really nice and shared all the history behind the castles. Lots of climbing up dirt tracks, lots of stairs and general walking, just my cuppa tea. Overall an exhilarating and amazing experience. Well worth it!

We had a great tour thanks to Nic and Radius. Check in and finding the tour was easy. Nic was very informative and kept the tour well organized. We thought it was infinitely better than going to Neuschwanstein on our own.
