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. 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.

Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich

5.00We recently took the Radius Tours Neuschwanstein Castle tour from Munich with Werner as our guide, and we had a very good experience. Werner was very well informed about Neuschwanstein Castle, King Ludwig II, and the surrounding area. During the trip to and from the castle, he shared helpful information about the region, which made the travel time more interesting and gave us better context before arriving. The tour itself was organized well, and Werner provided an informative and enjoyable experience. His knowledge of the castle and the history behind King Ludwig added a lot to the visit. We appreciated the tour and would recommend Radius Tours and Werner to anyone interested in visiting Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich.
Great tour. Highly recommended especially with tour leader Anna

5.00While the trip itself was amazing, the guide Anna was even better. She was so knowledgeable and made it a point to know everyone on the trip personally. Thank you for helping us make this a memorable trip.

1.00Title: Disappointing experience due to inflexible ticket policy I arrived at Neuschwanstein Castle on time with a valid ticket, but due to internet problems I could not immediately show the ticket on my phone. Instead of trying to find a solution – such as looking up my reservation by name or allowing a short delay to restore the connection – staff simply refused to let me enter. As a paying visitor who was there on time, this felt very unfair and unhelpful. Because of this inflexible and customer‑unfriendly approach, my visit was ruined and I cannot recommend this attraction.
Amazing tour highly recommend

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip with Radius tours. The excursion was very well organised and our guide, Werner, was warm, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended if you are staying in Munich or the local vicinity and have a day to spare.
Long day, but worth it!

5.00Great trip. Bus ride was smooth and Thomas filled the time with a lot of background and stories - he was very knowledgeable on any topic we threw at him! It would have been nice to get the exact breakdown of the schedule ahead of time so we could plan a bit better (knowing when a bathroom break might happen and that there wasn’t a chance to buy coffee/snack, to consider bringing a bathing suit for the lake, etc), especially as this was provided while on the bus via QR code with no WiFi, meaning we couldn’t access it ourselves as we didn’t have cellular. I also wish we went into the castle earlier so we had more time to explore the town afterwards. All in all, great trip and wonderful tour guide.
