  Bernhard from Be Special Tours made our trip to Herrenchiemsee Castle an absolute joy. From Salzburg, the scenic drive flew by thanks to his hilarious stories about “Mad” King Ludwig. The castle itself? Jaw-dropping—especially the Hall of Mirrors and the eerie unfinished rooms. Bernds passion brought every detail to life, and the private tour let us explore at our pace. Boat ride + Alpine views = icing on the cake. Only regret? Not packing snacks (tip: bring a sandwich!). Already planning a winter return—thanks to Bernhard, we left feeling like Ludwig experts!

  Our trip to Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof was disappointing. The guide lacked enthusiasm and depth, making the experience underwhelming. Not recommended."

• Great to see

  I toured the tour with Alex, a great fun host! He made this tour an even more highlight. As I have already seen the other Ludwig’s castles, I must say that this one is even more of his extravagant splendor. The tour was more thorough than in the other castles and I really enjoyed it. Alex pointed out so many details and he was just a great host to be with!

  Alex our guide was very entertaining, despite of leaving quite a lot of information for the tour in this palace (which is all good) This place isLudwig’s homage to Versailles. Absolutely fascinating hall of mirrors. Due to the remote location, you have to take a ferry to it, there were quite few visitors (mostly Germans). our English tour seemed to be an almost private tour which was very enjoyable. Great guide and very informative. The unfinished parts of the island have been turned into a wildlife preserve, a great plus!

• Great combination

  We took this tour as a transfer tour from Salzburg to Munich and were glad we did! Bernie, our guide, was a great host,driving us through great landscape to the lake where we took a boat ride to the island, followed by a little walk and through a great guided tour of the palace. I really enjoyed it. I am glad we did not miss out on this palace. Absolutely stunning and overwhelming. Our hotel in Munich seemed to be just a bed and breakfast after seeing such splendor.

• Very nice and worth a visit

  Very informative and a very nice guided tour of the castle. The garden is a dream and the upgraded rooms are truly unique. A 20min walk from the port to the castle through the forest- very pleasant to walk. Back we took the carriage. Very nice indeed.

  Last-minute tour with Be Special Tours was a delight. Guide Bee was entertaining and informative. Boat ride offered stunning reflections. Palace, a replica of Versailles, was intriguing. A relaxing tour perfect for autumn colors

  We took this tour from Salzburg and it was a great one! We had a great experience between nature and this wonderful palace. The guide was very informative and was with us the whole time. We enjoyed the boat ride on the lake with the mountains in the background. Arriving on the island we had a nice walk through the nature to get to the palace. The foutains were jsut amazing. I have been to Versailles but this palace was way more and better than expected. The mirror room and the unfinished parts to see the comparison between the finished and the unfinished part was just amazing. On the way back the guide took us through the Bavarian countryside.
