About This Experience in Munich

Step into the world of King Ludwig II, Bavaria’s legendary “Fairy Tale King,” on this exclusive day trip! I’ll pick you up in Munich, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, or Füssen in a comfy vehicle with drinks. First stop: Neuschwanstein Castle. Enjoy a guided tour inside, explore the fairy-tale grounds, and snap stunning photos from Marienbrücke. A hearty Bavarian lunch awaits nearby. Next, explore Oberammergau, famed for its Passion Play and Lüftlmalerei (painted houses). If you like, ride the thrilling Alpine Coaster—fun for all ages! We then head to Linderhof Palace—Ludwig’s Rococo gem inspired by Versailles. Tour the opulent interiors, stroll the formal gardens, and admire the exotic Moorish Kiosk. Our final stop is Ettal Abbey, a stunning Baroque monastery nestled in the Alps, still home to Benedictine monks. Enjoy breathtaking Alpine views and captivating stories about Ludwig’s eccentric life and mysterious death as we make our way back.
