 About Our Neuschwanstein Private Castle Tour

Private tours with one of our driver/tour guides usually start with pick-up at your hotel at 8:30 and generally last until about 7:00 pm, sometimes a bit longer. It’s your time, your tour, and naturally, you call all the shots. Most of our guests choose one of the following 3 itineraries, each of which has several possible variations and options depending on your interests, the weather, etc. Final decisions regarding exact itineraries are determined or confirmed on the morning of the tour in consultation with your guide. 

Every tour is customized and has different prices, however, you can take as a reference to our prices for private day trips (up to and usually 11 hours) which are as follows:

1-2 Persons 595€  /  3-4 Persons 650€  /  5-6 Persons 750€  /  7-8 Persons 850€
