“We had an outstanding day to the castles with our guide Bruce. He was punctual and friendly and well organized. The 2 castles were spectacular of course and we even got to tour the grotto at Linderhof (apparently open for the first time in several years). Finished the day with gelato in Oberammergau. Such a beautiful little town and such a special day. Would highly recommend without reservations.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 9 hours · from $471

Review of a private Bavaria tour from Füssen to Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, Oberammergau, and Wieskirche, with transport and castle tickets.

“Caroline was absolutely wonderful. She provided a great deal of history and context so we had a fuller understanding of all the sites that we visited. The four stops were very organized and easily accessed. Both castles were stunning and she provided a much more in-depth background of Ludwig ll than the internal tours of each. The inside of Weiskirche was more than expected and Oberammergau was a charming town to tootle about in. We enjoyed her company and were pleasantly exhausted, entertained, and full of knowledge after our day with Caroline.”
