What to expect

Stachus
Pass by

We’ll meet at 8:45 a.m. at Sonnenstrasse 1, 80331 Munich. There you’ll find a tour bus marked “Mentor Reisen,” and our friendly driver and guide will welcome you as you check in.
We’ll depart at 9:00 a.m. and drive past several Munich landmarks (which the guide will explain) on our way to the grounds of Linderhof Palace and the Venus Grotto.
From April 15 until October 15 we depart at 8:30 am and meet at 8:15 am!
20m · Admission ticket included

You will arrive at Linderhof Palace parking lot around 10 a.m. After the guide picks up the tickets at the ticket center, you will walk together to the Venus Grotto. The path is slightly uphill and takes about 20 minutes. The guided tour of the artificially created grotto with a lake lasts about 15 minutes and is conducted live in English. You will be fascinated by the play of colors and the interior design. After 10 years of authentic restoration, the grotto reopened to visitors in 2025.

Attention: Only in summertime available from May 1st until October 15th.
Schloss Linderhof
1h 30m · Admission ticket included

Around 11 a.m., you will leave the grotto and head to Linderhof Palace, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2025. Explore the gardens surrounding the palace on your own and then make your way to the palace entrance. The smallest, fully furnished, palace was built in the 19th century in the French Rococo and Baroque styles. The Palace of Versailles influenced both the architectural style and the gardens.
The guided tour takes place live in English at 11:40 a.m. and lasts about 30 minutes.
The tour bus departs at 12:30 p.m.
Oberammergau
Pass by

On the route between Linderhof Palace and the village of Hohenschwangau, below Neuschwanstein Castle, lies the artists’ village of Oberammergau. It is known for its facade painting (known as Lüftl-Malerei) and woodcarving. The Passion Plays, which take place there every 10 years, have also become world-famous. They depict the last week of Jesus’ life, from Palm Sunday to Easter.
You’ll take a tour of the town by coach, as this allows you to see much more than a brief stop would.
Queen Mary's Bridge (Marienbrucke)
15m

After a drive of about 50 minutes, we arrive in the village of Hohenschwangau. Once the guide has picked up the tickets for the castle at the ticket office, you’ll have some free time. We definitely recommend visiting the Marienbridge. The "Marienbridge" was built in 1845 and still features original elements on its railing. From there, the view of Neuschwanstein Castle is truly unique. You absolutely must take the opportunity to snap a photo from there!
Schloss Neuschwanstein
4h · Admission ticket included

You can reach Neuschwanstein Castle on foot (about a 30-40 minute uphill walk), by shuttle bus/by horse-drawn carriage for a fee. Your guide will provide you with the exact details.
The guided tour of Neuschwanstein Castle begins shortly before 4:00 PM and lasts approximately 25 minutes with an audio guide.
Afterward, please return directly to the tour bus. The return trip to Munich departs at 5:30 PM
