Munich coach tour operator · Hochbrückenstraße 10, Munich
A full day from Munich by coach in a group of no more than 30: Neuschwanstein, a guided hike to Mary's Bridge, and a choice between an Alpine Coaster ride and the painted village of Oberammergau. Pick it for the guide who stays with you most of the day, and for a choice few castle trips give you.
The coach leaves at 8.30am from the operator's shop at Hochbrückenstraße 10 in central Munich: a luxury coach with a WC on board, an English-speaking guide and running commentary on the sights along the road. Before the castle comes your choice. The Alpine Coaster takes a chairlift up to 1,258 metres, then a 2.6 km run down the mountain where you set the speed, up to 40 km/h (weather permitting; €18, paid locally). Oberammergau is the quieter pick: a self-guided walk past the painted house fronts, the Lüftlmalerei, and the woodcarving of the village that has staged its Passion Play every ten years since 1634, with the next in 2030, per the Ammergau Alps tourist office.
Lunch is at a traditional Bavarian brewery if you want it, or a picnic of your own by the Alpsee. Then the guide leads the hike to Mary's Bridge (Marienbrücke) for the classic view of the white towers over the Pöllat gorge, before your timed castle tour. You can save the shuttle bus fare and hike about 30 minutes up instead. The day runs about 11 hours, and the listing asks you not to book anything in Munich before 8pm.
Castle ticket: optional. The operator reserves it, and it costs €26.50 for adults and €3.50 for under-18s, paid to the guide in cash, per the listing. The main guide does not go inside with you; the interior is the castle's own tour of about 30 minutes at a fixed time. Not included: hotel pickup, lunch, the coaster, the castle bus (€3.50 one way) and tips. The tour is not suitable for babies under 1 or travelers with limited mobility, and there are many stairs inside the castle. Free cancellation runs up to 2 days before, not 24 hours, so set your plans a little earlier for this one.
