Pure Bavaria Tours · Hotel pickup in Munich
Pure Bavaria Tours' small-group day by van: pickup at your Munich hotel, the Romantic Road, Neuschwanstein with a guide, then the Wieskirche and a Bavarian cheese farm. Pick it for the country roads and the stops a big coach cannot make.
The day starts at your hotel in Munich: pickup and drop-off are included, and the exact time comes with your booking. You travel in a small van (the listing limits the group to 8) with a guide who also drives, over about 10 hours. The route follows the Romantic Road through villages and open farmland towards the Alps. Guests describe a relaxed, conversational day, very different from a full coach.
At Neuschwanstein you get a guided walking tour around the castle, time for pictures and the walk to Mary's Bridge (Marienbrücke) for the view over the gorge. A stroll through a gorge with waterfalls follows before the drive back. On the way the van stops at the Wieskirche, the Pilgrimage Church of Wies, on UNESCO's World Heritage list since 1983. The listing places it on the return, and several guests describe it as the first stop, so the order can vary. The last stop is a Bavarian cheese farm with mountain views, where you can order a cheese and sausage platter with fresh bread.
The castle ticket is not included in the tour price. The operator books the tickets for you, so you do not reserve anything yourself, and you pay €21 per person plus the €2.50 booking fee in cash to the guide after the tour, per the listing. Under-18s go free on the official prices. Not included either: lunch. From November to mid-April the cheese farm opens only Friday to Sunday; on weekdays the tour stops at the Schlossbrauerei Schwangau, a Bavarian beer hall, instead. The listing marks the tour as not suitable for people with mobility impairments. A friendly tip: bring euros in cash for the tickets and the platter.

★★★★★The tour guide, Mario, picked us up at our hotel which was very convenient. He was personable, friendly and knowledgeable. We stopped at 2 historic churches on our way to the castle and drove through Bavarian villages and the beautiful countryside. [...] On the drive home through the countryside we stopped at a family creamery/dairy for a beer and cheese and meat platter. It was a perfect afternoon activity. We highly recommend this tour!
★★★★★Our tour to Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich was magnificent! Our guide, Armin, was knowledgeable, humorous, and well connected in the area. Side tours to The Pilgrimage Church of Wies and the Schonegger Cheese Dairy were beautifully scenic and made the day even more enjoyable and memorable! Five Stars! Highly recommend!
★★★★★We had an amazing tour with Armin! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we got to see many things throughout the day including a couple of small towns in Germany. The castle was stunning and it was nice that there were options for a more active trek up to the castle via hiking or a more relaxed trip up via the shuttle to accommodate different people. The Bavarian cheese farm was definitely a highlight as well!!
★★★★★Mario was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide! Our highlight of this tour was a drive through Bavaria’s charming countryside. We also ended our day by having lunch at a Bavarian cheese farm overlooking the rolling hills. We had a memorable time!
