Enjoy an unparalleled experience with us:
Combine the world-famous Neuschwanstein castle (incl. GUARANTEED SKiP-THE-LINE admission) with a most spectacular feat of engineering:
The 114m (374 ft) high & over 400m (1,300 ft) long "Highline 179" is one of the longest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world!
It stands in exciting contrast to King Ludwig II's fairytale castle in medieval design. During the included tour of the interiors, learn how the tech-loving king turned NEUSCHWANSTEIN into a high-tech castle.
Just a few minutes' drive away is: THE BRIDGE - Crossing this imposing steel construction secured with 8 rock anchors is not for the faint of heart – ADRENALINE KICK HERE WE COME! Due to the high safety railings with netting it is completely safe, even for children! And it is open all year round.
If you suffer from fear of heights, you can admire this masterpiece from numerous vantage points - such as the 700-year old castle ruin EHRENBERG - without ever setting foot on it!

We had the most amazing day! Our guide, Karl was so much fun! We were a group of 8 adults- He picked us up from our hotel for the 2 hour drive from Munich, keeping us well entertained the whole way with info as well as some car karaoke! We stopped at a breathtaking lake in Austria on our way to the suspension bridge. Karl helped us purchase the tickets and gave very clear instructions. Then we drove on for our tour of Neuschwanstein Castle. Beautiful! Again, Karl was very helpful, coordinating our tickets and planning out the visit for us. He took all the stress out of trying to figure it out on our own. On our way back to Munich we stopped to check out the alpine coaster, and with almost no wait time we jumped on and took a thrilling ride! Such a great way to end the day! If you have the chance to book a private tour with Karl, do it- you won’t be disappointed!!

Neuschwanstein and hohenschwangau castles were amazing! Stefan drove us around a beautiful lake-very relaxing. Also saw the outside of Linderhof palace (wish we would have booked the 11 hour so we could go in). Ettal Abbey finished our trip. Highly recommend!
