Day 1: Nymphenburg and Herrenchiemsee Palaces

Your private guide will pick you up at your Munich hotel. First, we start our journey from Nymphenburg Palace, has been a favorite summer residence for the royalty of Bavaria. With its elegant design and beautiful surroundings, it is a little wonder why the kings and queens of Wittelsbach family loved it so much. Enjoy The Blauer Salon, features 200-year-old Parisian furniture and the bedroom next door was where Bavaria’s fairytale king, Ludwig II was born. Then, we visit the Marstallmuseum, which holds a fascinating collection of royal sleighs and carriages.

Afterwards, we drive to Prien, board a boat to Herreninsel, Herrenchiemsee Palace or the New Palace is the largest of King Ludwig II’s palaces and is a close copy of Versailles, sometimes even surpassing the original. Set on 240-hectare Island in the Chiemsee, Bavaria’s largest lake. After visiting the Palace and King Ludwig II Museum, we take the boat back to our vehicle, and we drive to your hotel in Füssen.

Day 3: Linderhof Palace, Oberammergau and Starnberg

After breakfast, we drive to Linderhof Palace the only one which Ludwig II lived to see completed. And the one in which he stayed more than anywhere else. This world of fantasy and flamboyance includes an illuminated artificial grotto (Venus Grotto) surrounding a small lake. On it bobs a shell-shaped boat and there are garlands of flowers everywhere. A romantic, allegoric painting is daubed on a rock face. (The Grotto is closed for extensive restoration until further notice.)

Immediately outside the palace are baroque partitions such as garden and water parterres as well as terraces and cascades arranged in the Italianate Renaissance style.

Then a quick stop for lunch and admiring the beauty of the picturesque village of Oberammergau where is the original Passion play in 1634 started and famous with the wood carving and House paintings and more. Afterwards, we drive direction Starnberg Lake to walk to the place where the King Ludwig II spent the last night alive and the next day his body was found in mysterious circumstances. Then back to Munich.

We could not have been more pleased with the time we spent with Amir; we actually spent a full week with him, traveling from Zurich to Lucerne, through Alsace, and to the castles of the Romantic Road. His knowledge was thorough and he was fun to be with. We laughed, learned, and had a wonderful time. He was attentive, thoughtful and was flexible about what we did and how long we wanted to spend at each place. We look forward to spending more time with him!

We could not have found a more informative, warm and friendly yet professional person than Amir to spend our day trip to Neuschwanstein castle and Fussen!
So well informed and amazing knowledge of Bavarian history it was a sheer pleasure spending the day with Amir and our trip with him ended up being the best day of our trip! Don’t hesitate and book your trip stress-free with Amir!

Ludwig II, a life full of cliffhangers….

Our guide Amir was an excellent host, had an interesting story about Ludwig II which added value before the audio tour in the castle itself. Well organized. And the cliffhangers make you come back…….
