Overview

Go beyond the ordinary. Most visitors rush through Neuschwanstein, missing its hidden stories. This tour is different.

With my doctorate in mythology, discover the medieval sagas painted on the castle walls. With my 32 years as a master storyteller, hear Ludwig’s tale in a way that moves you. As a trained opera singer, learn from me how Wagner’s music shaped the castle’s magic.

Other tours herd fifty people onto a bus. With my tour, your group is the only one along—a fully private experience. With my attention to detail, everything is customized for you. Just relax and enjoy.

Other private tours rely on heavy SUVs to drive to the castle, adding to environmental strain in the region. This tour glides through the Bavarian countryside in a First-Class train—combining luxury with sustainability.

Unlike standard tours, this is an immersive journey. Come with me, and experience the mystery of Neuschwanstein’s untold stories.

What To Expect

Munich Central Station

We begin our day here as we board the First Class Compartment of a state of the art German train. As we roll in comfort through resplendent Bavarian countryside, the Alps grow higher and higher on the horizon. During our time on the train, Thomas the tour guide will share with you the poignant story of King Ludwig, the builder of the castle, and the role the castle plays as a work of art, as a storybook, and as an alternative version of how life could be. Expect to be moved by the powerful storytelling of Thomas as he takes you on a journey through the medieval legends told in each room of the castle.

Neuschwanstein Castle

We ascend the side of the mountain, either on foot, by shuttle bus, or in horsedrawn carriage. We watch the castle rise above us as we draw near. We enjoy unforgettable views from Mary’s Bridge. We hear more of the sagas that are powerfully told in the rooms of the castle. During the actual tour in the castle, which is led by a State of Bavaria Tour Guide, we see not only the beauty of each room, we also understand each room’s unique story and are deeply inspired. Thomas accompanies you during this tour, ensuring that your experience is optimal. After the tour we spend time in other parts of the castle, visiting the castle’s balcony, kitchen, café, and gift shops. All throughout this time, Thomas is taking professional grade photographs and video of you to preserve your memories.
