Munich: Private Neuschwanstein, Linderhof Alpine Tour via Austria
Overview
Our private tours are led by a small, dedicated team of local native English-speaking guides. We don't just drive you between landmarks; we provide the context, history & local perspective that a guidebook can’t. With us, you get a "Local" for the day, not just a driver.
We are the only operator to cross the border into Austria for lunch (optional of course). We skip the crowded tourist traps in favor of a local restaurant serving locally sourced products. It’s a quiet, authentic midday break with great food.
Whether you want to dive deep into history, find the best photo ops, or discover "off-the-map" local spots, we adjust the route in real-time to suit you.
We also help you secure difficult-to-get entry tickets—like Neuschwanstein—saving you from the stress (Castle tickets are not incl. in the price of the tour).
Booking with Mike's means an stress-free, high-value journey whilst maximising your day.
