VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

I loved it

It was very well organized, everything on time, good guide, comfortable bus. The place was astonishing, a must see

Muy bueno

El dia alcanza justo para visitar los dos castillos y los pueblitos.
Todo fue según lo promocionado.
La coordinadora con una excelente atención para con nosotros, teniendo en cuenta los idiomas de todos, aunque el tour era en ingles ella aclaraba todo también en español y alemán.
Quedamos muy satisfechos con la visita.

Great tour for an energetic traveler

This is a great tour for people who want to see as much as they can when they travel. The clip of this tour may be too fast for people who value time to sit back and relax, but for people who want the bang for their buck or don't have time to linger, this is perfect.

Outstanding day out!

Our tour guide and driver were great (Kristina & Joseph)! We went to two castles and visited a small town called Oberammergau. It was great value for money as it included transportation (which included snacks and coffee), tours and an informative tour guide. I highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Great day trip to see Neuschwanstein and Linderhof

Not only was the tour punctual, we actually left ahead of schedule! The tour was fantastic, Linderhof was a great surprise - most "train" tours do not go here but Grayline bus tours do. We also stopped in the middle in a nice town called Oberammergau, before heading to the highlight - Neuschwanstein castle! Our guide Mieke and driver Stefan were both great :)

Good experience

I really liked the trip! I recommend to see the Linderhof Palace.

Castles Visit

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Ursula was terrific. She brought to life the history of Ludwig the 2nd and Bavaria. She kept us moving to make sure we didn't miss anything. The castles were magnificent and Bavaria countryside breathtaking next to the alps. Nice touch of snacks and drinks on the coach and the individual seats on the coach were great. Well worth the price for a full day tour and would definitely recommend.

Value for the money

Expertised tourist guidance at low price. Time allocation enough no hurry.

Bavaria excursion

The tour of the castle is a bit disappointing as it (and the palace) are only about 30 minutes long and you can’t take any pictures. They are beautiful though and it is nice to have some background of the country, area, king, and time period. Our tour guide and bus driver were amazing and we had a great time! WiFi on the bus doesn’t actually work, but it was a comfortable ride and snacks and drinks were provided - included some local beer! The walk up to the castle is a bit long/ up hill but it’s all paved and not difficult, I’m just out of shape.

Um passeio incrivel.

O passeio para os castelos foi incrível e adoramos cada minuto.

O ônibus é muito confortável, com banheiros e bebidas para comprar e o guia foi muito bom e informativo, também gostamos muito por ter o áudio guia com explicações em Português (BR).

Os dois castelos são incríveis e você tem a oportunidade de comprar o tour guiado direto com o guia evitando assim as filas dos guichês (que por sinal são grandes).

Uma dica para o Castelo de Neuschwanstein é ir o mais rápido possível para a ponte onde se tem a melhor visão do castelo para ótimas fotos pois a fila para a ponte e grande.

Recomendo a todos o passeio.





The ride to the castles was amazing and we loved every minute of it.

The bus is very comfortable with restrooms and drinks to buy and the guide was very good and informative, we also really enjoyed having the audio guide with explanations in Brazilian Portuguese.

The two castles are incredible and you have the opportunity to buy the guided tour direct with the guide thus avoiding the queues of the booths (which by the way are big).

A tip for the Neuschwanstein Castle is to go as fast as possible to the bridge where you have the best view of the castle for great pictures as the queue for the bridge is big.

Highly recommend the tour to everyone.

Bavaria

Excellent day away crom reality. Escape to a fairy tale world..

Fantastic excursion.

Fantastic experience on a more luxurious coach with single armchair-like seats. Although at the beginning I was ushered onto one of the other coaches with normal seating but luckily I was insistent that I’d paid for the premier coach. Soon all was fine, had an excellent tour guide called Ursula who was so enthusiastic and informative at all times. Although the sightseeing seemed rushed I can quite understand that everything is to a strict schedule. Also the driver who I think was called Vlad was very friendly and courteous. Visited Marienbrücke first with our tour guide and we decided to pay the couple of euros on the shuttle bus to take us up, we then visited Neuschwannstein castle on our timed ticket, next was a 40min stop in Oberammergau, as we all got back onto the bus Vlad kindly kept us going with plenty of offers of snacks + drinks. Last stop was Linderhof Palace which had impressive rooms. The bus got back to the Hauptbahnhof approximately 7pm and we certainly had a wonderful day and didn’t have to worry about buying tickets or queues as Ursula did all this for us...although not a cheap tour I would definitely recommend it...a big thank you to Ursula and Vlad!!

Value for money and also worthy amount of time!

The guide Elisabeth and driver Thomas were outstanding! Elisabeth gave lots of good stories and explanations along the way and Thomas reacted accordingly by slowing down at the appropriate sceneries. Good coordination between them :)

I read several reviews claiming that the group was rushed and that tour duration inside the castle was only 30 mins. This has got nothing to do with the tour operator. The castle tours are conducted by the castle personnel. Due to the large tourist crowd short tours in the castle was appropriate. It was also sufficient. Also, it should be noted that you will be paying 25 Euros for both castles (not one). So the reservation fee is included in it. It's totally worth it. It saves you the hassle of booking one week in advance. I booked my tour 1 day in advance. 4 hours was given for the Neuschwanstein castle. I read reviews which said that some tour operators do not mention about the bridge near the castle and they felt that they missed out. Well, Elisabeth mentioned it and we had lots of time to take pics there :) So do check out the Marienbrucke Bridge!! Overall, there was plenty of time for lunch, to get to the castle (by shuttle bus or walking), tour the castle and get back down.

It was raining when we got there and I was rushing to the shelter. (Remb to bring raincoat or umbrella in case) Hence, I did not note my surrounding. I lost my orientation and couldn't remb my way back to the coach parking. In fact, I was just standing 2 mins away from the coach parking and did not realise. Elisabeth and Thomas waited 25 mins for me. I was the last person to reach the bus. Despite this, they were very professional and spoke well to me. The people on board were also very understanding. We reached back Munich just 10-15 mins later than the scheduled time. It would have otherwise costed me so much more to get back. Thank you Elisabeth and Thomas for making the call to stay and wait!! Appreciate it lots!

Excellent timing and arrangement!

Well, this day trip is perhaps the most budget fridendly and convenient way to visit Neuschwanstein castle from Munich! You can also enjoy two additional attractions: the Linderhof palace (a small one ;( ) and the small village with ice creams of a wide variety and cheap price (€1.1 per scoop :))
U got plenty of time to enjoy your visits, no rush at all. Comfy bus with excellent guide (Clara from Brazil :))
Highly recommend it!

Nice Trip

I really enjoyed this tour. Markus was very pleasent and informative. The bus ride was comfortable and enabled us to see a lot of the German countryside. I would recommend this tour.

Great trip!

The tourist guide has good sense of humour. The trip was enjoyable as there was ample time to tour around the castles.

Amazing Day Trip

Amazing day trip... I really recommend this tour with!!!

Really enjoyed the day

Christine was a great guide she was very informative helpful and funny.Even when one of her guests managed to get lost in Oberammergau not sure how.She waited the maximum time still no joy but finally managed to meet up at Neuschwanstein castle.
Initially the itinerary sounds quite rushed.But actually experiencing it was a different matter.First we were able to set off and get to Linderhof which is quite small compared to other castles or palaces.Interesting and knowledgeable guide who took us round then a little bit of time to walk around the gardens and take photographs.
Onto Oberammergau which is a delightful village a quick look around and the ice cream was not only delicious but incredioble value.
Then onto the main reason for going there.Neuschwanstein is truly one of those places to experience once in a lifetime again time management is key here.Plenty of time to get up there do the tour and get back down before the coach left with no people missing this time.
Back on the coach and back to munich in plenty of time.Really enjoyed the day

unforgettable trip around the beautiful Bavaria!

the trip was very nice, full of positive emotions, we enjoyed the beautiful Bavarian landscape and castles very much. Probably not very adapted for an older people as the program is very intense! In general It is well organised and thanks very much for happy Elisabeth group and a driver Dragan who safely drove us all the way!

Good value for the money.

Hassle free transport to the castles, plus shopping time and tour tickets. Timely and professional service.

Excellent organisation

Our guide was friendly and helpful throughout. We were well informed all day and packed in a lot into one day.

Excellent trip

Amazing castle and the guid, the place where ever u must visit

A Most!

Really nice tour! A Most when traveling to munich.

Great Tour

The tour guide was amazikng, the driver drove us safely through the snow. My wife and kids all enjoyed the history and sights! The buses left every site on time and we returned on time!

Highly recommend to all travellers!

Great day trip out to the royal castles in Bavaria.
Friendly and informative tour guide, enough time was provided at both castles for us to explore inside. Good value for money

Best ever package

The tour guide is fantastic and very efficiently. During the trip is is able to guide the entire history of Munich and the background of the Castle. And when we reach the castle, she was able to secure the tickets in matter of minutes.
The hop on hop off bus which was added as complimentary is another added bonus tour which brings you around much more within Munich city.
Definitely recommended package.

My second visit to the castles in 3 years and I still love it! The English-speaking guide, with the injection of humour now and then, made the trip even more enjoyable. Though parts of the Neuschwanstein castle was covered up for the on-going renovation works, the visit was still worthwhile. The snow-covered grounds surrounding Linderhof castle is enchanting! Urbanites like us from the tropical belt had our first snow fight there.

Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castles

Tour was fantastic and informative. The bus ride to and from was quick and very comfortable

Lindehof and Neuschwanstein

A stunning trip to see two of Ludwig ll fairytale castles. We did the trip in early December and had the most glorious weather whilst also having the bonus of snow on the ground. The trip was really good value and brilliantly organised. I would definitely recommend it. Spectacular!

Neuschwanstein and Linderhof

We were very happy with the content and organization of the whole trip which all went like clockwork. Good allocation of time re: coffee and lunch breaks. Markus (guide) and Peter (Driver) were both first class.
