Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
VIP tickets guarantee skip-the-line access — you walk straight into the castle even on the busiest summer days. The standard tour also has skip-the-line, but VIP gives you priority even among skip-the-line holders.
This tour visits Ettal Basilica — a 700-year-old monastery with one of Bavaria's finest Baroque interiors — instead of Linderhof. Both are incredible. If you prefer Linderhof, we can customize.
Lunch is not included but your guide takes you to a carefully chosen traditional Bavarian restaurant. Budget EUR 15–25 for a full meal.
