Over 13 years we have sent off as close to 100% of our guests enthusiastically satisfied with their choice to join us on this excursion as we believe is realistically possible. Nontheless, we have, as is our custom with our famous bike tour of Munich (Mike's Bike Tours) raised the bar again and improved our tour this and other years to come.Based on feedback in 2012 which one can read here at T.A. we are making several improvments in 2013, which will be:* School groups will now almost always go with a separate coach.* The menue selections for lunch will be improved.* The option to do a take a bike our on your own and forgoe the guided bike tour with Brad and the group will be offeredOur fantastic guide, Brad Daynes, from South Africa, is a true Professional Entertainer and Expert Close-Up Magician and has been leading this trip for us since we started offering it over ten years ago. Our main competitors either take people to Neuschwanstein from Munich by train, do not cater exclusively to the English-speaking market and / or do not base their success on positive word of mouth as we do, rather by paying hotels to send them anybody and everybody that wants to go there, no matter what language they speak. Our competitive prices of €49 (only €39 for backpackers / students!) for this Top-Notch excursion clearly offer the best value available especially for English-speaking clientel in any tour to Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich. We know when comparing any and all offers that one can only come to this conclusion themselves, especially when considering the comfort and convenience of our LUXURY COACH as compared to the (often unpleasant) experience of a frequently (especially in summer!) over-crowded, non air-conditioned train and public bus which one can take on their own, whereby paying a premium to join an organized tour offers far less added value than our excursion does. (Our spacious, air conditioned coach w/ monitors and DVD is also far more comfortable than any van with up to 7 or 8 strangers packed tightly together possibly could be). Our tours include organization of discounted tickets (save €1 off the normal price) for the tour of the inside of Neuschwanstein, a highly enjoyable, (optional) bike ride on well-maintained, comfortable Cruiser bicycles around the area near the castle AND our guide's post-lunch PROFESSIONAL magic show which is FUN, truly impressive and downright mind-boggling! We also offer a few other possible fun activities such as swimming in a refreshing alpine lake in the middle of the bike ride and the unique opportunity to FLY DIRECTLY OVER THE CASTLE on a tandem paraglide! (this option is not included in our tour price, it's €135 extra) For less than €2 one can also take a fun ride down an alpine slide! Hence, our Neuschwanstein Castle Tours from Munich are indeed, VERY unique. For those not interested in such activities there is the option to do the tour of Hohenschwangau castle (€11 extra) instead, in which case we only charge €39 for this excursion!

We hope you will choose to join us on this fantastic excursion from Munich in the near future so that we may have the opportunity to send you, too, off as nothing less than another FAN of our company. « less

The tour was a brilliant mix of cycling, hiking, history and sight-seeing. It was all brought together by our best of the best tour guide Brad. He performs a one of kind magic show (which I can't imagine is a part of many other tours) and is the only person that could make a 45 min trek uphill sound fun.... More

My husband and I took part in this tour this past Saturday and was on one the most memorable experiences we had on our vacation in Europe. The tour guides Bard (and his girlfriend Micah) were fabulous!! Now keep in mind that the day we choose to go it was absolutely poring down rain and hovered around 45 degrees. Pretty... More

We went on this trip yesterday and really enjoyed it. The bus ride was about an hour, but this was broken up with an informative video outlining the history of the castle and the life and death of Ludwig II. The bike ride was probably my favorite part, as it was very easy and gave excellent photo opportunities for both... More

This was one of the best tours I have done. Right from the start of the day there were laughs all round. Brad and Micah were both great guides who happily answered questions and kept the group on track. The bike ride was heaps of fun and had some great views (wish I had brought my swimming stuff) An all... More

This was our first visit to Munich and experiencing Neuschwanstein was a must. And this tour DID deliver. The day began at 8:45 and by 9:00 we were in the comfy bus headed to the mountains. Upon arrrival at the base of the castle we rode bikes around Swan Lake and then enjoyed lunch and Brad's magic show which will... More

This had a bit of everything, a bike ride, a hike, crazy alpine sled, close-up magic and a great castle tour. Brad is a wealth of knowledge and gave us so much more information than we would have got on the castle tour alone. Having all of this extra info made the whole tour much more enjoyable than if we...

Like I said, I'm not much of a tour guy, but after reading the reviews, I opted in and didn't regret a minute (or euro) of it. Even at the start of the season, the tour was relatively glitch-free, and Brad and Mikka were everything you'd want in guides; professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, entertaining, and great communicators. The package of bike... More

Thinking of visiting Neuschwanstein? Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Bus Bavaria / Mike's Bike Tours. You will not be able to replicate the experience on your own.

This tour has a little bit of everything. Just enough bike riding - which was not difficult and at a very relaxed pace. The pre-ordering of lunch was very efficient. The hike up to the castle was well worth the effort. Brad and Mika were fantastic guides and we really enjoyed the day with them. Neuschwanstein Castle is simply amazing... More

Great staff, English speaking expats; comfy bus - not a train. Amazing gorge, waterfalls, bridge, bike ride and so friendly, casual yet professional staff. Watch brad's card tricks - and I hate cheesy card magic, but this was entertaining and unbelievable. Note - there are extra costs involved, but you would be paying the castle admission regardless of tour company
