★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,756 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $91

Spend about 10.5 hours visiting Linderhof Palace, Neuschwanstein Castle, and Oberammergau from central Munich. An English-speaking guide such as Elisabeth, Christine, or Alberto handles the road commentary and timing. Castle entry costs extra, and Neuschwanstein requires an uphill walk.

“Gorgeous! Rather rushed because we were among the last tours of the day but what a magnificent time. It snowed so the roads were slushy, which meant buses could not run, and the horse drawn ride was over an hour wait. The castle was opulent. Lots of stairs! Fantastic views. We enjoyed it and Sybille, our guide told us many interesting facts while Gürtsl, our driver did a spectacular job navigating. The Alps were showing, too and Linderhof in snow was magical.”

15.Kyoto: Nijo-jo Castle and Ninomaru Palace Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,020 reviews · 1 hour · from $16Best value

Spend one hour touring Nijo Castle, from the East Main Gate and ornate Karamon Gate to Ninomaru Palace and its gardens. An English-speaking guide such as Ai, Miki, Kaoru, or Don explains shogun politics, palace art, room functions, and access to areas normally closed to the public. Admission costs extra.

“Definitely worth to visit the Shogun's home and political seat! This castle was a political power center, rather than a military one. The guided tour helps you to grasp the symbols, art and rooms meaning. For a little bit on top of the price maybe better to also include the entry tickets, which are 1300 yen extra.”
