Traveler reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic day tour to Herrenchiemsee—Leon is a top-notch guide!
We had an incredible day on the Herrenchiemsee Palace and Boat Trip tour from Munich. Our guide, Leon, was fantastic from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, incredibly well-organized, and handled all the logistics—including train connections and boat transfers—completely seamlessly so we never had to worry about a thing. Leon was super helpful, always available for questions, and even offered to take wonderful photos of me and my partner throughout the trip. The islands, train ride, and the palace itself were stunning. Highly recommended!
Wonderful Tour and Brilliant Guide
Charlie, our guide, was very good. He gave us good information about the places we were visiting. He was humorous, witty and patient. Thank you, Radius. Thank you, Charlie.
Great Day!
We had a small group tour. Jeremy was great. A bit more walking than I expected. The Palace is amazing. Wished we were able to take pictures inside as it is hard to explain the character and extravagance of King Ludwig II without photos. Nice and relaxing boat trip to islands with views of the Alps.
A King Ludwig II Must Do!
Don’t sleep on this tour. We lucked out with amazing weather, as the day started off cloudy with some mist but ended with sunshine. The castle is obviously the highlight but we enjoyed all aspects of this trip from the old train, boat rides, to the island views. Our group was small so we all got to know one another and share our experiences. Leon, our tour guide, was the absolute best! He brought the energy, gave knowledge information about the islands, sea and King Ludwig II of course, as well as, had us laughing the whole time. This was especially important as the DB had a train delay getting us back. All of our spirits were still high and great memories made. Tips for the trip: Lunch isn’t until around 3 pm so bring snacks or buy some when your guide points out the spots.
Viva Leon!
Leon is a MASTER tour guide. He is possessed of an incredible gift for communication, kindness, spontaneous delight in conversation, and a very real skillset in improvisation (put to excellent use when DB schedules become. . . well, very flexible). If you are on a tour with him, you an insanely lucky. 🍀
