General Tour Information Questions and Answers

• What month do the tours start?

The free walking tour, the select tours, and the private tours run year-round in all weather, and also on public holidays.

• Are reservations required for the tours?

Reservations for the free and select tours are not necessary, unless your group exceeds 10 people. For private tours, however, reservations are a must (although short notice tours are certainly possible). Please visit the 'Private Tour' page for more information.

• How long are the tours?

All the tours are about 3 hours long. With travel time, however, the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour is about 5 hours long, the Neuschwanstein Castle Tour is about 8 hours long and the Beer Challenge is about 4 hours long.

• Is it possible to do two of your tours in one day?

Yes, you can in one day do a free tour and in the evening come on the beer challenge. Another alternative that allows you to do 2 tours in one day is to take the 10AM FREE TOUR and then at 1PM join our DACHAU MEMORIAL SITE TOUR

Unfortunately, due to the departure times and length of the tours, it is not possible to do a free tour and castle tour in one day.

• Is there a maximum number of people allowed on a tour?

No, there is no maximum number of people for tours. There are always multiple guides to ensure that everyone can be accommodated (each group is split between the guides, with a maximum of 40 people per guide). If you are planning on joining the tour with a group larger than ten people, reservations are required so that we can be sure to have an appropriate number of staff members at the tour starting point on the given day.

• Are the tours wheelchair accessible?

All the tours contain a few inclines and uneven terrain, and they last for at least 3 hours. Despite this, they are all manageable by wheelchair as long as one is accompanied by an able-bodied carrier.

• What time do I need to show up for my tour?

It's not necessary to arrive for a tour BEFORE the start time, although of course preferable for a prompt start.
