    Radius was a great company to work with. We accidentally booked a tour that we were already going on with the group we are here with. They were great to let us exchange it for another tour. Leon was our tour guide and he was a hoot. We had so much fun with him. I would definitely recommend both Radius and Leon.

    Only 4 of us on the tour, not sure how the smaller amount of people will work but we had a great day Our guide Leon was fantastic, told us the history as we were on the train towards the lake etc. We have done all of the tours that Radius offer & have enjoyed every one. I highly recommend the company, everyone is so friendly & helpful; extremely knowledgeable & enthusiastic

    Be prepared for the weather and bring bottled water with you. Our grudge recommended grabbing water and snacks before leaving, he was right and so glad we did. Our guide, Adrian, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He took great care of our group and getting us from place to place.

  • Too bad it wasn't completed!

    What it would have been if King Ludwig's project had been completed. Even so it is of extreme beauty and is a must if you have already visited the other castles of Bavaria. Everything is even more amplified when you think that it is located on an island of Lake Chiemsee and the means of transport of those times are not those of today. I recommend the trip

  • Awesome trip to Herrenchiemsee Palace with Stephanie

    We had a terrific tour experience at Herrenchiemsee Palace with Stephanie. I recommend seeing Herrenchiemsee as it is a magnificent palace modeled after Versailles set on a private island in a lake (reached by vintage steam train and scenic boat ride). As this palace is the last of Prince Ludwig’s projects, this tour nicely complements a tour of Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Palaces. Our guide, Stephanie, is very knowledgeable about the history of the House of Wittelsbach, Prince Ludwig as well as the architectural details of Ludwig’s castles which gave me an appreciation of details that I would have missed without her thoughtful commentary. Stephanie is also very positive, upbeat and outgoing as she engaged all of us in her group in conversation which familiarized us with each other. When we became discouraged and disinterested in continuing the tour because of heavy rain, she motivated us all to press forward which rewarded us with a lovely scenic walk around the woman’s island, Fraueninsel, and a lunch where we all tried Kaiserschmarrn pancake with apple sauce at Klosterwirt Chiemsee. I highly recommend this tour with Stephanie as she is an outstanding tour guide..

  • Amazing tour with wow factor.

    I booked this trip to Herrenchiemsee castle with radius tours. I was met by my guide Thomas. He was friendly and attentive to the group, and had a lot of knowledge of the area we were visiting. I would book this tour with radius tours, since to get to the castle, you have to take a two trains and a boat, and the hassle of organising the trip independently is removed. I would recommend visiting the castle, as the rooms inside the castle are beautifully decorated, and there is a lot of intricate detail to admire in each room. The gardens surrounding the castle are stunning. This castle is in a lake, and for lunch, we were brought to another island in the lake, which was interesting to see. Having a guide on this trip is useful, since a boat is used for transport, and there are many stops, which can cause confusion. I would recommend this trip as a worthwhile day trip from Munich.

  • Beautiful historical places to visit with nice guide

    We went with a family on a day long excursion, although it was a long trip our guide Stephanie made all possible to make it comfortable. Stephanie gave interesting information about islands and the castle, was very helpful in organizational questions and just very nice person to talk with:) we had a great time, I recommend this excursion and our guide!

    I had never done a tour using rail before but the area is so remote there are not a lot of options if you are not driving. Amazing. Well organised. Lots of options. It is a long day but we’ll worth it
