Munich is the beer capital of the world. Home of the beer-halls, beer-gardens, beer-cellars and the legendary Oktoberfest. They&rsquo;ve been brewing &lsquo;liquid bread&rsquo; here for 3000 years and they do it better than anyone else. In the company of a local guide, take an evening to travel into the heart of Munich&rsquo;s beer culture. Drink where locals drink and feast on Bavarian snacks as you discover an array of Munich&rsquo;s history and culture.<\/p>\n<p>Discover how beer is brewed and the fascinating story of German brewing. For as long as there have been Germans, there has been beer. From the ancient tribal Hausfrauen brew-women, through the great monastic breweries of the middle ages, to the revered Reinheitsgebot (Purity Law) of 1516, which continues to be the measure of excellence in brewing today. The world has looked to Germany to set the standards of what a cool drink of great beer should be. And Germany looks to Munich. We&rsquo;ll show you why.<\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;ll emerge, well informed on the different types of beer available as you sample them for yourself. Sample the best traditional Bavarian food including Weisswurst veal sausage, dumpling, roast pork, the celebrated Obatzda cheese and more. There&rsquo;s an exclusive private tour through the beautiful new Beer and Oktoberfest Museum in one of Munich&rsquo;s most historic buildings (standing since 1347) as well as a traditional beer garden to soak up before concluding at the world-famous Hofbr\u00e4uhaus.<\/p>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Day 11:<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Royal Castles Neuschwanstein and Linderhof &#8211; private<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Join us on this magical tour of Munich and enter a world of fantasy. But not just any fantasy; we are going to explore the twisted mind of the \u201cMad King\u201d Ludwig II of Bavaria. Near the towering Alps, deep in some thick woods worthy of a Grimm Brothers\u2019 tale, we find two magnificent constructions: the Linderhof Palace and the splendorous Neuschwanstein Castle. This tour takes you to discover the whims of a man with unparalleled power but who doesn\u2019t play with a full deck.<br \/> After meeting up with your charming guide, who will provide the exciting narrations to this day of discovery, head off into the Bavarian woods en route towards Linderhof Palace. Hear the incredible story of its creator, the mad Ludwig II of Bavaria, and explore its ample grounds and luxurious interior. This building is a stunning example of the strength of French influence on Bavarian architecture; back in the day, it was the only Rococo palace that the King ever completed.<br \/> Later on, pass through the charming village of Oberammergau, known for its wonderful frescoes and long tradition of wood carving \u2013 a typical handicraft in Bavaria. Drive then to the most beautiful castle you will ever set eyes upon, the towering Neuschwanstein Castle. Seemingly pulled out of a fairy tale, this romantic fortress that inspired the famous Walt Disney logo is shrouded in legends and fables.

Munich is the beer capital of the world. Home of the beer-halls, beer-gardens, beer-cellars and the legendary Oktoberfest. They've been brewing 'liquid bread' here for 3000 years and they do it better than anyone else. In the company of a local guide, take an evening to travel into the heart of Munich's beer culture. Drink where locals drink and feast on Bavarian snacks as you discover an array of Munich's history and culture.<\/p><p>Discover how beer is brewed and the fascinating story of German brewing. For as long as there have been Germans, there has been beer. From the ancient tribal Hausfrauen brew-women, through the great monastic breweries of the middle ages, to the revered Reinheitsgebot (Purity Law) of 1516, which continues to be the measure of excellence in brewing today. The world has looked to Germany to set the standards of what a cool drink of great beer should be. And Germany looks to Munich. We'll show you why.<\/p><p>You'll emerge, well informed on the different types of beer available as you sample them for yourself. Sample the best traditional Bavarian food including Weisswurst veal sausage, dumpling, roast pork, the celebrated Obatzda cheese and more.

But not just any fantasy; we are going to explore the twisted mind of the \u201cMad King\u201d Ludwig II of Bavaria. Near the towering Alps, deep in some thick woods worthy of a Grimm Brothers\u2019 tale, we find two magnificent constructions: the Linderhof Palace and the splendorous Neuschwanstein Castle. This tour takes you to discover the whims of a man with unparalleled power but who doesn\u2019t play with a full deck.<br \/> After meeting up with your charming guide, who will provide the exciting narrations to this day of discovery, head off into the Bavarian woods en route towards Linderhof Palace. Hear the incredible story of its creator, the mad Ludwig II of Bavaria, and explore its ample grounds and luxurious interior. This building is a stunning example of the strength of French influence on Bavarian architecture; back in the day, it was the only Rococo palace that the King ever completed.<br \/> Later on, pass through the charming village of Oberammergau, known for its wonderful frescoes and long tradition of wood carving \u2013 a typical handicraft in Bavaria. Drive then to the most beautiful castle you will ever set eyes upon, the towering Neuschwanstein Castle. Seemingly pulled out of a fairy tale, this romantic fortress that inspired the famous Walt Disney logo is shrouded in legends and fables. Take your journey to another level and live the fantasy.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><u>Day 12:\u00a0 Zurich for 3 nights<\/u><\/p><p><strong>Bus service from Munich to Zurich <\/strong><\/p><p>Departure at 11:18, arrival at 3 pm<\/p><p><strong>Accommodation, breakfast & taxes included at <\/strong><strong>Boutique Hotel Wellenberg<u> *<\/u>***<\/strong><\/p><p>Located in the heart of Zurich\u2018s historical centre, Boutique Hotel Wellenberg is just a 5-minute walk away from the famous Bahnhofstrasse Shopping Street.
