The short tour of the palace was not worth the long trip on regional rail, steam locomotive and boat. Unlike every other tour of historic buildings we were not allowed to take pictures. Did they want to sell more postcards and books? Guide did a nice job managing a difficult 10 hour trip. See nearby (to Munich) sights instead.

This tour is well put together. We departed from the Radius Tour offices and took the train to the nearby town. We then took another (this time tourist steam) train to the boat to reach the island on which the palace is located. We had enough time to explore the palace grounds and the island on our own, as well as getting to tour the palace with an official guide (which is the only way you can tour the interior of the palace). We took the boat again to another nearby island, where our guide gave us recommendations for lunch. It is a late lunch, so you'll want to bring snacks with you or eat on the train or at the palace before the tour (the palace has a cafe). There was a delay on the return train back to Munich, but that wasn't the tour operator's fault. All in all, a great, relaxing tour.

Loved this tour, Michelle was very friendly, very knowledgeable, I learned so much from her compared to other guides. The lake and palace was beautiful, not too rushed, time for a relaxing lunch lakeside. Highly recommend Michelle as a wonderful tour guide!

For me Herrenchiemse is the Palace to visit in the area before Neuschwanstein and Linderhof! The tour is well organised and we had a fabulous guide, Michelle, who has so much knowledge about King Ludwig. We had plenty of time at Herrenchiemse and then also had a visit to Fraueninsel. Yes, you could do this tour on your own without a guide, but you won’t learn about or remember this special place as much. Thank you.

This tour was definitely worth the visit! Our guide Stephanie was excellent and made sure we were where we needed to be on time. She helped us navigate the transportation and also gave us lots of good historical information about the palace and King Ludwig. For anyone who has visited Versailles or is interested in palaces, I recommend visiting this palace!

A wonderful experience at Herrenchimsee Palace accompanied by our guide Michelle who managed to make us have a great day. I recommend Radius Tours.

We enjoyed meeting people on our tour from around the world as well as from home! The small train and boat ride to the islands made this a unique experience. We really enjoyed visiting the Women’s Island as well as Herrenchiemsee Palace. It was a lovely day, and the scenery was beautiful! Our guide, Stephanie was very personable and made everyone feel welcome.

We went on this tour feeling we didn't have to worry about time management. Our guide was wonderful Susanne. The company that was extremely unorganized. Gave an address but not there name that was on the building. Said in the instructions to look for lots of windows.??? There was lots of people everyone wasn't sure where to go. Then needed sandwich signs to display each tour. Having a back issue we had to stand for 2 hours waiting for a train. I could have done this tour on my own if l wanted to be frustrated. We ended up losing our guild and there was another family who was lost with us. The train should be scheduled to people on tour. Not just being spread out all over. I would suggest to have colored stickers on so they guild could at least recognize her tour. We also where told we had an hour on the female island. It was 30 mins and didn't have anytime to go to the gift shop just the church.The palace itself was beautiful and so was the second island.
