About Herrenchiemsee Palace & Park
Herrenchiemsee Palace is one of King Ludwig II’s most extravagant creations, situated on Herreninsel, the largest island in Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria. Construction began in 1878, inspired by the grandeur of Versailles, but remained incomplete due to the king’s mysterious death in 1886.
Despite its unfinished state, the palace stands as a testament to Ludwig’s vision of absolute monarchy and artistic excellence. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, intricate fountains, and tranquil lake views, Herrenchiemsee remains a fascinating blend of history, luxury, and natural beauty, making it one of Bavaria’s most impressive royal sites.

Reviews
Best decision we made on our trip to Europe
This was the best decision we made while on our trip to Europe. Much better than taking the train because we were able to make additional stops that we wouldn't have been able to make if we were on the train. Our guide, Michaela, was absolutely wonderful! She was very cheerful and talkative, and she obviously loves the outdoors. One of the places that was planned for our trip, we had already seen, so Michaela offered us other options and we choose. She was great! Any time Sidetrip tours is available where we are traveling, we will definitely schedule a tour with them.
Five Stars Isn’t Enough for Sarka
I cannot rave enough about Sarka and the incredible care she showed our group. She was a fantastic driver who got us to our destination safely and professionally every single time. When one of our participants accidentally left her purse in the vehicle, Sarka went above and beyond — she came back on her own time to return it, without a single complaint. Throughout all legs of our trip, she helped us navigate countless last-minute changes to accommodate our group, always with patience, kindness, and a calm, can-do attitude. She was truly a lifesaver and made what could have been stressful situations feel completely manageable. I honestly cannot give her high enough praise. This company is incredibly lucky to have Sarka, and we are so very grateful for everything she did for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
