Munich and London from Munich

Illustration of Munich and London from Munich

Railbookers operates this 8-day round-trip rail journey between Munich and London, combining small-group guided day tours with independent time in each city. The trip opens with 3 nights in Munich, including a 2-hour walking tour past the Glockenspiel, Frauenkirche Cathedral, and the Opera House, an evening at the Hofbräuhaus, and a guided day trip through the Bavarian countryside to Neuschwanstein Castle. On Day 4, you travel by train to London for 3 nights, with a full-day guided tour taking in St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels, a Thames cruise, and the London Eye. A further day trip visits Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford before the return train to Munich for a final night. The mix of guided excursions and free city time suits travelers who want the major landmarks covered for them but still like exploring neighborhoods like Covent Garden or the South Bank on their own.
