Affiliate disclosure
This site takes part in the GetYourGuide affiliate programme. Book through a link here and it earns a commission. You pay exactly what you would pay going to GetYourGuide directly — the commission comes out of their side of the transaction, not yours.
Where the links are
Every tour card, every booking widget and every “check availability” button. They carry rel="nofollow noopener" and open in a new tab. Nothing else here is paid for, sponsored or exchanged: no operator has paid to appear, none has been shown a page before it went up, and no operator company is named anywhere on this site in any language.
What the commission does not buy, and how to check
A commission is a percentage, so in principle a dearer listing earns more. Three things on this site cut against that and all three are checkable in a minute.
First, the palace’s own tariff is printed here in full, on tickets, with the instruction to buy at the window. The palace charges about eleven euros. Nothing on this site earns anything from that transaction, and it is the first thing most readers should do.
Second, getting there tells you about the public bus from Oberammergau, which is the way to reach this palace without booking anything at all. A site optimising for commission would bury that page rather than link it from every other one.
Third, the pages that criticise a listing criticise it at length. One listing with Linderhof in its title gets a whole page about the fact that its own exclusions say the Linderhof stop is usually from the outside. Another gets a page whose first sentence says nobody has reviewed it and that you would be booking it blind. Those are the two pages a commission-first site would not write.
What is not affected
Which listings appear. All twenty-three in the catalogue are on all tours, including the five that carry no rating and the seven with no written review under them, and including three Neuschwanstein tickets that are only here as comparators. A listing is not dropped for being cheap, badly rated or awkward to explain.
And what the pages say. The ratings, the rating counts and the two lists from each listing’s own page are reproduced as they stand. How that is done is on editorial policy.
What the palace gets
Nothing from me, and no relationship either way. Schloss Linderhof is owned by the Free State of Bavaria and run by the Bayerische Schlösserverwaltung, which sells its own tickets at its own ticket office and has never been asked for a comment on anything written here.
