One tour, two concerts
Munich Residenz tickets on this site come in one form with museum entry: the Residenz Palace and Hofgarten Skip-the-Line Tour at $73, two and a half hours with a licensed guide through more than 100 rooms of the Palace Museum, rated 4.8 on 202 reviews. There is no standalone entry ticket among the 46 tours compared here. Two concerts put you in a seat instead: a one-hour classical concert in the Court Chapel at $44 and a two-hour gala at the Cuvilliés Theatre at $110. A fourth listing covers a different palace, Nymphenburg, at $75. Free cancellation is listed on each of the four.
Quick answer
The short answer. If you are looking for Munich Residenz tickets to walk the palace rooms, one listing does it: the guided tour at $73, with a skip-the-line ticket in the price. If an hour of music in the Court Chapel is enough, the concert is $44. A plain entry ticket without a guide is not sold through this site.
The tour with entry
One listing, one price, the ticket and the guide together.
The Residenz Palace and Hofgarten Skip-the-Line Tour is the one listing on this site whose description puts you inside the museum. It names more than 100 rooms of the Palace Museum, a skip-the-line ticket and a licensed guide, and describes the Residenz as the centre of power, artistry and court life in Bavaria. The Hofgarten is in the title.
It runs two and a half hours, costs $73 and is rated 4.8 on 202 reviews. That works out at $29.20 an hour with the guide and the ticket together.
What this page cannot tell you is the ticket-office price, the opening hours or whether tickets are sold at the door on your date: none of that is in the listings. For Munich Residenz tickets on their own, the palace ticket office is the place to ask; what is compared here is the guided way in.

Two concerts
Music in the palace buildings, $44 and $110.
Classical Concert in Residenz Palace’s Court Chapel, $44. A classical concert in the old Court Chapel of the Residenz Palace, where, the listing says, Mozart himself played for the Bavarian elector. One hour, 4.6 on 443 reviews, the most reviewed listing on this page. The description is about the concert; it names no museum rooms.
Gala Concert at the Rococo Cuvilliés Theatre, $110. An evening of classical music performed by the Residenz soloists in a venue the listing calls one of the most beautiful and important Rococo theatres in Europe. Two hours, 4.8 on 111 reviews.
Neither is a substitute for the museum: a concert ticket buys a seat and a programme. They are set beside the other evening listings on the evening page.

Another palace
Same format as the Residenz tour, a different building.
The fourth listing is not the Residenz. The Fast-Track Nymphenburg Palace & Carriage Museum Tour is a guided group visit to the Baroque Nymphenburg Palace and the Marstallmuseum, with skip-the-line tickets and a licensed guide in the description. Two hours, $75, rated 4.9 on 74 reviews: the highest rating on this page on the smallest sample.
It is here because the two palace tours are built the same way, a ticket and a guide for a similar price, and people choosing one often weigh the other. The hop-on hop-off bus at $27 names Nymphenburg Palace among its views, without entry; it is on the bus page.
Which one
Five situations, each matched to one listing from the table above.
The guided Residenz tour at $73: more than 100 rooms of the Palace Museum, two and a half hours, 4.8 on 202 reviews.
The Court Chapel concert at $44, rated 4.6 on 443 reviews. It is a concert, not a museum visit.
The gala at the Cuvilliés Theatre at $110: two hours, 4.8 on 111 reviews.
The Court Chapel concert at $44. The lowest price with museum entry is $73.
The fast-track tour at $75: the palace and the Carriage Museum in two hours, 4.9 on 74 reviews.
The honest answer
What the price buys, and the one comparison the data allows.
The numbers for the guided tour are good and thin at once: 4.8 is among the higher ratings on this site, and 202 reviews is a modest sample. At $73 for two and a half hours you are paying for three things the description names: the ticket, the skipped line and a licensed guide through more than 100 rooms.
What this site cannot do is set that against the price at the ticket office, because that price is not in the data. If you want a guide, the comparison that can be made here is with the Nymphenburg tour: $75 for two hours, $37.50 an hour against $29.20.
Where it is not the right purchase: if you only want the outside of the palace and the Hofgarten on a general walk, the Old Town walks start at $25, though their descriptions do not promise either. One plain entry ticket is sold on this site, and it is for a different building: the Deutsches Museum at $18. All 46 tours are on the main page.
