We met Naveen on a beautiful Munich morning, and were totally immersed in the culture & history of Munich. Naveen was extremely knowledgeable, even showing us pictures of locations just after the Allied bombing to show the extent of reconstruction. He was very personable, helped with pictures (which we struggle with while traveling alone!), & was attuned to our needs with regard to rest & water breaks. We had a late-morning strudel & coffee (with ice cream!) in a beautiful Cafe, which was a real pleasure! I can't compliment Naveen enough for his knowledge, professionalism & care!!

What you’ll do

You’ll feel just like a Müncher as you head off on a jaunt to Starnberg See (head’s up: see means lake) with one of our local Munich hosts. After a quick train ride (what’s 30 minutes between friends) you’ll spend half a day surrounded by natural beauty (we’re not just talking about you and your host) as you enjoy dips in the refreshing waters of this lake, cruising on a pedalo or relaxing with an ice-cold beer and indulging in some traditional food in a Bavarian beer garden.

If the weather’s not made for lake-side relaxing, explore the charming town of Starnberg or take a boat to Rose Island, the only island in the lake which also happens to be home to a museum. By the end of your short time out of the city, you’ll be feeling refreshed and ready to take the city on again - which is exactly why the locals come here.
