The private day tour guided by an original Bavarian, includes pick up & drop off at your hotel/private accommodation in Munich, a typical Bavarian lunch on the island, admission to the Palace and a boat trip.
Enjoy an exclusive excursion in the footsteps of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The full day trip starts in the morning, with pick up at your Munich city hotel or private accommodation. Cool drinks and snacks will be waiting for you in a comfortable SUV vehicle. During the drive, we will already have some time to chat and I will tell you interesting facts about today´s destinations.
As soon as we have arrived at the beautiful Chiemsee, we will jump on a boat and make our way towards the two picturesque islands - the Herreninsel and the Fraueninsel! Factitious Bavaria: The famous Chiemsee is the largest freshwater lake in the whole area of Munich. And indeed, the lake's nickname is "Bavarian Sea".
After arriving on the Herreninsel, we will explore the magnificent Herrenchiemsee Palace, which was built in 1878 by the fairytale king Ludwig II of Bavaria as a copy of the famous French Versailles. In some sections the Herrenchiemsee Palace even surpasses its model in Versailles – a good example is the impressive Hall of Mirrors. Abundant amounts of gold, glass and porcelain are the unique monument to the exuberant wealth of this past time. After the guided castle tour, we will still have some time to stroll through the beautiful surroundings, like the elegant gardens and beautifully landscaped footpaths.
Leaving the bigger island behind, we will continue, of course still by boat, to the next stop - the Fraueninsel! There, we visit the historical Benedictine abbey and stop for a delicious Bavarian lunch in a typical beer garden. Well strengthened, we will make our way ashore, before we slowly drive North towards Munich - back to the agreed starting point, or hotel/accommodation!
I am not a professional photographer! However, I will do my best to take nice snapshots (for social media) of our trip.
By the way: If you wish, we can arrange the short holiday to the beautiful Chiemsee according to your own ideas - a tailor-made trip is of course possible.

Our hotel recommanded us Sepp the guide! The recommandation could't be better. First, we booked a day trip to Neuschwanstein & Linderhof castle. However, we liked Sepps service so much that spontaneously booked two more day trips with him. A trip to Hallstatt & Salzburg as well a trip to Germany's highest peak Zugspitze. Sepp offered us a truly first class service from the beginning until the end. We travel a lot and to be honest, we have never had such an exclusive experience with a guide! Don't look further. Sepp is the right choice!

If it’s snowing, you can be sure there’ll be a snowball fight. A child playing in the snow is incredibly happy. Nothing brings more joy than playing in the snow and seeing your kids enjoy it.
Our trip to Zugspitze was amazing. Particulary, thanks to our wonderful host, Sepp.
I’m so pleased with the hospitality he showed us. So grateful to receive such warmth. Great conversation and interesting topics. He made us feel completely at home. Thank you, Sepp

Pretty sure you will make all your guests happy. You are a very kind and special person.
