Discover an Authentic Life Style: When you think of Germany, you think of Octoberfest, beer drinking,
sausage eating, Sauerkraut, Lederhosen and fairy tale castles. That’s not Germany as a whole but Bavaria
– the southern part of Germany. Bavarians are known for their easy-going, fun-loving nature. The Catholic Calendar of religious events builds the backbone for many boisterous festivals and fascinating rites
throughout the year, such as the May Processions honoring Virgin Mary. However, the dance around
the maypole is the kick-off for the many festivals that take place throughout the summer with the forest
festivals being created to honor traditions, family merits and friendship. These festivals are known as the
forerunner to the Octoberfest. The lake festivals are a glamorous fest with huge firework displays over the
lake at night. No matter which festival you choose to attend, you will see attendees dressed in the most
colorful and authentic costumes, the Dirndl and Lederhose.
Never Too Early for a Weissbier: One Bavarian tradition that holiday makers from all over the world
cherish is the so-called “Frühschoppen”. The participants in the Bavarian second breakfast will start their
day with a meal of savory white sausages, the Weisswürste, with sweet mustard, a freshly baked pretzel
and a nice tall glass of cold and fresh Weissbier. If you do not want to be “outed” as a tourist, please keep
in mind that no Weisswurst is served after the 12noon bell! Luckily, they will serve you if asked but just
know that your waiter will be shaking their head while taking your order.
Ancient Sights of the Tegernsee Valley: Sightseeing in this special corner of Bavaria is far from an arduous task: most of its architectural gems are surrounded by splendid landscapes and in the immediate
vicinity of shady beer gardens or a homely country inn. On Mount Wallberg and along the Tegernsee
hiking trails, small mountain chapels are often consecrated to Mother Mary. On the lakeshore, you will
be able to visit many baroque churches with magnificent interiors. Day-trips to the greater region will
bring you to stunning medieval castles and remote country churches. The most popular pilgrimages of all
take you to some of the famous beer-making cloisters of Bavaria, where you may admire the architecture,
enjoy a brewery tour and relax under the trees with a delicious snack and a cold beer.
The Bräustüberl Beer Hall: Benedictine Monks were the very first inhabitants of the Tegernsee Valley.
More than 1250 years ago they built a cloister on the serene south-eastern lakeshore, which over time
was turned into the Bavarian king’s summer residence, and later came to host a brewery, the local high
school and the famous Bräustüberls Beer Hall. This bustling beer vault is always alive with chatter and
attracts guests from all over Bavaria and the world! Its popularity is based on its spaciousness and comfort for large groups, the impressive medieval architecture and historical murals as well as for its own
‘Tegernsee Hell’ lager beer, which is a piece of heaven.
Tegernsee Abbey: Next door to the beer hall, you will step into a completely different sphere: the vast
stucco and marble-floored abbey is a place for quiet contemplation and to admire the craftsmanship
of the great baroque master Hans Georg Asam. Catholic mass and many weddings are held here, and
if your timing is good, you might even catch a musical performance. Please remember to respect the
religious ceremonies you may come across: refrain from flash photography and keep noise down.

Description
A grand mansion built in the XVI century, was once one of the 12 sumptuous hunting residences of
the Grand Duke Ferdinando I, grandson of the famous Lorenzo de’ Medici il Magnifico. Built on a
hill of olive trees and vineyard overlooking the ValdiNievole valley, next to the medieval village of
Montevettolini, the villa has retained its original architectural beauty and serenity. The Villa has been carefully restored and improved upon by the present owner, the prince Borghese, whose family bought the property more than 200 years ago. All the rooms are decorated
with antique furniture and paintings, venetian glass chandeliers and Persian carpets, while all the
bathrooms have been recently renewed.

you can make your way to the top, which provides magnificent views of Florence, before making your
way down into the Boboli Garden.

ABOUT PERU, ECUADOR & THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
Whether your interest lies in the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, Cusco’s UNESCO sites, trekking, wildlife,
discovering the joys of the welcoming and colorful Peruvian culture, or all of the above, Peru is a place
thatwill delight each step of your journey. Ecuador’s capital city Quito deserves 2 days of your trip and the
magnificent Galapagos Islands warrants an additional 5-7 days. Famous for their wide variety of fearless wildlife and serving as the inspiration for Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, a cruise around these
fascinating islands is one of the world’s great travel experiences.
WHEN TO GO
Peru & Ecuador can be visited all year, although the peak season for visiting the Andean areas is between May
and October. Outside of this period, it can be rainy, although this offers the advantage of fewer visitors, greener
scenery and abundant flora, including orchids at Machu Picchu. The Galapagos can be more interesting during
August - December when the Humboldt current brings nutrients to wildlife and more mating occurs.

ABOUT ARGENTINA & CHILE
Enjoy the amazing sights of Iguazu Falls in the north of Argentina or visit the “End of the World” aboard
an Australis cruise and at the Los Cauquenes Resort and Spa in Ushuaia and finally scratch this off your
bucket list. If a more European experience is what you have in mind, spend quality time in ultra-chic

National Park and Patagonia, ensuring you are filling your days with wonderful new sights and sounds,
add in some of the best food and wine, and you’ve found heaven.
WHEN TO GO
Argentina & Chile have seasons that are opposite to the Northern Hemisphere. Buenos Aires & Santiago are hot
in summer (November to April) and mild in winter. The Lake District is pretty in spring (October) and autumn
(March). Patagonia is best in the Spring or the Fall and we would discourage you from visiting in June, July
or August. The arid northwestern region can be very hot during the summer (December to February), while
Mendoza province is temperate year-round.
The Region offers great value for those seeking unabashed luxury, vibrant cultures, award winning wines and
magnificent natural splendors such as Iguazu Falls, the Glaciers and National Parks of Patagonia. With a serene
back drop of the Andes Mountains, this region is overwhelmingly blessed with natural riches.

INDIA: A BRIEF HISTORY
India’s history begins as early as 2500 BC when an advanced culture existed in the Indus Valley. After its decline, myriad kingdoms ruled and fought for control over the land, some even establishing powerful regimes,
and many dynasties invaded the country – among whom were the Turks, Afghans and Mughals – following
which India was colonized by the Europeans – the French, Dutch, and Portuguese – and finally the British.
The British were forced to leave after regining for nearly 200 years, on August 15, 1947, celebrated as India’s
Independence Day.
46
Modern India is an independent and dynamic nation, vibrant and chaotic yet existing in synchrony; a seamless
blend of rapid urban developments and the inherent traditions that are a part of every day life, reflected in
festivals and rituals that have adapted to current times yet hold true to their history.
For travellers, India presents an expanse of opportunity; a land of incredible contrasts and paradoxes; an
assault on the senses.

ISRAEL
Population: 7.9 Million
Currency: New Shekel
Languages: Hebrew, English and
Arabic
Climate: Mediterranean with long,
hot, dry summers and cool, rainy
winters.
Suggested Stay: 2 weeks
Getting to Israel
Israel’s main international airport is Tel Aviv’s BenGurion International Airport and is used as a hub for
Israel’s three airports. Flight time from the East Coast of the United States is approximately 11 hours and
17 from the West Coast. There are direct flights from the US from Delta, El-Al, US Airways and United,
flying from JFK, Newark, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.
By Land: The only way to get into Israel is from Jordan or Egypt. Amman is only a short two hour drive
from Jerusalem which includes the half hour to cross the border.
By Sea: All major Mediterranean cruise ships dock in Israel for at least a night, usually two.
Israel: A Brief History
There is no way to squeeze Israel’s history in just a few lines. Most of the world’s Great Empires have
ruled this country - the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Persians, Greek, Romans, Muslims, Crusaders, Ottomans and the British Empire to name a few. But only the Jews have formed an independent
state on this piece of land. The first was the Kingdom of David, second the Maccabean in the 2nd Century BCE, and the 3rd is the Modern State of Israel, established in 1948. Today, Israel is a fascinating
mixture of ancient ruins and fundamental religions, with striking high-tech innovations, which gave
it the nick-name “the Start-up Nation”. It is not unlikely to see a flock of camels walking near one of
Israel’s innovative laboratories.
Geography
Located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, Israel is comprised of a variety of breathtaking
landscapes from the Negev Desert in the South to the inland Jezreel Valley, mountain ranges of the
Galilee, Carmel, and toward the Golan in the north. The Jordan River runs along the Jordan Rift Valley
from Mount Hermon to the Sea of Galilee which is green all year round and to the Dead Sea, the
lowest point on the surface of the Earth.

and in their own style. There is no such thing as an “off the shelf” package; each tour is extensively
researched, and created to meet all of the client’s needs and desires. We arrange visits to all of the
iconic sites Israel has to offer, as well as go beyond the ordinary sightseeing and include some of the
clandestine locations that enhance the cultural and heritage experience of visiting this historic country. Whether you’re visiting the country for an event such as a wedding, a religious journey (Christian
or Jewish), Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or wish to create a unique passage with an extension to Jordan, Israel
My Way’s detailed approach and expert tour guides will provide an experience you will never forget.
Major Cities and Points of Interest
Jerusalem: One of the oldest cities in the world and the holy city to three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). It is a
fascinating place where the first and the twenty-first century intertwine. The city is large, and can be separated into several distinct areas
including: The Old City and its walls form the UNESCO World Heritage Site - this breathtaking ancient city is home to holy sites for the
Jews, Christians, and Muslims including the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Temple Mount, and the Western Wall. West Jerusalem - the
Jewish-Israeli section of the city and is the modern, commercial heart of the city. Ein Kerem - a village neighborhood in West Jerusalem. It
is surrounded by picturesque mountains, olive and cypress trees, and home to an artistic community with many artists living in the area.
Several churches located here are believed to be built on the birthplace of John the Baptist.

Moving Around Israel
Since Israel has so many layers of history behind every building, stone, and tree it is highly recommended to visit this unique country with the help
of a guide. Israel’s tour guides are well known for their in-depth knowledge, and while touring with a guide you will not only ‘see’ places, but the
bible and history will come alive. A private guide can be hired not only for groups, but also for small families and even couples. The guide can
drive his own car, or your rental car. Israel My Way will work with you to customize your ideal itinerary and assign one of its top-notch guides to
lead you through the country.
Tel Aviv: The second largest city in Israel and has transformed into an exciting bustling metropolis and is known for its exciting nightlife,
young atmosphere and famous 24 hour culture (the city is referred to by the locals as “the city that never stops”). No trip to Tel Aviv is
complete without a visit to the fantastic beach and experiencing all the culture that comes with. The city also incorporates the ancient port
of Jaffa. Some points of interest include: Rabin Square - the biggest public square in Israel. Old Jaffa historic town with narrow alleys and art galleries. Tel Aviv Port - Commercial area in Northern Tel Aviv
featuring popular bars and nightclubs. Dizengoff Center - The most iconic shopping center in Israel.
Rothschild Boulevard - Tel Aviv’s prettiest street featuring restaurants, cafes and Bauhaus architecture.
Proclaimed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Eilat: A resort town on the “window of the Red Sea” located on the southern tip of the country and
devoted to a relaxing, fun atmosphere. The city’s beaches, nightlife and desert landscapes make it a
