2018 xmas markets tour

On popular request we added the CHRISTMAS MARKETS TOUR back to the itineraries, and they operate if we have a minimum group of 6 participating. 
Wooden huts and stands selling hot drinks, roasted almonds and Christmas decorations - these are prevalent in German (and European) city squares in the run-up to Christmas. Around 2,500 Christmas markets - both big and small -take place every year in Germany alone, with at least one in pretty much every town.
Some of these have a tradition and history going back centuries.


Our very special tour will include some of the highlights of our regular tours:
Wunderland Hamburg + train museums + cathedrals + palaces, and so much more...
In addition we will introduce you to the history of the Christmas Markets and will be visiting different markets in the following cities: Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Prague, and Nuremberg.
You will see standard-, theme- and historical markets, which you did not know even existed:
It combines train buff interests with the magic of European Christmas Markets!

In all, on our Christmas Markets tour you will experience:
  • 5 German cities + 1 city in the Czech Republic (we sample big train and luxury bus rides between the cities)
  • train layouts (including  the world's largest) and/or train-related activities
  • up to 10 Christmas Market visits
  • museums (several tech-/transportation related) and churches
  • lots and lots of European culture, food, and Advent spirit 
  • lots and lots of time to shop for unique gifts 
​Please note:  this tour - contrary to all others - will not include dinners, with the exception of our Welcome and Farewell Dinners plus one special occasion dinner, but none of the others, since we will visit most Xmas markets while the lights are on, and they offer such amazing food choices that we want you to experience them all:)

Our Xmas tour starts in Frankfurt and ends in Nuremberg, and will take place from Nov. 30th (starting at
Frankfurt Airport) to Dec. 10th.


If there is enough interest in the group (6 minimum), we can extend the tour by 2 days into Munich. and you could return home from either Munich or Frankfurt.

These tours do sell out!  A $500 deposit (always transferable) secures your spot in a group of max.16 travelers, 
all with the same interests.
