I would like to join your group for the tour classic Christmas Market in Germany.

Are you planning to book Marian and Diane together under one reservation and share a room, or will they book separately? If you intend to share a room, you may opt for a triple room. However, please be aware that our triple rooms are designed for two adults and one child. Three adults may find the space limited, as these rooms typically include one double bed and one foldaway bed, with minimal suitcase storage.

What is the best way to handle air booking? I'm assuming fly into Berlin and out of Munich? Can you suggest dates and times.

Yes, the itinerary begins in Berlin and concludes in Munich, so booking flights into Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and out of Munich Airport (MUC) is the way to go. To ensure eligibility for our complimentary airport transfers, we suggest arriving before 2:00 PM on the first day and departing after 10:00 AM on the final day.

Is travel insurance included and if not, which would you recommend?

Travel insurance is not included in this tour package. We recommend considering purchasing travel insurance to cover unexpected events such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, or lost luggage. Although we can't endorse specific providers, it's best to compare policies from reputable insurance companies to find one that suits your specific needs and circumstances.

What is the typical group size for the Christmas Markets of Germany tour?

The typical group size is around 33 guests, with a maximum of 40 guests.

Can I get a refund for missed transfers?

No refund/compensation is available for missed or delayed transfers due to unforeseen circumstances such as road works, weather, or flight delays, or if the service is not used by the guest.

What are the options for travelers interested in additional nights before or after the tour?

There was the largest December snow in 90 years just before we a. It made getting there a little difficult but well worth it! Our carriage ride was magical. Greg made it even more special. He was so attentive to everyone’s needs and abilities. Never rushing anyone. Not to mention his surprises every time we got back on the bus. Starting each day with “Louie Armstrongs it’s a wonderful world. We all would sing along. We became friends instantly and felt like family within just a few days together. I highly recommend Greg as a tour guide he really added to the experience. The atmosphere he created by showing us all how much he truly cared for each of us. He is an exceptional person and I for one feel that the trip would have not been the same without him!!!!!Show more
