If you visit our website and select the Christmas Markets of German trip, select a 2022 date and at about 2/3 of the way down (using the scroll bar) you'll see the heading "Optional Experiences" with the 2022 selections. These may change in both content and price for 2023 but should provide a guide as to the type of experience and the cost for each one.
