brochureWHAT OUR TRAVELERS SAY
- Valerie, N.The Christmas markets along the Rhine are magical. Each one has a different look and feel, a different version of gluhwein and schokolade, different crafts and ornaments and sweets, different fragrances and atmospheres. The holiday lights and decorations make one feel the wonder of the season, like being a child again. I would happily repeat this tour to refresh my holiday spirit.
- Charles M.The Holiday Markets tour is a magical way to see Germany, Luxembourg, and Paris as the cities and people wonderfully display the joy of the season!
