Dating back to the 15th century, Europe’s Christmas Markets offer unforgettable sights and flavors—twinkling lights, steaming mugs of mulled wine, handcrafted ornaments, and towering Christmas trees that rival the one at Rockefeller Center.

Christmas Market Tours vs. River Cruises

Prefer to unpack once? A Christmas Market River Cruise is your answer. Wake up in a new city each day as you glide past castles and riverside villages. River cruises offer a first-class, worry-free way to explore Europe’s historic waterways. Or choose a guided land tour to dive deeper into cities like Prague, Vienna, and Budapest—with charming stops in towns like Bratislava along the way. Both options include immersive activities like biking along riverside trails or sipping Glühwein under the stars.

  • Celebrate Advent in Europe’s most iconic Christkindlmarkts—an unforgettable bucket-list experience.

Carol was tremendous in her prompt attention to our vacation request. Due to circumstances out of our control, we are not able to join in on this tour. FOR SURE, we will use Carol in the future.

I wanted to send you this brief note to tell you what a great job Gabriela has done in planning our trips over the last four years. She is efficient, courteous and promptly responds to requests. She goes above and beyond and researches various trip options while trying to get us the best deal. She has saved time and money and makes her clients feel valued and appreciated. Thanks to her, I have not had to haggle with travel and airline companies about trip details or prices. Your company is very lucky to have her as an employee. I wish her continued success with your company.
