    · December 11th, 2022
    Tour guide and bus driver were excellent. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and well spoken. Christmas markets were located in historic portions of Germany, which was the highlight of our tour. The Christmas markets sold basically the same items, with many of the shop sellers affiliated with national companies. The weather was cold, which made the stops seem too long.

      For the time the trip ends on the Dec 19th, it would be anytime really. Our transfers drop off at the Berlin airport at 6am, 8am or 11am and we would recommend that your flights not departure for a minimum of 3 hours after your drop off.

  • H

    Heidi

    Asked on July 27th, 2022

    Is there an advantage to leaving on a Friday rather than Sunday? (Dec 9? or Dec 11?) I see the Wartburg Castle in Eisenach (Sat/Sun only) is only available certain times that may be missed by leaving on a different day. Are there any other advantages/disadvantages to leaving before or after a weekend?

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten July 2022

      To answer your questions, it honestly just depends on your preference on leaving on a Friday vs and Sunday. The Wartburg Castle in Eisenach visit also states for me throughout my research that the Eisenach Christmas market would only take place on Saturday or Sunday. If you didn't want to miss the Eisenach Christmas market then I would recommend the Dec 9th date because the group would be visiting on Sunday the 11th.
