Deidri· May 6th, 2023Efficient, independent and thorough
Trafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for your review. We're delighted that our local team made such a positive impression, and we hope you'll join us for your next guided trip soon.Trip date: December 2022- Timothy· December 11th, 2022Tour 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.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for your review.

Asked on October 2nd, 2022With the covid policies changing, is there anyway we can do the tour in dec 2022 without being vaccinated? We can take a test to show proof of no covid.
- TrafalgarOperator•Written October 2022
All guests traveling with Trafalgar through December 31, 2022 are required to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, which may include a booster shot. Children not eligible for vaccination must provide a verifiable and negative Covid-19 test result, taken within 72 hours prior to the start of the tour.

Heidi
Asked on July 27th, 2022Is 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?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written 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.
