    The Christmas markets in Germany were outstanding. We were given plenty of free time to explore on our own.

    I found Collette to be a solid company. I liked everything included in one price and what was not included was clearly indicated before booking. Hotels were good not the Waldorf but not bargain basement, alll centrally located. I liked Petra and found her history lessons informative. Not a fan of cold weather but was Christmas after all! The countries are beautiful but was redundat.

    They need to change the name of the tour which featured much more touring than market shopping. The architecture and history was amazing, but the short time for shopping in some places was very disappointing. My favorite place was Cesky Krumlov where we learned about garnets and moldavite. Beautiful gems! We bought several pieces for Christmas gifts.

    Janet

    Asked on April 23rd, 2024

    I'm interested in learning more specific details about the Sound of Vienna add-on. I've been reading reviews about the event, and they're mixed. I'm assuming our seats are not assigned or blocked off. How early will we get at the venue in order to secure good seats? Is the "concert" 3 hrs or is the total time queuing, watching, and returning to our hotel 3 hrs? Is the night of the Sound of Vienna concert on the same night when we would have our only night to see the Vienna Christmas market at night?

    Tour Details
    • ColletteOperatorWritten April 2024

      We do actually have seats reserved before the group arrives. They are very good seats in the front, and because they are reserved in advance, we never have to worry about getting there earlier. The total duration given is for the full experience including the group travel time. The concerts starts exactly at 8:30PM, and if someone or a group arrives 1 minute after that time, they will have to wait until the first performance ends in order for them to open the door. This is part of the built in culture of German / Austrian / Swiss punctuality! The concert will last 2 hours. Half-way through there is an interval of approximately 10 minutes. During this break our guests have 1 flute of Austrian sparkling wine, a glass of orange juice, or mineral water included. We get these tokens upon arrival, and we hand 1 token to each of our travelers before they take their. An explanation is also provided for how to proceed during the interval. Travelers can enjoy the Vienna Christmas markets the day before since there is leisure time built into that evening for their own explorations. The Tour Manager will be on hand to help you coordinate and understand the most important details.
