    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.

    What an outstanding experience! Loved all of the locations! Loved the variety. If I had to choose, I'd pick Vienna. It was just magical and beautiful! Loved Budapest, Dresden, Cesky Krumlov, Bratislava, and Prague! Truly a trip of a lifetime!❤️

    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.

    Travel Support
    • ColletteOperatorWritten September 2024

      We would not recommend this tour to anyone with mobility impairments. The overall activity level of this tour is a level 3. This means you're an on-the-go traveler who can walk and stand for 2-3 hours, cover several miles on uneven surfaces, climb three flights of stairs, and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
