Itinerary
Day 1: Vienna
Day 2: Vienna
Take a break and indulge in some coffee and cake in one of the famous Viennese coffee houses and then wander around Vienna's Christmas Markets to experience the lively atmosphere of this European holiday tradition.
Day 3: Vienna/Salzburg
Day 4: Salzburg/Munich
Depart for Munich in the afternoon and stop at the Hellbrunner Christmas Market. This especially atmospheric Christmas Market has been held here for almost 20 years and features over 700 conifers decorated with red Christmas balls and lights immersing the area in a warm glow. In the evening, you'll have a chance to enjoy some free time to explore the Christmas markets in Bavaria's capital with your CEO.
Day 5: Munich/Berlin
Then, the group will travel to Nuremberg to visit one of the oldest Christmas Markets in the world and arguably the most famous. Make sure to try some Nuremberg Lebkuchen, a German cake or cookie that is similar to gingerbread, before wandering through this charming winter fairytale filled with wooden stalls, old-fashioned carousels, and if you're lucky some lazy snowflakes. Afterwards, hop on a train to transfer to Berlin where you'll stop for the night.

Exceptional lots to see and many highlights. Only the time spend in Salzburg and Munich was to short.

Wonderful Christmas tour and fun group dinners. However, a bus tour to Hallstatt and Melk on my own added a much needed excursion that should be part of the tour.

Christmas markets tour was magical. So many different and varied markets to explore in some of the most beautiful towns. Our CEO, Elena was very organized, knowledgeable and friendly. Such a great group to spend time with. Fabulous memories to keep.

Great time was had by all 18 of us, which probably doesn't happen all the time . Keep up the good work and maybe think about bus all the way. Have a great 2024 to all at G adventures.

I loved traveling with g adventures, they provided a safe way to travel and see new things. I have always been hesitant to use tour groups but g adventures has changed my mind. I would recommend them to anyone that would ask!
12/19/2023
Had a great time, however lack of detail prior meant we booked activities as we thought we had a lot more free time. This was wasted expense.

It was fast paced but a lot of fun. I met a lot of great people. And our CEO Izzy really made the trip extra special.

This was a perfect trip to kick off Christmas. Not only did I get my shopping done at the Christmas Markets but also saw some beautiful cities, scenery and amazing food. My daughter and I loved it.

Had a great time bonding with daughters and meeting new friends.

I did enjoy the trip with a nice bunch of people but the hotels were not up to standard. The person at reception in Munich was checking everyone in and manning the phones and the Bar.

On the whole, I enjoyed my experiences. I liked seeing the Christmas markets, and I felt the itinerary was generally well-paced. I had hoped to see more cultural, arts, and historical venues and sites, particularly in Germany.
12/16/2023
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The Christmas markets were very special and I enjoyed that we had time to do other things in the cities we visited. I added extra days to the beginning in Vienna and at the end in Berlin to be able to see everything I want.
12/15/2023
This was a great tour! There was time for both the Christmas markets and to explore some history of the cities. I liked that fact that city transport was explained well or that you could walk a lot of places. Would for sure recommend!

Incredible tour. Lots to see and do. Might want to warn people that there is lots of walking so if they struggle it might not be the best for them. Tour leader was really great at his job. So kind and understanding to everyone. Felt more like ...
