CHRISTMAS 2026 · SMALL-GROUP TOURS FOR UP TO 4 GUESTS

BEFORE YOU PACK YOUR SCARF

A few things
you may be wondering.

From who you will travel with to how booking works, here are the details to help you plan your Christmas journey.

Travelling together

A small group, your guide at the wheel, and time to enjoy the places along the way.

How many people travel together?

Each journey is designed for up to four guests, plus an English-speaking driver-guide. You may share the journey with other guests, keeping the group small enough for conversation and individual questions.

Will I need to drive?

No. You travel as a passenger. Your driver-guide handles the driving and parking between the destinations on your itinerary. At the markets and in the old towns, we explore on foot.

Can I join on my own or as a couple?

Yes. Solo travellers, couples and friends are welcome to enquire. Tell us how many people are coming, and we will explain the available departures and room arrangements before you book.

Is this a private tour?

These are small-group journeys, so you may travel with other guests. If you would like to travel only with your own party, ask whether an exclusive departure is available. Availability and the offer will be confirmed before you decide.

Will there be free time?

Yes. The proposed programmes combine time with your guide and time to browse the stalls, take photographs, choose a café or revisit a favourite square. Meeting points and times will be explained as part of your daily plans.

Before you travel

The practical details that help you choose the right journey.

Where does my tour start and finish?

The 4-day Bavarian Christmas Escape starts in Munich and ends in Nuremberg. The 7-day Alsace & Rhine Christmas Story starts in Strasbourg and ends in Basel. The 10-day Grand Christmas Journey starts in Munich and ends in Basel. Exact meeting and finishing points and times will be confirmed before booking.

Are accommodation and meals included?

Your departure offer will set out the accommodation arrangements, meals, transport and any other included services, together with additional costs. Overnight cities shown in the itinerary describe the proposed route; hotel choices and meal inclusions are still to be confirmed.

Are airport or station transfers included?

Arrival and departure transfers have not yet been confirmed as part of the tours. Tell us how you plan to arrive and leave. Your offer will explain the meeting arrangements and any available transfers or additional costs.

How much walking is involved?

Market visits involve walking and standing outdoors, often on cobbled or uneven streets. Many historic centres have restricted vehicle access. Tell us about any mobility needs before booking so we can discuss the route and its suitability with you.

How much luggage can I bring?

Space in the vehicle depends on the final travel arrangements. Tell us about your luggage plans when you enquire. The permitted bags and available space will be confirmed before you book; a luggage allowance is not yet published.

What if the weather or market programme changes?

These are proposed seasonal itineraries. Visits and their order may change to fit the Christmas market calendars, winter conditions or local events. Your departure information will explain the confirmed programme and any changes to the plans.

Dates & booking

Start with your plans. Review the details before making a commitment.

When can I travel in 2026?

The journeys are being planned around the Christmas market season in late November and December. Exact departure dates will be confirmed against the local market calendars. Send your preferred dates, or tell us that your dates are flexible.

How much does a tour cost?

Prices are still being finalised. Request the details for your preferred journey and party size. You will receive the total price, included services, additional costs and booking conditions before deciding whether to book.

Does sending an enquiry reserve a place?

No. An enquiry or booking request records your plans for review. It does not confirm availability, reserve a place or take a payment. A booking is confirmed only after you accept the offer and meet the booking conditions provided for your departure.

What are the payment and cancellation terms?

Payment, confirmation, amendment and cancellation terms will be included in the offer for your departure. They are not yet published as a fixed policy. Review those details before making a payment or arranging non-refundable onward travel.
