Balkans Christmas markets Trips

What a Great Experience , my tour manager Daniel gave us so many fascinating things about Germany and Austria can’t forget all the great jokes . Collette had us staying at a hotel with a Beautiful View of the Mountains . The Tour Bus took us everywhere we needed to be plus a train ride that was so relaxing. I had such a Great time I will book another trip in 2026 with Collette . Xmas markets were everywhere with so many items to choose from . I enjoyed the mulled wine on those cold days !

The tour was great. Need to add a couple of days just for some on your own time and not so rushed. Our tour guide was great. The Intercontinental was the best hotel. The first hotel was hard for the seniors to access the shower. The last hotel was the worst. Trying to hard to be cool and was not the right hotel for this age group. The showers were good though. Air seating was horrible. Had us at the back of the plane with short connection times when we had to get through customs. I don’t ever want to fly on Lufthansa ever again.

We were allowed a nice amount of time on our own which was great. Our tour manager had great suggestions for activities we might enjoy during our free time. The planned activities were well organized and well thought out to give us a great experience. The hotels were very nice. Our bus and bus driver were awesome.

WE LOVED THE DANUBE RIVER CRUISE WITH THE PRAGUE EXTENSION AND THE CHRISTMAS MARKETS. OUR TOUR MANAGER MIRNA WAS THE BEST. WE LEARNED NEW THINGS ABOUT THE AREA WE VISITED

I will never travel to Europe again without a Collette tour. It was fantastic. I have always been the one to plan family and girlfriend trips and thought planning it on my own left more flexibility and saved money. I was wrong. With Collette, every detail was planned and perfect. It started with my luggage not making it to our destination. Within a few hours, my suitcase was delivered to my room. I loved not having to carry my luggage. Collette delivered it to the room after each stop and they picked it up outside our rooms early in the morning. Our tour guide, Petra was wonderful. She gave us an agenda the day before and we knew just what to expect. My group included four girlfriends and we went to the Christmas markets in December 2025. We went to five countries which was the perfect amount. In every city, we had an authentic dinner, went to a Christmas markets and had plenty of free time to explore. Each city had an expert tour guide from that city. Our hotels were all 3 & 4 stars with wonderful breakfast buffets and omlet stations. It was so much fun meeting other people from all around the United States. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this trip was.

The Markets were magical and the Alps amazing with snow. Making strudel with the group.. .horse and buggy ride with sheepskin blankets and schnapps. Castles, and painted art on homes in Obberamagau... Amazing everything!!!!
