Austria Tours in December 2025

I loved this tour. Each of the Christmas Markets were different. The shopkeepers were gracious and helpful. The crew aboard ship insisted on spoiling us, which was wonderful. I loved the guides and the city tours. Along with good food and beautiful scenery it made for an unforgettable trip.

I went with my wife and her sister who wanted Christmas Markets. I was there to see southern Germany. I would have welcomed more time to see the cities we visited. It wasn't what you marketed it, but a German Christmas Market/ Southern Germany City tour would help those spouses who can only visit so many Markts without going crazy.

The tour was wonderful from start to finish. Our tour guide Joe was resourceful, knowledgeable, and very friendly. Our accommodations were wonderful. When we arrived in Innsbruck and walking out of the hotel had not only a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains but also of one of the main Christkindlmarkts right across the street, I was confident that the tour had been well planned - and it was.

Visiting the Christmas markets was really nice. The organ concert was exceptional, and seeing some aspects of life in Austria and Bavaria and interacting with residents if the above was very interesting.

The Christmas Markets were great, it was my first time doing an overseas tour so I didn’t have much experience in that type of traveling. When I got back home, I felt the experience was not long enough and I wanted to go back.

Trip was truly magical. From visiting markets in several towns to learning how to make strudel after a sleigh ride, the pace and activities were perfect. One of my favorite things was the traditional tyrolean dinner show.
