EUROPE AT CHRISTMAS
Do you believe in fairy tales?
Want to step into one?
In the weeks before Christmas, Europe’s old towns feel like the pages of a fairy tale. Lights shimmer above cobbled streets, festive music fills the squares, and the air carries the scent of roasted almonds and spices.
Even without snow, the Christmas atmosphere is unmistakable.
At Christmas Market Tours, we turn that atmosphere into guided Christmas road trips. Our road trips bring together enchanting markets, storybook towns and cosy stays in one thoughtfully planned experience. We meet you at the airport in your tour’s starting city, help you settle into the car and whisk you away into a Christmas fairy tale.

MORE THAN PLACES ON A MAP
The moments
you’ll take home.
That first evening glow
Arriving in a market square just as the lights begin to stand out against the winter sky.
Something warm, something delicious
A steaming mug, roasted almonds, and the happy question of what to try next.
A small treasure with a story
A decoration that brings you back to this evening whenever you hang it on your tree.
The pleasure of sharing it
A photograph together, a new conversation, and someone beside you who feels it too.
THE CHRISTMAS MARKET TOURS DIFFERENCE

to feel personal.
With a maximum of four guests, there is room for conversation, shared discoveries and a personal welcome.

A few things
you may be
wondering
Have another question? Tell us what would help you feel ready to join.
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.
Are accommodation and meals included?
Accommodation during the tour is included in every tariff. Economy includes accommodation in double or twin rooms in budget hotels, hostels or apartments. Your offer will confirm the accommodation, room arrangements and number of nights before you pay the deposit. Meals are not included, except daily breakfasts with Comfort Double / Twin and Comfort Single. Economy does not include breakfast. Admission tickets to castles, museums, paid Christmas markets and other attractions are not included and are paid separately.
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.
Does sending an enquiry reserve a place?
No. This acknowledges your request only. No place is held, your booking and departure are not confirmed, and no payment has been taken. We’ll share the programme, total price and conditions before you decide. Booking confirmation and departure confirmation are separate. Book your flights only after we have confirmed in writing that your departure will go ahead.
How does the double-room saving work?
Two guests travelling together can choose Comfort Double / Twin instead of two Comfort Single places. 8 days: €1,750 each (€3,500 for two), instead of €1,950 each in Comfort Single — a €400 saving per pair. 10 days: €2,480 each (€4,960 for two), instead of €2,680 each in Comfort Single — a €400 saving per pair. 12 days: €2,970 each (€5,940 for two), instead of €3,170 each in Comfort Single — a €400 saving per pair. Select Comfort Double / Twin in the form and tell us whether you prefer one double bed or two single beds. Room arrangements are confirmed in your written offer. Private tours are quoted separately.
