Start Hamburg at sunrise with the Reeperbahn, Elb Tunnel, harbor ferry, fish market, coffee, Franzbrötchen, and live music.
“Hamburg mal ganz anders… Es ist eine sehr besondere Tour, es lohnt auch im Urlaub und im Winter mal so früh aufzustehen. Fredo, der hier viele Jahren sein Revier hatte, konnte uns mit spannenden Geschichten und Erinnerungen tiefe Einblicke geben.”
Explore Munich’s Christmas markets with festive drinks, local snacks, history, and a small-group guide from Marienplatz to Oktoberfest.
“This was an absolutely amazing tour! We had a small group which made the tour very intimate. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. The food and drinks were great, and the market was amazing. This was my first time in Munich and this tour gave me some great places to check out and a lot of info about the city itself, well worth the cost. This is a must-do of you're here around the holidays and want to get into the Christmas spirit. It was an incredible experience and I can't wait to return to Munich!”
Explore Stuttgart Market Hall’s architecture, global food stalls, cellar, and history on a 90-minute German tour with prosecco.
“Durch die Markthalle von Frau Becker-Walter geführt zu werden ist ein großes Vergnügen :-) Echt schwäbisch, mit viel Temperament und Humor hat Frau Becker-Walter uns einen tollen Eindruck von diesem wundervollen historischen Gebäude und seiner Geschichte vermittelt. Wir empfehlen die Tour mit dem größten Vergnügen weiter! Martina und Alberto”
Review of Munich’s Christmas Market Food Tour, with Marienplatz, Residenz, local tastings, mulled wine, history, and practical booking tips.
“Iain was a WONDERFUL guide, who clearly loves his city. He naturally adapted his suggestions, commentary, and information to our particular group, and made this a uniquely wonderful experience!”
Explore Cologne’s Christmas markets, Kölsch culture, mulled wine, and local breweries on a lively three-hour small-group tour.
“Great tour of the Christmas markets. Fun going with a guide who knows where the best spots are. We had a lot of fun!”
Shop Berlin’s Winterfeldtmarkt, cook a seasonal four-course meal, and enjoy German wine in a tiny Schöneberg group.
“We absolutely loved our market and cooking experience with Kit. She took us through the markets, history, vendors, then back to her flat to prepare a seasonal 4 course menu. We're a group of 5 friends, 2 who are not cooks and they enjoyed it as well.”
Pick a city, a river or a castle.
