Sunrise walk from Hamburg’s Reeperbahn to the Fish Market with Elb Tunnel access, a harbor ferry ride, coffee, and local snacks.
“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.”
Small-group Munich Christmas markets with a guide, multiple glühwein styles, festive snacks, and time to shop at top squares.
“This was amazing tour. We had two guides and both were committed to making sure we got the most out of the Christmas market scene. They introduced us to the best foods and mulled wines in the markets, but also took us away from the inner city to check out some more secretive and unique markets including the Christmas forest, the pink market, and the moonlight express. Thank you for fostering the perfect Christmas experience for us!”
A 90-minute guided walk through Stuttgart Market Hall, with local stories, global food stops, and an included prosecco glass for $31.
“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”
Munich Christmas market food tour with glühwein and tastings. Hit Marienplatz, Residenz and Viktualienmarkt in about 3 hours.
“The tour with Patrick was a perfect introduction to the Christmas markets in Munich. The food options were delicious and plentiful. He was very knowledgeable about local history, particularly of the architecture. He was good with my children, even getting the one in a bad mood to come out of his shell. The pace was perfect.”
Berlin Christmas lights bus tour with a live guide, market stops incl. Charlottenburg Palace, and free mulled wine. 2.5 hours.
“It went smoothly. Next time I would like to have a non-alcoholic punch. And maybe a few funny anecdotes about Berlin or Christmas. 🤶”
