Tour Reviews
Our tour was excellent. Highlights include Melk, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg and Kirchberg. Plus the choice of hotel for Christmas which went off the ski fields was magical. Our tour guide made everything easy for us to enjoy this wonderful 15 days. Many thanks!

The tour was a great overall with all the accommodation being nice and lots of lovely food. Highlights were the snow in Kirchberg, visit to Cesky Krumlov and meeting the other lovely people in the tour group. Christmas was special because of the beautiful surrounds of the town. All in all I was very happy with the tour.
Kimberley, travelled December 2014

I have had a wonderful holiday. Christmas is always a very special time of year for me, and even though my husband and I were away from close family, we have had the best Christmas ever!
Snow falling on Christmas Day and waking up to a winter wonderland on Boxing Day was indescribable. What a wonderful part of the world. Sharing this with our new tour family was very special.

We as a couple, enjoyed every part of this tour. It was truly unforgettable. The history of the areas provided us an insight into how and why villages and cities were built. Deryck provided such a comprehensive insight into each area as we passed through it. Each stopover had its charm. Rothenburg was high on the list as a favourite. Kirchberg we enjoyed outstanding accommodation, meals, service and location. This has only whetted our appetite to see more of this beautiful country. The Christmas Eve church service was memorable.
Thanks for a wonderful tour, thanks to our tour manager and driver - outstanding!
