    There was the largest December snow in 90 years just before we a. It made getting there a little difficult but well worth it! Our carriage ride was magical. Greg made it even more special. He was so attentive to everyone’s needs and abilities. Never rushing anyone. Not to mention his surprises every time we got back on the bus. Starting each day with “Louie Armstrongs it’s a wonderful world. We all would sing along. We became friends instantly and felt like family within just a few days together. I highly recommend Greg as a tour guide he really added to the experience. The atmosphere he created by showing us all how much he truly cared for each of us. He is an exceptional person and I for one feel that the trip would have not been the same without him!!!!!

    Very comfortable coach and great hotels, enjoyable tour. Only issue the tour should have started one day later, we missed the Famous Nuremberg Christmas Market - but of course not an issue to any other than the 1st tour of the season.

    The company should have checked Christmas Market opening dates. The most famous Nuremberg Christmas Market was opening the day of our departure so we didn't get to experience it. But overall a good time

    This was a great tour! Insight is so organized and Brianna, our tour director was very personable, helpful and knowledgeable. I took this trip by myself which can be a bit scary but was just fine in this case because Insight and Brianna had all the prep so down. I learned a ton about German and its history, had fun shopping at what felt like a million Christmas markets and was impressed by both the quality of hotels (except for one but I am told that is the case in that city unless you are willing to stay really far from the city center) and the space and quality of driving on and by our bus/bus driver. I went on a most of the extra tours which were super but I also had fun just walking around since all of our hotels was close enough to walk to various Christmas markets, restaurants and historic sites. I highly recommend this trip to anyone (singles, couples, families or groups of friends) who wants to visit German Christmas Markets in style and comfort without having to break the bank.
