Tour Overview

Experience the magic of the holiday season with our "Munich Xmas Markets" tour! Spend an unforgettable weekend in festive Munich, Germany, where the city comes alive with enchanting Christmas markets. Savor hot spiced wine, holiday treats, and the Bavarian atmosphere while exploring market stalls filled with nutcrackers and seasonal delicacies. Enjoy a guided walking tour of Munich's major landmarks, including the Frauenkirche and Marienplatz, and visit the historic Dachau concentration camp. Stay in centrally located accommodations with options ranging from 3-star hotels to hostels, and even a 4-star upgrade upon request. With plenty of free time to explore on your own, this tour offers the perfect blend of guided activities and independent adventure.
*Trip Style - This is an independent trip ideal for groups of friends, family, couples, or even for an independent-minded solo traveler. It is designed as a travel & destination package, not solely as a "group trip". You will be on group tours/activities with other travelers and in a room with other travelers if you book the "shared dorm hostel" package (if you book the "private" room package then you of course will be in your own private room). You will however, have independent time between the guided group tours/activities to explore on your own and do as you please, and will receive a detailed info packet by email with numerous recommendations for additional group activities or tours (beyond what is included), sights/museums and food/drink/nightlife info, etc. It's a great balance between guided & included tours/activities and free time so that you have plenty of time on your own to do what you want.

Great trip to Lake Bled, Slovenia

15-Feb-2018

The Slovenia Euroadventure is amazing! A group of friends and I went the last weekend in Jan and it was one of our best weekend trips. We went skiing 2 days and still had plenty of time to explore Lake Bled. Bled is a winter wonderland and such a cute town. Without Euroadventures I would not have been able to visit Slovenia. Travel accommodations, place to stay and activity options are included (pay for activity you choose separately) so the price is fair for what you get! I would recommend this to any student studying abroad, I am planning on hopefully doing another trip with them before leaving Europe.

Thank you Tour Radar for introducing us to a new exciting, sometimes fearful experience of travelling aside from the usual conventional way which was the only way we had gone around to see places. We would also want to thank Shaun Hoffman of EuroAdventures for professionally navigating our tour & helped us create another wonderful memory of a lifetime. Thank you Shaun for connecting with us 24/7 during our tour, email & by phone. Your prompt and usual attention was very much appreciated. Rest assured that our families & friends will hear of your great work. Good luck and best wishes to you & your family. Be well & stay safe.

Oktoberfest mayham!

15-Oct-2023

Oktoberfest is wild wild wild and Munich is a top city. We did the middle weekend with a group of 8 of us. Company set us up properly.

Walking distance to the festival from the hotel and they sent us a proper Oktoberfest "how to" which was really helpful

Prague weekend

10-Feb-2024

Loved the weekend in Prague. My buddy and I did it in December when there was Christmas markets going on. Really cool time to be there and Prague is just a super cool, beautiful city. Guide and tours were good as was the boat cruise and then especially the beer tour they include with pilsner tasting (included). We booked the private hotel room option and it was centrally located and comfortable.

Enjoyed the trip. I did not like receiving the itinerary in multiple emails or three days before departure. I am a planner and prefer to have things ahead of schedule. Overall good trip

The tour company should allow the travelers use the bathroom before the trip, instead of directing them to use outside facilities just before the tour started. Maybe just grant one that request.
