This Christmas market tour was awesome! Our guide, Antonis, made the entire trip seamless, fun, and educational all at the same time. His knowledge of each city brought so much depth to the experience, and his energy made every stop enjoyable. The tour struck the perfect...

Book these Christmas Markets!

2nd-time traveler Katie

This tour was amazing! I was nervous knowing there was going to be a big group of us (42). I ended up having an absolute blast and have more friends now. Antonis is the best guide one could ask for! In additional to EF’s excursions (which were amazing), Antonis offered a few...

Christmas markets

3rd-time traveler Alexis

Christmas in Europe is a Christmas I’ll never forget. Antonis was the best tour director I’ve had on any of my EF trips combined. The entire trip was very well organized and we always knew what was to come next. All hotels were nice, the only one that seemed a bit older/ less...

AMAZING

1st-time traveler Hannah

Elo was the absolute best. She was the perfect mix of tour guide and friend. I felt like she gave the trip structure and autonomy at the same time. All three cities were a dream. I could stay in Prague forever.

A Christmas Market Story

3rd-time traveler Toni

This was my first EF Ultimate Break trip and, as a solo traveler, I honestly had no idea what to expect. What I found were festive Christmas markets, winter wonderlands (the last Swiss Alps photo was the view from our hotel), and unforgettable memories. Yes, this trip is fast...

10 out of 10 Experience

1st-time traveler Anonymous

I loved this experience! It was my first EF trip. I went knowing no one so I went in expecting to mostly be by myself, but the group was wonderful. Our tour director enhanced the experience by creating opportunities for us to bond such as the additional excursions or going to a...

The best way to kick off the holiday season!

1st-time traveler Anonymous

I couldn't think of a better first trip with EF. The tour was the perfect mixture of planned activities and free time to explore the city. Mira was a fantastic tour guide who really went above and beyond to provide resources/suggestions on how to spend our free time. All of the...

Amazing trip! Mira is awesome!

10th-time traveler Anonymous

Overall amazing trip! Wonderful hotels by EF standards! They were really nice and in great locations! I hope that EF adds in Dresden, Germany as an extra last day or excursion for the trip. It’s only an 1.5 hour drive from Prague and it has Europe’s oldest and best Christmas...

Best Decision Ever

1st-time traveler Morgan

I was on the fence about the trip in general but bucked up the courage to go… and I am so thankful I went. Met so many beautiful and amazing people in my group, seen so many wonderful sights and ate a ton of delicious food! Georgia was the best of the best tour guides, and...
