Compare three Alpine Christmas markets in one day, with guided walks, free time, hotel pickup, and festive South Tyrolean scenery.
“The tour was not available on the given date, so I could have it one day after or one day before. I chose one day after and it was the day when it snowed 40 cm in the Alps. We could not make it to Innsbruck, but Matteo offered a memorable experience. First we were into the snow until the frontier, in Gries bei Brenner, then, besides Vipiteno (Sterzing) and Bressanone (Brixen) which we could see (the info point in the city has a booklet writing about the most important Christmas markets in South Tyrol which are Boze, Sterzing, Brixen, Bruneck and Meran), we went up the mountains to Ortisei…”

“Payer aussi cher pour finir dans une cantine le midi Peu de temps sur place. Le prix ne vaut pas du tout ce qui est réellement proposé. Je déconseille fortement cette activité sauf si vous souhaitez perdre beaucoup d’argent On est resté 3h sur place, puis finir à la cantine le midi, la nourriture était mauvaise, et c’est inacceptable de payer 700e pour 2 personnes et manger de la si mauvaise nourriture Donc si vous souhaitez prendre cette agence, c’est à la condition de finir plumer, c’est grotesque”

Explore Ypres, Messines, Passchendaele, Tyne Cot, and Flanders Field on a private WWI tour from Bruges, Lille, or Ghent.
“Soren was an outstanding tour guide and made my visit to the Ypres Salient truly memorable. He took me all across the area, visiting the key WWI sites, and his depth of knowledge was exceptional. He explained the history clearly and thoughtfully, bringing the events of the First World War to life with context, detail, and respect. His passion for the subject really showed, and he was happy to answer questions and tailor the tour to my interests. The experience was not only informative but also deeply moving. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to understand the history of Ypres and the Great War.”
