beautiful destination, the Christmas markets are AWESOME. The included excursion was informative and left us in the middle of everything so we had less walking to do and could maximize our time in this destination

another fascinating destination. the excursion had 3 activity levels for those who like to move quickly, via bike and slow walkers... something for everyone here! Bonus was the evening visit to Gengenbach.... home of the world's largest Advent calendar! WOW what a magical village my favorite stop all week!
