How much does it cost?

From €1,749 per person, the operator's advertised from-price, read on its own page on 12 Sept 2026. About $2,027 at ECB reference rates. Departures, room types and dates can price differently; the operator's page is the final word.

Is this trip mostly by train?

The evidence lists both train and minibus for transport between cities but does not break down which days use which, so an exact rail share cannot be confirmed.

Yes. An English-speaking tour escort accompanies the group throughout, with a maximum group size of 18.

Which Christmas markets does it visit?

Vienna, Salzburg, Munich, Nuremberg and Berlin.

What food and drink are included?

A welcome dinner in Vienna, a coffee and pastry tasting in Vienna, and a mug of Gluhwein (mulled wine).

What hotels are used?

The evidence names only Hotel Lasserhof, without a city. The tour uses 3 nights in a 3-star hotel and 3 nights in a 4-star hotel, but does not say which city has which.

Christmas Market Tour in Central Europe

Guided 7-day Christmas market tour from Vienna to Berlin

Authentic Europe runs this guided, 7-day, 6-night Christmas market tour from Vienna to Berlin, with an English-speaking tour escort accompanying the group of up to 18 travelers throughout. After two days in Vienna, including a guided walk through its Christmas market on day 2, the tour travels to Salzburg on day 3 to explore its markets, then on to Munich on day 4 by way of the Hellbrunner Christmas market. Day 5 takes in Nuremberg before the tour continues to Berlin, where a guided walk through the Christmas market fills day 6 ahead of departure on day 7. Along the way, the tour includes a welcome dinner in Vienna, a coffee and pastry tasting, and a mug of Gluhwein, the German mulled wine. Transport between cities is a mix of train and minibus, though the evidence does not say which days use which. This suits travelers who want a guided introduction to five cities' Christmas markets in one trip, with accommodation split between 3-star and 4-star hotels along the route.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has held at €1,749 every time.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.

What to know before you look closer

The evidence names only one hotel, Hotel Lasserhof, without stating which city or whether it is the 3-star or 4-star property named in the inclusions. Confirm exact hotels with Authentic Europe before booking.
The itinerary does not say which travel days use the train and which use the minibus. The transport list and inclusions describe both together without a day-by-day breakdown.
Given the name and content, this is a seasonal Christmas market departure; confirm exact dates with Authentic Europe, as no specific departure dates are listed in the evidence available to us.
