Friday – Our luxury coach will depart this morning, and head to Folkestone where we will catch the Eurotunnel train to Calais, from there we make our way to our overnight hotel in Germany for our evening meal with comfort stops on route.
Saturday - We depart after breakfast and travel to Austria arriving in plenty of time to settle in before dinner. Welcome drink on arrival with comfort stops on route.
Sunday – A free morning for you to explore the area or relax before a full hot lunch today in our hotel. Later this afternoon we head to Innsbruck ‘The City of the Alps’ where you will be able to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the Christmas markets. An opportunity to enjoy a light snack from all the delicious options the market has to offer before rejoining the coach for a hot drink and festive treats! We then take you to experience an authentic Tyrolean evening show with different instruments, Tyrolean dances, ‘shoe slapping’ and yodelling, a really fun evening for us all.

After this wonderful experience you will enjoy a steaming bowl of Austrian soup before we return to our hotel for coffee, cake, and Christmas stollen and to sing Austrian Christmas songs before dinner.
Tuesday – ‘Christmas Eve’ – This morning we walk you to a nearby 14th century farmhouse museum giving an insight of how people in the valley used to live, work, and hunt years ago. On this special day in the Christmas calendar, we will enjoy a live rendition of the Christmas story in their old barn. We then take you into the small city of Rattenberg, for a demonstration of traditional Austrian apple strudel making. We are including a hot drink and slice of this delicious Austrian treat, before free time to explore the local shops famous for its beautiful glass wear. Back to the hotel for a buffet evening meal. You may wish to attend Mass at the local church this evening and the hotel are kindly laying on Christmas stollen and mulled wine on your return.
