Christmas Trips · DESSERT TOURS
The good christmas dessert tours fill weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend 50 minutes aboard historic Maria Croon, sailing through central Prague during Advent. You’ll hear Christmas carols, see the city’s decorations from the river, and receive traditional sweets plus mulled wine, hot chocolate, coffee, or tea. No named guide is provided.
Meet at the Opera House at 4:30 pm for a 2.5-hour English tour with guides such as Katalin, Zsuzsa, and Istvan. Walk to St. Stephen’s Basilica, three Christmas markets, and the Danube, with chimney cake, mulled wine, and local food tips along the way.
“We had a lovely afternoon discovering the Christmas markets with Zsuzsa. She gave us tips on which food we should try and which ones are prepared in the traditional or classic manner. She also gave us tips on where to buy the best pastries in town and introduced us to the section of the road where every winning "Hungarian wine of the year" is lined up. We also got the chance to try mulled wine and hot tea and we love them. They warm the stomach which helps with the freezing temperature at night.”
Walk from the Hungarian State Opera to Budapest’s Christmas markets, stopping at Szent István Square, Gresham Palace, and Vörösmarty Square. Your English-speaking guide explains Hungarian holiday customs, with mulled wine and chimney cake included. Guides have included Zoltán, Ferenc, and Odea.
“Zoltán was terrific. Ask for him. Very knowledgeable and good English. Good balance of history and Xmas markets.”
Join Welcome Tokyo at LUXURY STAND BAR & CAFE MILAS in Shibuya from 9:00 p.m. for games, music, an all-you-can-eat cake buffet, and a midnight countdown. Your ticket includes the event and cakes, but you must buy at least one ¥800 drink.
