The good switzerland christmas tours fill weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Join a local guide for a two-hour walk through five Zurich Christmas markets. You’ll see the huge tree at the main station, hear carols at the singing Christmas tree, visit Münsterhof, and finish at Bellevue’s Christmas village. Alexander is one guide praised for his Zurich history.
“Alexander is a great tour guide with so much knowledge about Zurich and its history.”
Join a guide such as Maria for a two-hour evening walk through Zurich’s Christmas markets. See the Illuminarium, Swarovski tree, Singing Christmas Tree, old-town lights, fondue chalet, and Bellevueplatz market. The tour is in English, limited to 16 people, and involves steady walking.
“Probably the best Tour we have done. Covered the history of Zurich and of course we covered all of the amazing Christmas Markets. Our guide was engaging and also made numerous helpful recommendations for our trip in Zurich. Couldn't recommend this tour enough.”
Travel from Basel to Colmar by train with a private English-speaking guide, explore the old town and Christmas market, enjoy free time for lunch, then taste Alsatian wines at a local organic producer. The tour lasts about 6 to 10 hours and returns to Basel SBB.
“We had an amazing day trip to Colmar over the Easter weekend! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience completely personalized. The town was even more charming with all the Easter decorations, and we loved exploring at our own pace.”
Travel from Basel to two Alsatian Christmas markets in one afternoon. You get two hours in medieval Ribeauvillé, then nearly three hours in Colmar after dark. The tour runs in English, includes private air-conditioned transport, and costs $78.37 per person.
“Brilliant trip to two fantastic Christmas markets. Ribeauville was the absolute star of the show. When they said it was a medieval market, we were not prepared for just what that meant. Traditional costumes, food, music, performances. It was amazing. The town itself is like something out of a painting. Gorgeous colourful chocolate box buildings and so many little shops to dip into. Colmar was very busy and a bit spread out, by comparison, but enjoyable, especially after dark. Overall, we would recommend this trip.”
Pick a market, a lights run or a night in the snow.
