Pam Doffek, Tallahassee, FL- "I enjoyed both countries. The markets were smaller than in Austria and Switzerland, but fun nonetheless. The food was a nice change. The pre-rescheduled tours were very nice and of sufficient length."

Lynne Creed, North Bend, WA- "It was an amazing trip and I am so glad it included both countries. The old town and market in each town each had a distinct character of their own."

Melissa Takahashi, Mariposa, CA- "I had such a great time on the Creative Crochet Corner Bavaria & Austria trip! It was a special retirement celebration for my mom, and my first time to Austria and Germany. Betsy was great with the craft instruction, and navigating the large group through different holiday markets and activities. Her relationship with the bus drivers and tour guides made the experience feel really well organized. There was plenty of activities to make it a fun day, with plenty of time on our own to explore what we wanted in the magical areas we visited. I learned a lot about where we stayed, and the accommodations were very convenient to some of the featured activities like spending time where parts of the Sound of Music was filmed. Salzburg and the surrounding areas we visited are full of such rich history in a beautiful landscape, and this tour made it a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend taking this tour."

Lisa Wilson, North Massapequa, NY- "What an awesome trip!! I absolutely loved the balance of planned trips and free time. We got to see and do so much but also had time to get to know each other and work on our crafts. I feel like I made 30 new friends. Everyone in the group was just wonderful!!"

Keri Burgwald, North Massapequa, NY- "Our trip was a wonderfully fun whirlwind of precious memories. We enjoyed meeting and hanging out with Rllen and our guide, Agnes Warren. They both made the trip everything we had hoped."

Suzette Beck, Tijeras, NM- “The tour to Germany and Austria and the Christmas markets is an absolutely wonderful and beautiful trip. The tour gave us such a great view of Germany and Austria by going to beautiful castles, seeing Salzburg, the site of some of the Sound of Music filming, and of course plenty of shopping at the Christmas markets. Our accommodation in Germany were first rate in a small village which gave travelers a very homey feel and a personal touch. All of the tour guides were first rate and were experts in their geographic area. I've done nothing but rave about how great the tour since I returned from Germany."

Frieda Zuerner, Cypress, TX- “I traveled with Bonnie on the Christmas Market tour to Germany. I really enjoyed this trip. It surpassed my expectations by a long ways. I felt that the tour parts and the on your own time was nicely split. I think that we received great value for our money. It was great to have Bonnie along and loved her class on English paper piecing. I loved that the tour was flexible and allowed us to add a couple of side trips."

Patti Moffitt, Chula Vista, CA - “My trip to Germany, Austria and Bavaria with Craftours was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more! Each day was filled with lots of fun without feeling like you were running non-stop. I look forward to going on another trip with Craftours!"

Denise Corley, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA - “I went to Germany, Switzerland and Austria with Craftours a few years ago which was a dream of a lifetime. I can still remember how I felt looking at the Alps in Lucerne and thinking to myself how incredibly fortunate I was to be on this trip, with a wonderful group of women, a great tour leader and to be seeing one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen. I was a bit concerned to be traveling alone, but with Craftours, I met some great friends and felt totally safe and well cared for. I will undoubtedly travel again with Craftours. Thanks for a wonderful experience."

Gayle Shapiro, Philadelphia, PA- “My recent Craftours trip to Germany & Austria was wonderful; definitely exceeded expectations. A great and accommodating guide who made sure all of our needs were satisfied.But perhaps the biggest surprise was how much I enjoyed the interaction with all of the other travelers in our group.

This tour was a great opportunity to be introduced to this wonderful tradition and to see many of the best markets in the region."

Ann Torpey, Somerville, New Jersey - “The tour was very good and most interesting. The Salzburg market was much better than the Innsbruck one. By far the best was the Nuremberg market. It was all that it is advertised to be, even in the rain. Oberammergau was a highlight for me since I had been there to the 2010 Passion Play."

Holly Brown, Alexandria, Virginia - “The trip exceeded all my expectations. Ruhpolding was a delight. I could not have asked for a better place to stay and the people where so friendly and accommodating. The stops on the tour were very exciting. I had so much fun and already planning to go back."

After experiencing the Craftours Sound of Music tour, all I can say is ...WOW! I didn't want the tour to end! We had an incredible time, made all the better by such a great group of people, all with a common interest. This was our first Craftours but it definitely won't be our last.
