This tour was extremely popular in 2016 and 2017 and sold out early ... we decided to offer it again for those who missed it, for those who had so much fun they wanted to do it again, and for those who just found out about it!  Spend the day exploring this unique Christkindlmarkt, a German Heritage Market, voted as a Top 100 Event in North America by the American Bus Association.  This market place operates in one large indoor location but does offer several smaller sites that are accessible by a free trolley.
