Our guide, Martina, was very professional and knowledgeable. She told us about the history of the market, how things came to be, and how some things are still continued to this day. The food and drink options were delicious! We saw many unique items that we hadn't seen at other Christmas Markets within other German cities. We would recommend this tour!
