The price of each tour will go up by 10% on May 1st. This is to offset the increased cost of booking hotels & tours closer to departure. We work hard to secure the nicest hotels at the lowest available price by negotiating directly with the hotels early on so book as soon as possible!

At registration you will be able to indicate how you’d like to pay. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and more. If you need to pay via Venmo, Check, Zelle, or Cash then reach out to Melissa via the contact form to register and pay with these alternate methods.

All payment are non-refundable so we recommend getting personal travel insurance incase you aren’t able to make it for any reason. The spots on the trip are transferrable though so if you are able to find someone else to take your spot we are happy to have them! (But we’ll miss you!)

Yes! Absolutely! And you are welcome to either arrange your own transportation between tours or join Melissa on the bus from Strasbourg to Munich for free.

Yes! Absolutely! You’ve come all this way… why not!? Come early and get adjusted to the time change or stay a few days longer on the back end!

No, you will need to be physically fit enough to manage your bags as we travel. This includes up and down stairs at hotels & down cobblestoned streets so we suggest you pack light (we’ll send out tips for this as the trip approaches) and choose luggage with sturdy wheels. 

Not usually, but it never hurts to ask! In the past our travelers have found that they are able to find DHL or FedEx locations nearby to ship bulky or fragile items home. It doesn’t hurt to bring an empty bag if you know you want to do a lot of shopping!

Yes! We will be staying at 4+ star, hand picked botique hotels, very central to the markets. So if you feel like taking a break from shopping or want to drop off your purchases you can do so easily!

Nope! You can have a room to yourself if you wish! Just select ‘Single Room’ and pay the supplemental fee at checkout.

Yes! Let us know who you want to room with when you register. If you are coming alone & don’t know anyone else on the trip & want to share a room you will be assigned a roommate of the same sex. All beds in shared rooms are twins. 

All hotel rooms & city taxes are included in the price of the trip. If you wish to take advantage of extra hotel services such as but not limited to, laundry, spa services, room service, mini bar, etc then that is at your own expense.

Contact us at ElevatedTravelAdventures@gmail.com or let us know at registration and we will see about making adjustments to the reservations to accommodate your request. *This may increase the price for each person as the bigger rooms that hold more people are usually suites.

Yes! I am happy to help book your flights for an additonal fee of $100 per person. I will help you to search for the best times & fares, book award travel & suggest the best seat assignments and request special meals if required.

Nope! It will be first come, first served. Our time on the bus is a great time to take a nap or make new friends. There will be some empty seats for you to move around to if you find your seat isn’t suitable for any reason.

You will be given clear instructions on how to get to the first hotel where the tour will start. After that I will either be personally leading you or you will be given a custom google map to direct you between Christmas Markets. The best thing about these trips is you get to turn off your brain and just enjoy! No need to worry, I got you!

Any traveling done outside of the planned group travel or during free time is at your own expense.
