Tour Reviews for Christmas and New Year Tours
Tour manager and driver went above and beyond to ensure everyone enjoyed themselves. All meals were excellent. Very good balance between group activities and free time. An extremely good and memorable Christmas.

My wife and I travel once or twice a year internationally and tours come and tours go. With most tours there are difficulties - pickups that do not arrive, travel claims, hotels that do not meet expectation on what was advertised, tours that were overpriced for what was provided, etc.
I am not one to pass on a slap on the back without due cause - I believe if you have a job to do, then do it. However, I must pass on my congratulations to Albatross on our recent Swiss New Year break at the Hotel Oberland in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. As this was an unescorted tour, you instructions were easy to read and follow. I now know the Swiss rail system is on time and frequent but when I first arrived this was unknown so the timetables you provided were of great assistance. The staff at the Hotel Oberland were very friendly and of great assistance when required. I had a broken arm during this visit and on checkout there was no problem, if fact it was offered, to take our luggage to the station.
This is the second Albatross tour that we have undertaken; the first was Gallipoli and Ancient Civilizations (don't know if this is the correct name) in April 2006 which was perfect in organisation, timing, guide interaction (he was good), etc.
With all honesty I can say you understand how to deliver. Please keep up the good work as a travel provider.

The German Christmas Break tour was great, relaxing with plenty of snow and it even snowed on Christmas Day.
We enjoyed the tour very much and hope to visit that area again.
Our tour leader was great and continually asked everyone if everything was OK and she could help and even joined in the festivities singing along with everyone, it was great.
Many thanks again, we will now look at the next trip.

I have just returned from the ‘Fairytale White Christmas’ in Bavaria and ‘New Year in Austria’ and I have to tell you its one of the best that I have had.
I though the value for money for just excellent. The hotels were superb the food so delicious. The daily trips were so different. I had not been to Germany or Austria before this trip. I loved the castle, the markets, the sleigh rides and the cable cars to the top of the mountains we had lots of snow!
I look forward to repeating this holiday again, it was a spectacular and wonderful experience and I will happily travel with Albatross again.

Both Col and I have been totally impressed with the tour. Our tour guide and driver were outstanding. The hotels and meals were great. We would recommend the Austrian White Christmas tour and Albatross to everyone.

Abundant snow, beautiful scenery, breathtaking memories. Our children were treated well throughout the tour. Lovely friendly staff. A truly wonderful experience! I will never forget.

I found the Italian Castle Christmas tour very well paced. Good balance of organized sightseeing and free time. Also like the fact that everything was paid for before – no optionals or extras to pay on tour.

New Year in Bavaria Tour: It was very good not to move every day staying more than one night in any one place. On the whole an excellent trip!

The Christmas in an Italian Castle tour very well researched itinerary which encapsulates the essential elements of a great European Christmas culminating in the superb CastelBrando which favoured us with a Christmas Day snowfall – the ultimate delight which provided days of picture perfect white scenery – I would and will do it all again.
