My trip to the European Christmas markets of Germany and Austria was picturesque.
Defined Destinations is great to travel with, and both times I’ve booked, my trips were fantastic!
They truly go above and beyond, and I’m hopeful to travel with them again

Joi, thank you for taking the time to share this. We are really grateful you chose to travel with us again, and it means a lot to hear the Christmas Markets trip was such a great experience. We loved having you with us and would be thrilled to travel with you anytime in the future.

We had a great time. Beautiful spots. My only suggestion would be to have alternative options for those with mobility issues. While this didn’t impact me personally, I know some folks struggled with hills and stairs and walking back to the hotel in the rain. I would have enjoyed more historic spots as well.
By Ann H for Christmastime in Austria & Germany on Dec 17, 2025
Thank you for sharing this. I’m really glad you had a great time, and I appreciate you pointing out the challenges some guests had with mobility. That’s helpful for us to hear, and we’ll look at adding easier options when the terrain or weather makes things tougher. I also hear you on wanting more historic stops, that’s great feedback and something we can work into future versions of the trip.
Thanks again for traveling with us and for taking the time to help us improve.

Geri, Five trips means the world to us, and we’re truly grateful for your trust and loyalty. We’re glad to hear the guides and experiences stood out—our team works hard on those details. We can’t wait to welcome you on trip number six whenever you’re ready!

I had a great time, the group was fantastic. My second trip with DD and with Dawn who it fantastic! I guess my only suggestion would be about the Seine boat ride, I would recommend that the group not be put in the center of the boat which was on a raised platform, you could not really see much from that area in a covered boat. I would have like to been seated near the windows on either side of the boat. Still a 5 star trip!

We are really glad to hear you had such a great time with the group. It means a lot that this was your second trip with us, and we agree that Dawn is fantastic.
We appreciate your note about the Seine cruise. Feedback like this helps us understand what worked well and where the experience could be improved for future groups.
Thanks again for the five-star review and for traveling with us. We’d love to have you join us again on another adventure.

My husband and I just completed our first trip with Defined Destinations. We went to Ireland and every detail was planned out and thought of. We just got to show up with our luggage and have a trip of a lifetime! Dawn was our tour guide that traveled with our group and did an amazing job. Truly an amazing experience for us. We will definitely be using Defined Destinations for our future travels abroad.
