The Alps were amazing. The towns we visited had great food, unique shops, and lots of fun. I loved shopping the various Christmas Marts. Defined Destinations again topped all of my expectations. I can't wait for the next trip!

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.

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.

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.
