It would have made more sense to run...

Pam A, Jan 2017
It would have made more sense to run the tours while the markets were opened, still it was an interesting fact finding walk. Started way too late for winter time. I actually went back to the markets the next day to see them in action Was I thought a bit expensive for what I got

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Christmas markets tour..no single supplement nor Christmas supplement..the Christmas night markets true are not as robust as the day markets, but isn`t it lovely to be able to stop for hot chestnuts or some mulled wine within architecturally lovely precincts. To be fair the markets were moderately active and open. Not all the traders participate in late night Christmas market events. I remember you Pam..from Australia. Didn`t tip!
