In older times, light ? represented by candles – was an important symbol of life and safety for the miners, working in the dark tunnels to retrieve the ore and coal. The woodcarvers combined their deep religious beliefs and used candles to illuminate the pyramids with saints and symbols from the holy night including ox, mule and shepherds. In Schneeberg, view St. Wolfgang-church with its altar from 1539, carved by Lucas Cranach. In the afternoon you’ll continue towards Plauen, a city famous for its handcrafted lace. Plauen was founded in the 11th century and since the 16 hundreds remains an important place for cotton manufacturing. A farewell-Dinner will be served in your hotel.

Overnight: Hotel Alexandra or similar

Day 4: Plauen – Bamberg – Frankfurt (B)

On the last day of the tour you’ll travel through the Franconian forest to the imperial city of Bamberg.

Vegetarian meal option available
Lunch included
Conducted in English

Spend the day in the Swiss mountains on a day trip from Geneva to Chamonix, one of Switzerland’s most famous villages. You’ll drive through the mountains, take a trip in a cable car to Aiguille du Midi for breathtaking views of Mont-Blanc and the surrounding Alps and board the charming red train to Montenvers.

Your mountain excursion begins with an unforgettable 90-minute drive through the picturesque Arve Valley from Geneva to Chamonix, at the foot of majestic Mont-Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps and Western Europe (15,770 feet/4,800 meters).

Continuing to Aiguille du Midi, a rocky peak close to Mont Blanc with snow year-round, you’ll reach the summit in just 20 minutes by a two-stage cable car. The panoramic views of the Chamonix Valley and the French, Swiss and Italian Alps are spectacular! In the direction of the Swiss Alps, on a clear day it’s also possible to see the Mattherhorn, Toblerone chocolate’s famous trademark mountain. There are many terraces and balconies up at the Aiguille du Midi where you can enjoy views of the magnificent mountain ranges and watch skiers zooming down towards the glacier. There’s also a cafe at the summit where you can have a hot chocolate and perhaps enjoy a light snack (at own expense).

After lunch in the village of Chamonix (included in the tour price), you’ll take the comfortable electric railway to Montenvers, a vantage point with fine views of the Mer de Glace. This magnificent glacier is four miles (seven kilometers) long and averages just under a mile wide. You’ll be riding the charming little red train that has been transferring passengers to the Montenvers site and the world-famous Mer de Glace glacier since 1908. Surrounded by the impressive summits of Les Drus, Les Grandes Jorasses and Les Grands Charmoz, the Montenvers site is the perfect place to learn about the largest French glacier and about nature in the Alps.

Christmas and Winter Breaks

The Carolina Opry Christmas Special

BOOK THIS TOUR – CLICK HERE!

Duration: 2 Hours 30 Minutes

Location: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

From GBP £27.83

In December of 1986, Calvin Gilmore was just completing his first season of shows on the Grand Strand. While The Carolina Opry had enjoyed an amazing and immediate success in its original location in Surfside Beach, Gilmore had cautiously planned only one weekend of Christmas performances.

Five shows were scheduled for three days. When by mid-November those shows were sold out, Gilmore added a second weekend of five shows. When those were gone, he added the weekdays between the weekends. Every performance sold out. The rest, as they say, is history. The Carolina Opry has remained the most attended and most loved Christmas Special in the Southeast.

The Carolina Opry Christmas Special offers an unparalleled celebration of America’s most loved holiday, a heart-warming, funny, and dazzling family tradition that just gets better and better. Now in its 16th year, the Christmas Special (which has been featured on NBC and in USA Today) combines the traditional music of the season with Yuletide comedy for an evening of holiday entertainment you’ll long remember. Performed November and December by a cast of 34, in the palatial 2,200-seat Carolina Opry theater.

While The Carolina Opry breaks new ground each Christmas, there are some things that audiences count on enjoying year after year. Among these is Gilmore’s ‘Beautiful Star of Bethlehem’, which has been a fixture in the show since 1986, and ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’, a full-cast free-for-all which features Bogie acting out all the parts for twelve consecutive verses. And never to be forgotten is the emotional impact of the shows finale: Rita Gumm performing ‘He’s Alive’.

Featured on NBC and in USA Today:

‘It’s music, it’s laughter, it’s dance – it’s Christmas!’

‘Fabulous costuming and dazzling lighting’

This show is seasonal and only operates from November through to early January. To book Click here!
