If you are a Krampus enthusiast, this trip is a MUST! Jake is the best guide and host, with insider knowledge and a refreshing commitment to hospitality. He will fill you in on all the history you need to understand what you're experiencing. He knows how to plan a day and pivot when circumstances change, all while exhibiting a tremendous sense of humor. Our two night trip to Salzburg and Berchtesgaden is just about the only way to see two different Krampus experiences in two different countries in two days. This was a once-in-a-lifetime event that was perfect in every way--even though we ended up getting whipped by a Krampus and separated from our tour group for 90 minutes. After a couple of beers--all was well and boy did we have a story to tell. From the Krampus lair in the hills of the German Alps to a strudel-making class in a Salzburg cave, this tour is perfect for lovers of history, culture, art, food, beer, and folklore.

This truly is an event not to be missed! Designed for those looking for a true, in-depth look at Krampus, I suggest you go into this adventure bravely, because it is not meant for the faint-at-heart. That being said, I cannot praise ALL THINGS GARMISCH enough! A detailed tour though the city, giving the rich histories of the town was well constructed, but that was only the beginning. When the Krampus parades hit, all chaos breaks out....and my group LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Fantastic voyage into fear and adrenaline. Truly, for all you adventure seekers out there.....THIS is the vacation you must book, ASAP!! Cliff Rhodes
