Exclusive Alpine Adventures
Since 1995, we've been revealing the true heart of Europe. We pioneered Christmas Market Tours, guiding thousands of delighted guests through countless festive markets over the decades. Our groups are small and intimate, and that’s why our tours fill up fast. As the owner of VIP Alpine Tours, Christina Ernst personally leads each adventure, sharing her favorite stories and ensuring you feel like a true VIP. We offer not only personalized tours but also exclusive opportunities with small ship ocean and river cruises and other tour products. Whether in Europe or beyond, we’ve taken groups as far as Antarctica, the Arctic, and Cambodia. And there's more to come in 2026—stay tuned.
