    Fun in the German market

    We had a great time learning about the German market's history. And the weather permitted a great enjoyable experience.

    Lacklustre

    We were looking forward to this tour & it was a big disappointment. The guide was late & then she waited for a group that was late & standing around waiting in very cold weather when we were there 10 minutes before, as directed, wasn’t pleasant. The guide told us about the character she was portraying ( a fils de roi ) but didn’t stay in character much. She didn’t pay much attention to the group as a whole, but did spend quite a bit of time talking to individuals so again we ended up standing around. The 3 samples we tried were stollen, glühwein & a pretzel. We enviously eyed the fondue, sausages & chocolate. We learned a bit about the market but the food & the guide were lacklustre. We had 2 other tours with this company that we did enjoy.

    Fun and Festive Tour

    We loved this tour. Our tour guide was so friendly, fun and knowledgeable. We loved her spirit and joy as she told us the history about the market and the food. It was a festive and fun experience that went by too fast. We made a new friend and she made our trip to Quebec City memorable.

    Don’t Waste Your Money

    Definitely not worth it. The “food tasting” consisted of a dry piece of fruitcake-like bread, two ounces of mulled wine and a not-so-exotic soft pretzel. The tour was nothing we couldn’t have done on our own just walking around the market. Very disappointing.

    An adventure…and a learning experience about the Christmas Market

    I came over from Lévis and was late…a woman at the tour office knew the route they take…found my group!! It was fun learning about the meanings of the decorations. Having mulled wine and a pretzel so nice in the cold!!

    German Christmas Market Tasting Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.

    How much does German Christmas Market Tasting Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quebec City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does German Christmas Market Tasting Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quebec City is not rushed.

    Is German Christmas Market Tasting Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quebec City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule German Christmas Market Tasting Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is German Christmas Market Tasting Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book German Christmas Market Tasting Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quebec City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quebec City and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does German Christmas Market Tasting Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quebec City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Quebec City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quebec City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular, Uncover Old Quebec: Fun Walking Tour with a guide-Gratuity based, Quebec City Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Quebec City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Quebec City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
