Why you're safe with the holiday experts

DERTOUR is part of the DERTOUR GmbH group of Frankfurt - one of the world's leading tour operators . We also hold our own ATOL and are members of ABTA.

We've been creating perfect tailor-made holidays to the heart of Europe for 50 years. A lot has changed in that time, but one thing that has always remained the same is our total focus on serving you in the very best way that we can. This includes ensuring your satisfaction and security. It's why DERTOUR is fully licenced with our own ATOL and is also adheres to all the rules and principles of ABTA.

ATOL is a financial protection scheme for holidaymakers travelling on an air inclusive holiday, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority. This protects you from losing your money or from being stranded overseas in the very unlikely event that DERTOUR should go out of business. Our Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) number is ATOL 1839.

When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our ATOL.

* The air inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing either the person who pays for the booking is present in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

ABTA was created in 1950 by 22 leading travel companies. It now represents over 5,000 travel agencies and more than 900 tour operators, right across the British Isles. ABTA helps to maintain the highest standards of trading practice for the travel industry and its customers. The ABTA logo is a sign that you can expect choice, value and high levels of service from DERTOUR.

DERTOUR is also fully committed to always try to provide an alternative holiday or route in times of disruption that is out of our control, such as in the event of volcanic ash, disruption to air travel due to heavy snowfall or an airline strike grounding aircraft.

Düsseldorf Christmas Market 2012

The Düsseldorf Christmas markets 2012 are some of the most atmospheric in Germany. The six markets are located on picturesque squares and along romantically lit streets. The markets' 250 glittering stalls invite visitors to a romantic fairyland, each telling a small winter tale of their own. On Marktplatz, metal artists, glass blowers and wood carvers present their craft to passers-by. The stalls along Flinger Strasse are decorated in the style of the street's ancient town houses.

Düsseldorf Christmas Market

The Düsseldorf Christmas Market is an event full of excitement for all the family. The attractions include an outdoor ice rink and fun fair, providing visitors with the opportunity to burn off all of the cakes and mulled wine that have been consumed through the day.

The art-nouveau inspired 'Angel's market' at Heinrich-Heine-Platz boasts its own unique charm and a festive programme is staged at Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz which are both popular attractions with visitors. The decorated fir and spruce branches and the impressive winter landscape at the Christmas market are both wonderful festive highlights. There are many Düsseldorf city breaks available making it easy to travel in and around the city.
