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.

If you have any questions about our ABTA membership or the financial protection provided under our ATOL, please don't hesitate to call us on 020 7290 1104.

Aachen Christmas Market

The Aachen Christmas market is set amidst the city's famous gothic cathedral and old town hall. With its many lovingly decorated stalls, the Christmas Village on the main market square leaves nothing to be desired for Christmas shoppers.

During Advent, the air hangs heavy with the scent of cinnamon and baked apples. Punch and chestnut stands draw customers in with their seasonal treats and stall holders attract passers-by who stop to admire their traditional handicrafts.

Aachen Christmas Market

Visitors to the Aachen Christmas market should try the city's famous 'Printen' gingerbread cookies. The charming atmosphere of Aachen and in particular its Christmas markets evoke memories of bygone days, away from the commercialism of the modern day festivities.

The Christmas market in Aachen is Germany's nearest Christmas market to the UK, making the destination suitable for weekend breaks and day trips. Many visitors from the region including those on nearby Cologne city breaks visit the markets during the festive period to experience the Christmas celebrations.
