A Bavarian New Year's Eve

Day 1

Today we begin our New Year's Eve journey to Frankenmuth, MI. Enroute we will stop in Akron, OH for a tour of Stan Hywet Hall. Hywet Hall will be decorated for their "Deck the Hall" holiday event, featuring millions of holiday lights! We will then continue to the Cleveland area for our overnight accommodations at the Drury Inn Beachwood, OH. The Kickback Dinner will be available at the hotel from 5:30 - 7:00 PM for those who wish to partake.

Day 2

This morning we will travel to the quaint Bavarian village of Frankenmuth, MI. Upon arrival, you will be free to explore the Frankenmuth River Place Shops. Afterward, we will visit the famous Bronner's Christmas Shop, where thousands of decorations, ornaments, lights, and their huge selection of nativity scenes are displayed. We will check-in to the Bavarian Inn Lodge, our lodging for the next two nights. Dinner will be included at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant. This evening we will visit Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad. We'll board the decorated locomotive for a ride along the shores of Mott Lake, down a stretch of the historic Pere Marquette roadbed, and back into the heart of Crossroads Village. Keep an eye out for trackside displays! After we disembark the locomotive, there will be some free time to take in the century-old village while interpretive craftsmen give meaning to the things visitors see and the life & times of the post-Civil War era in Genesee County.

Day 3

We begin our day with a guided driving tour of Frankenmuth while a local guide shows us the highlights of the city. The remainder of the day will be at your leisure. This evening will include a City Lights tour and a New Year's Eve Gala at the Lodge. Ring in the New Year at the Bavarian Inn Lodge's Gala Celebration! The Gala includes dinner, live entertainment, party favors, and a champagne toast at midnight. A cash bar will be available. You must be 21+ to attend the New Year's Adult Gala.

Tips for Perkiomen motorcoach drivers and tour escorts are not included in the price of this tour. We feel that these gratuities should be extended on an individual basis and dictated by the level of service provided.

Motorcoach seating is assigned at the time of reservation but cannot be guaranteed. Although we do our best to keep each traveler in the seat assigned at the time of reservation, there are times that it is necessary to move seat locations.

We have suspended this practice for a period of time. Seat rotation will be explained by your driver or tour escort if reinstated.
