Don't do this on the weekend if at all possible. The crowds were terrible but the tour was very informative.
I enjoyed the tour and thought it was cool to see some of the nativity scenes and the church. However, you might want to rename the tour, because although we start and end at the Christmas market, it's not actually a tour of them and that can be misleading if you think you are going to spend a lot of time in the markets.
