New Oberammergau website in English

The next season of the Oberammergau Passion Play is approaching and the German National Tourist Office has just launched an exciting new website all about the play.

The website lists the tour operators who are operating tours there (yes we are listed!) as well as useful maps and information about the cast and play.

You might also like to watch the short video "Oberammergau - 4 Centuries of Faith" that's on the site.

We do have space on some of our tours, so if you've not got your brochure yet, either visit http://www.reformationtours.com/ or call us at 1-800-303-5534 and we'll be happy to chat with you.

Our quality Christian tours combine seeing the Passion Play with visiting Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and the Czech Republic.

Oberammergau Tickets are in!

We are delighted to announce that we have our first installment of Oberammergau Tickets for the Passion Play in 2010. If you are still interested in taking a group, give us a call at 1-800-303-5534 and I will let you know the dates I have available.

We have two categories of tickets:

Category 3: Seating in area 1

Category 4: Seating in area 2

Category 3 tickets come with 4 star quality rooms and Category 4 tickets come with 3 star quality rooms.

We also have a number of tours that have room for individuals, families and small groups to join and I'll be posting the details this week. In the meantime, visit our website http://www.reformationtours.com/.

When will the Oberammergau Tickets be confirmed?

The Oberammergau Passion Play is only performed once a decade, so 2010 will be a very special summer for the small town nestled in the Bavarian Alps. The play is extremely popular, so the tickets are in high demand. All the tour operators (including us) have put their ticket requests in and the Oberammergau committee is working on assigning the tickets. It's taking much longer than expected this year (it's a tough job!) and it will probably be the middle of June before we have firm confirmation of tickets.

The good news is that there is extra time to build your group or join one of ours! We have a wide selection of tours featuring the play, in conjunction with tours to Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. We can also arrange a custom tour for your group, as long as you can be flexible with dates.

Thinking about an Oberammergau tour in 2010?

Although 2010 seems like a long time away, if you are thinking of attending the Oberammergau Passion Play, now is the time to be gathering your group.

Every ten years, this picturesque Bavarian town puts on a spectacular passion play with a cast entirely from the town. For more about the play, click here to read our webpage.

In order to accomodate the literally thousands of people from all over the world who want to attend the play, the town sells tickets that also include 2 nights accomodations, 5 meals (2 x breakfast, 1 x lunch and 2 x dinner). These tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Demand is extremely high and so groups need to gather their group as soon as possible, so they can get seats.

How can we help? We have designed a number of tours for 2010 that feature the Oberammergau Play and there's still space available. Call us today at 1-800-303-5534 or fill out our Oberammergau tour questionnaire. Our tours include the Passion Play with options to visit surrounding countries, such as Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Italy. We are also able to provide fellowship opportunities, both with fellow travellers and local believers.
