Oberammergau Tours
Every ten years, thousands of people from across the globe flock to the Bavarian village of Oberammergau to witness the spectacle of the world-famous
Oberammergau Passion Play. Involving a live orchestra and a cast of some 2,000 villagers who have devoted a year of their lives to preparing for it, the Passion Play originated in 1634, when at the height of the bubonic Plague a year earlier, villagers took a vow to re-enact the life and death of Christ every ten years if God spared their lives.
The villagers have stayed true to their word every decade to this day, and on Oberammergau tours this year you too could witness this unforgettable, moving spectacle. As well as including sought-after seats at the world-famous Passion Play, our 2010 Oberammergau coach trips include scenic excursions allowing you to take in picturesque European destinations, from the
