Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival

Day 2: The Elves and Santa Claus

Let the miracles start! Surprise visit by the Elves and you're taken out by their magic sleigh, to meet Santa Claus deep in his hideaway place in the depth of secret forest, where only a few can reach and only with the help of Elf Magic. You travel there by a reindeer sleigh. On the way, Elves has got a lot to tell you about their hidden life in the modern world, about their post system and about their full time work as Santa's ambassadors. Suddenly, you see a smoke between snow-covered trees. What is it?

Day 2: Private meeting with Santa

The elf will walk you through a hardly seen trail in a forest and here you are, shaking hands with Santa Claus himself. Kids will learn a lot, and adults will recollect how was it, to be a kid when you get presents from Santa who knew exactly what you all were hoping to get this year!

Day 2: The Elves

Take you lunch back home, chef will be delighted to cook it for the dinner. Train your kids how to build snow castle and practice marksmanship in a snowball game. Or, just take some time for yourself and walk in a secluded winter forest before dinner.

Fue una muy buena experiencia, cumplieron bien con lo que ofrecieron y siempre estuvieron muy atentos a mis mensajes y necesidades. Seguro que volvere a contactar un viaje con World of Discoverys y recomendare a mis amigos para sus siguientes viajes.

Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix with Wofdi – Incredible Trip! The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez was an unforgettable experience, with an electric crowd and an amazing race. The Foro Sol section felt like a huge party! Beyond F1, Wofdi made the trip special. We took a hot air balloon over the Teotihuacán Pyramids at sunrise, followed by tequila tasting – an absolute highlight! Our hotel was a pleasant surprise – ultra-modern, in the best area, near the Marquis and Chapultepec Castle, with a huge rooftop bar and a fantastic restaurant. This trip changed my view of Mexico City completely! Wofdi planned everything perfectly, making this the ultimate F1 adventure. Highly recommended!

Qatar World Cup experience was awesome, I travelled in 2018 with Varya and the team with my dad, this time around took my cousin and both times the team went above and beyond expectations. Thank you to the World of Discoveries team. Looking forward to USA, Mexico, Canada or even potentially Asian Cup in Qatar.

WOD is a company you can trust and feel comfortable asking for anything to make your experience better. I just traveled to the 2022 World Cup with them and it was a blast. Everything nicely coordinated and great constant service and communication.

We have just attended the Opening of Euro Cup 2024 in Munich and WofDi has given us a blast! Opted for an organized trip due to limited time we could spend in Germany and wanted to have it all arranged for us – accommodation, game tickets, transportation. WofDi polished the standard travel package with an awesome welcome party. Private lounge for our group in the famous Hofbräuhaus included great meals eat-all-you-can (and then eat more), unlimited bear (really unlimited), very good selection of wine, entertainment program and truly amazing hosts on site. With such a fantastic start, our experience continues with seamless transfers to/from the venue. 5-1 Germany vs Scotland as boring as never was the only thing which spoiled the night. Sadly, that was beyond WofDi’s control. Thank you for everything and looking forward to experience FIFA World Cup 2026 with you, guys.
