      The town of Colmar and the villages are beautiful at Christmas time, and the castle is
      awesome. I would recommend the tour.

      Very impressed with the places visited, Colmar and other small villages, and then the amazing Castle later in the day. Lots of excellent information from our tour guide Carlos, regarding history of the places and areas we visited, (and also he was lots of fun) a thoroughly enjoyable day, and would highly recommend. There was even time enough to enjoy a lovely sit down lunch as well.

      I loved this tour! It was worth taking a day excursion to see Colmar, Riquewihr, and Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg. I especially loved these enchanting towns that Beauty and the Beast is based off. The food is great, and it’s a lot of walking so don’t feel bad if you eat a lot that day! The tour guide was friendly and also allowed us to have some free time and explore.

      Very well planned itinerary, friendly knowledgeable guide (Laurent) with great sense of humour, good pace & no time wasted yet no pressure. Good balance of guided walks and free time to enjoy the beautiful sights leisurely. (+ travelling in a mini bus with air con made the trip very comfortable as the day was extremely hot!) We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with limited time to discover Alsace.

      We spent the day with Roxanne, our tour guide, and a small group of eight people. From beginning to end, Roxanne did a great job at not only providing the interesting history of the region, but as a local herself, she injected the tour with her own personal anecdotes and insights. The places you visit are stunning, and you really get bang for your buck, hitting up some truly iconic sights. A must do when in Strasbourg!
