Additional information

This tour is ideal for curious adults who want a full, but relaxed, day discovering Alsace’s villages, wines and castles with a local expert rather than on a big bus. It’s especially suited to couples, small groups of friends, and first‑time visitors based in Strasbourg who enjoy walking cobbled streets, visiting historic sites like Haut‑Koenigsbourg, and tasting Alsace wines along the route. Travelers should have good basic mobility, since there are slopes, stairs and uneven surfaces in Colmar, Riquewihr and at the castle.

My mom said this was THE highlight of our trip through France, and that's after the museums of Paris, the Chartres cathedral, and lovely streets of Strasbourg. Our guide Myriam provided the perfect balance of information and guided sightseeing, along with quiet and time for exploration on our own. She also stopped in a lesser known village as a bonus and brought us to a few hilltops for panamoras. I highly recommend this trip!

Jerome arrived at our hotel early and was a great driver and tour guide. He was just the right mix of professional yet friendly. He had lots of interesting information at each stop. It was wonderful to have someone point out details about the villages and building that we would not know on our own.

Jerome did a great job of setting a comfortable pace to walk and never made us feel hurried. He was very collaborative and did a good job of discussing with us the plans for the day and checking in with us at several points in the day to make sure it worked for us and we were enjoying the trip.

Because he knew we had already visited Riquewihr, Jerome took us there for our wine tasting (which was wonderful) and then toured us through Kayersburg.

I especially liked that Jerome would park the van at one end of the village and then tour us through the village. When done, he gave us time on our own while he walked back to get the van and picked us up. That very very thoughtful and really helped as it was a lot of walking on a very hot day.

We were also very impressed that Jerome had taken the time to contact our hotel so he could find out how to drop us in front of our hotel at the end of the tour as we are in a pedestrian area (which required he get the right codes to access the area). This worked well and it speaks to the professionalism and care to deliver us to our hotel door.

Overall, a fantastic day with a great guide. This was definitely one of the best tours we’ve taken due to the way the tour was organized and Jerome. Thank you!

This day trip is entertaining, educational, and visually stunning. Every aspect of this experience was highly professional. Their staff is extremely responsive, helpful, respectful and courteous. Our tour guide, Arianne, arrived just before our scheduled pick up time, and her charm and knowledge were immediately apparent. She gave us a phenomenal tour, telling us not only about the beautiful villages of this picturesque region, but also about the culture, food, wine, and people of the area. She gave her commentary in flawless english. We absolutely loved her tour. The time allotted for the tour was appropriate, and we never once felt rushed, although we could easily have spent hours in each town, despite the December cold. Her recommendations for restaurant choices and use of free time were perfect. You'll be able to fill an entire album with the photos you take on this tour alone! Th

Florence was an amazing guide. She had a great pace of delivery in her interesting information (French and English), she never seemed to rush us anywhere, there was always time for photos and time built into the program for a coffee break and lunch.
