We enjoyed a half day tour with Thierry. The villages are beautiful and their history is very important to learn. Theirry was kind, funny and an enjoyable guide. He has lived in Alsace his entire life and knew the area inside and out, including some of the best ways to reach the gems of Alsace. I recommend this tour if you want to see some of Alsace and have limited time during your stay.

Wonderful tour of Alsace villages. 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!

We had a wonderful private day trip with Jerome touring the Pearls of Alsace.

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!

We were lucky to have Jerome as our guide in the Pearl of Alsace day tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about the details of the Alsace culture and architecture, and was willing to fulfill our wishes of getting a good shot of the Alsace region despite it already being late. I’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the region in an expedited fashion without worrying about public transport. Five stars.

Fantastic full day tour in Alsace
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

Great day out in Alsace
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. She really made the day very special. All three towns are amazing and so beautiful.

Excelente escolha
A viagem em si já é fantástica. Cidadezinhas com um charme todo especial, melhor ainda se você puder contar com o acompanhamento do guia Olivier, que além de um excelente contador de histórias, pessoa polida e agradável é, de origem, sommelier e, portanto fala com muita propriedade acerca dos vinhos típicos da região . Recomendo!!

Excellent tour; well worth the time and $.
Our stops were wonderful, but our guide (Oliver) really made the trip. He was pleasant, courteous, had very good english, and really knew his history. We very much enjoyed the lesson of the Alsace region, the history behind the towns and vineyards, and of course there was the castle... We will do another tour (probably wine-tasting) with your firm next time!
