      Had an enjoyable half-day tour to some Alsace villages around Colmar...Kaysersberg, Hunawihr & Riquewihr. The tour was well organised and very informative. There was the right combination of being guided and free time. A recommended way to see places that are not very accessible withoit your own car.

      Muy bonito. La guía muy amable, accesible, bien documentada y simpática. Quizá le agregaría por lo menos media hora mas para disfrutar un poquito mas la última villa que se visita, que es Riquewihr. De ahí en fuera toda la información proporcionada por la guía nos dejó con muchas ganas de volver. Lo disfrutamos mucho!

      We booked a tour of two lovely towns outside of Colmar on our recent vacation in Alsace. Surprisingly, only my husband and I were booked this time and so we had a very private tour with Amelie, our guide! She was amazingly knowledgeable about the area's history and the towns we visited in particular. As she also gives wine tours, we learned much about the cultivation and production of the fine wines of the region. Amelie gave us some time at the second town to explore on our own where we had the chance to enjoy some of that great wine! Lastly, she drove us through other parts of the countryside to see some amazing vies of the hills and other small towns along the way. It was an exceptional tour!

      Mainio opas, kauniita kyliä
      Opas oli siitä poikkeuksellinen, että hän jaksoi selittää ja näyttää kiinnostavia asioita, monasti oppaat mieluummin vaikenevat. Pari kylää käytiin pikana autossa istuen ja parissa oli reilu tunti aikaa tutustua. Ihania. Kylät olivat todella lähellä Colmaria. Retkikuvauksessa luvattiin vesipullo, mutta sitä ei saatu. Opas-kuski ystävällisesti palautti osallistujat hotelleihin. Retkeen meni meidän osalta 3,5 h. Kiva kierros. Alueen isommat kaupungit voisi hyvin jättää matkallaan väliin ja nauttia vain näistä pienistä kylistä.
