Alsace's Enchantment: Guided Village Tour from Colmar

Join us on a remarkable half-day journey through the picturesque villages of Alsace, accompanied by your knowledgeable English-speaking guide, a local expert passionate about the region’s history, culture, and wine.

Meet Your Guide and Depart from Colmar

Upon arrival at the central meeting point in Colmar, you’ll be greeted by your guide, easily identifiable by a sign displaying the tour name and the distinctive Ophorus logo. All our guides wear nominative badges for your convenience and safety.

After a brief overview of the day’s itinerary, board a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan equipped with an onboard P.A. system so everyone can enjoy clear and informative commentary along the way.

Immerse Yourself in Kaysersberg

Embark on your Alsace Villages tour along the scenic Alsace Wine Route and begin your adventure in Kaysersberg, a charming village crowned “Preferred Village of the French” in 2017. Nestled among vineyards and rolling hills, Kaysersberg combines medieval charm with traditional half-timbered houses and cobbled streets.

Enjoy a guided walking tour to discover its historic center, church, and remnants of the castle, then take some free time to wander at your own pace and capture photos of this postcard-perfect village.

Follow the Scenic Alsace Wine Route

Continue your journey along the world-famous Alsace Wine Route, which stretches for more than 170 kilometers through vineyards and storybook villages. Along the way, admire panoramic views, castle ruins perched on hilltops, and rows of vines producing renowned Alsace varietals such as Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer.

There are many opportunities for photo stops as you travel between villages, showcasing the patchwork of vineyards, villages, and surrounding Vosges foothills.

Explore the Magnificent Gem of Riquewihr

Arrive in Riquewihr, a breathtaking small town enclosed within fortified walls. Remarkably well preserved, this village showcases 16th-century splendor with its narrow streets, defensive towers, and beautifully decorated half-timbered houses.

Stroll through the historic lanes, enjoy the colorful façades and shopfronts, and soak in the unique blend of winegrowing tradition and medieval architecture that has made Riquewihr one of the most famous villages in Alsace.

Conclude Your Journey in Hunawihr

Your final stop is Hunawihr, listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France.” This peaceful village is known for its 16th-century houses, fortified church, and cemetery perched above the vineyards, offering wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.

Walk through the village to admire its Renaissance Town Hall, traditional architecture, and serene atmosphere that reflects the timeless heritage of rural Alsace.

Return to Colmar

After your visit to Hunawihr, relax on the drive back to Colmar. Your half-day tour concludes at the original departure point, leaving you with lasting memories of Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, Hunawihr, and the iconic Alsace Wine Route.

Uncover the timeless allure of Alsace’s villages on this unforgettable small-group tour from Colmar—book now to secure your spot.

    Ian Paterson 21, Jul 2023 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.

    Gabriela Remes Hernandez 10, Jun 2023 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!

    Janette D. 26, Sep 2022 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!

    MariMatkustaja 28, Oct 2019 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.
