It was an 8-hour activity. We left (on time) from Strasbourg toward Colmar, then Eguisheim, Riquewihr, and finally a visit to the Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle. We had time to ourselves for taking pictures, shopping, and exploring in general. We had lunch in Riquewihr. The visit to the castle involves a great deal of climbing stairs. Nevertheless, it is worthy! There is a spectacular view of the valley and mountains.

Both were good and the guides did their best to explain the history and culture of the places we visited and were patient with questions. Would highly recommend this as it’s not the typical group tour experience. It’s kept small and everyone gets to interact with one another

There were only four of us on the tour, which made it more personal. Our guide was very familiar with the region and made adjustments as needed for traffic and road conditions. He shared history and knowledge with humor and honesty. He had extensive knowledge of wine and winemaking, and stopped to show us a wine cellar. A nice break from walking around cities. Beautiful countryside and amazing historic villages. Highly recommend!

The van is nice, the towns are characteristically Alsace and driving through (and walking a bit) was lovely. The wineries are locally owned, often family-owned, and tucked into the vineyards and towns, it is so interesting and charming! The ones we visited had the classic Alsace grapes, including some Grand Cru options. We enjoyed it thoroughly and highly recommend. We also enjoyed meeting Florence! She was interesting and knowledgeable, as well as fun to be with. Tres bien!
