Molly Mcinerney30, Nov 2022This trip with Laurent was wonderful! He was extremely energetic and knowledgeable of the Alsace wine region and the history!
We took the Christmas town tour with Laurent as well this week and had such a great time, that we booked a second tour with him. Would highly recommend the tours with Laurent. If you do not speak French, his English is exceptional.

Rick Efird14, Dec 2021We enjoyed seeing the beautiful towns and countryside of Alsace. Disappointed that the time in Colmar was too brief to allow for visiting the Christmas market on our own. The microphone in the van was unreliable causing the passengers in the back to be unable to hear our guide’s commentary.

Felicitas30, Nov 2019Lovely tour of Colmar and Riquewihr, both postcard pretty towns with charming Christmas markets and picturesque buildings decorated with colorful Christmas motifs. We had plenty of time to have a hot chocolate and view the markets in Colmar then had a nice wine tasting session with Sebastian. Tasted four wines and loved them all Sebastian was very accommodating and eager to share his family's wine making history petting his dogs was a bonus! Riquewihr is a very pretty little village and we had some good soup and tarte flambé for lunch at one of the many restaurants lining the Main Street. Florence our guide, was very helpful, friendly and quite knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed her commentaries. She also helped us with other travel concerns like booking a taxi and giving advice on other itineraries. All in all, great value for money especially because my husband and I were the only ones on the tour! Merci beaucoup Florence
