Reviews
Deze tour was een enorme teleurstelling en voldeed totaal niet aan de beschrijving. Ik had dit met twee vriendinnen geboekt omdat ik wijn heb gestudeerd en hen graag meer wilde leren over de wijnen uit de Elzas. De eerste stop was bij een particulier met een rommelige tuin, waar we vier wijnen proefden zonder enige uitleg over de wijnen of het wijnhuis. Daarnaast werd beloofd dat we iets van Obernai zouden zien, maar dat is niet gebeurd. Bij de tweede stop kregen we een rondleiding van nog geen vijf minuten van een gids die nauwelijks te verstaan was. De proeverij verliep ontzettend gehaast; nog voordat we een wijn konden beoordelen, werd de volgende al ingeschonken. Ook de beloofde "caveau" was nergens te bekennen. Voor een tour van vier uur à €130 per persoon mocht je toch meer kwaliteit verwachten, inclusief op zijn minst een klein hapje. Wij verzoeken daarom om een volledige terugbetaling.
Great time with Lena our driver who took us to all those fairytale places, you have enough time too go around, take photos and enjoy. I recommend it
It was amazing!! The only thing was the lavender fields were not what I expected
