Reviews
This was fantastic. Absoutely magical. Highlight of my trip for the christmas Markets. You do not want to miss this
We had a wonderful experience exploring the countryside. Obernai in particular was charming and lively. The town square was magical and felt like a fairytale. The other towns were equally pretty but because it was a Sunday, most shops were closed. I think had we gone any other day more would have been available. That said, our guide Lea was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The vehicle was a brand new Mercedes van and very comfortable.
Wonderful experience! Charmine is our guide and driver, she is very professional and very nice. Unforgettable day.
