Wonderful Tour – Highly Recommended!

I had an amazing time on this tour! I visited on May 6 and was pleasantly surprised to see that these picturesque villages still had their charming Easter decorations up—it added a lovely festive touch. Every street in Kaysersberg and Riquewihr was so beautiful, it was hard not to stop and take a photo at every corner! As a solo traveler, I appreciated the small group size— it made for a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our guide was fantastic: easy to hear and follow, very informative, and kind. He even gave me a great recommendation for a hike to the Three Castles of Ribeauvillé, which I did the next day—and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of my trip! The views were spectacular. Thank you for that tip! We had just the right amount of free time to wander, take photos, and pick up some Alsace goodies to bring home. I liked the photo stop at the church in Hunawihr. It was especially beautiful and peaceful.This tour was a truly excellent experience and fantastic value for money. Thank you for a memorable day!

Great tour, great guide, great experience on the Alsace Wine Route!

Our guide made this experience 100% worth it. The small group setting was perfect for real conversations and insight from a local, which was so much better than a scripted tour. The wine tastings were informative and delicious (we bought several bottles per stop), but the highlight was our personal interactions with the wine makers and our guide. We were able to learn about the history and culture of Alsace and Alsatians, in addition to the local wine industry and production process - all while sampling an array of wines tailored to our taste preferences. We also had time to visit one of the medieval old town villages between tastings with our guide pointing out historical sights and local history. At the conclusion of the tour, he provided personalized restaurant recommendations for the days following our tour and even made a reservation for us for that evening. 100% recommend this tour!

Our tour of Cassis, the Calanques, and our wine tasting was wonderful! We've been on a few tours and have enjoyed them all, but this was our favorite because of our tour guide Morgane! Morgane was friendly and informative. I think what I appreciated most was how she interacted with each person, making sure we all were enjoying ourselves and were engaged. She really was wonderful!

wonderful day trip

It was a long day and full of highlights. Getting out of the city and experiencing the wonderful country side and small towns was amazing. Our guide enriched the overall experience with clear and insightful commentary throughout the day.

Our guide, Pascal, was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history. He brought each stop to life with stories and context that made the experience truly memorable. The itinerary was well thought out, covering key American D-Day sites including Sainte-Mère-Église, Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the Normandy American Cemetery. Walking in the footsteps of history at places like Pointe du Hoc was especially powerful. The small-group format was appreciated, though the group was a bit larger than we expected. Still, it remained comfortable and intimate enough for questions and interaction. This tour is an excellent way to understand the scale and sacrifice of D-Day. If you're in Normandy and want a meaningful, informative day trip, this is the one to take!

The Saint Emilion odyssey Full Day Bordeaux Wine Tour was excellent!! We visited three great wineries and not only learned about the wineries, but also the wine making process, the Saint Emilion wine standards and community! Our guide was wonderful! He was able to answer our questions and teach us about Saint Emilion! I can’t recommend this tour enough!!
