Fab trip which you must do if you are visiting Strasbourg!

What a fabulous trip and I would definitely recommend. Our guide Pauline was so knowledgeable and gave us so much information about the Alsace region that we would never have found out ourselves. The trip itself was great and we loved seeing all the places we visited.... I'm sure we would never have found these ourselves. We loved Colmar so much that we booked a train and visited again during our holiday. Thanks Pauline as you were brilliant....on your recommendations, I now know that I love Malana's (traditional brioche bread shaped like a man!), Cremant....which is the same as champagne but cannot be called champagne and we had the best meal at the lovely and oldest restaurant in Strasbourg which again Pauline told us about - so thank you so much! If you are visiting Strasbourg....I would definitely recommend doing this trip.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting route. The driver, who also acted as our guide, told us anecdotes and interesting details about the places we were visiting, and since it was an 8-seater minivan, we passed through very distinctive areas without many people. (Original) Ruta muy interesante. El conductor que hacía también de guía nos fue contando anécdotas y detalles interesantes de los lugares que íbamos visitando y al ser un minivan de 8 plazas pasamos por zonas muy características y sin gente.

(Translated by Google) I really wanted to go to Riquewihr village, which is difficult to get to on your own, so I booked a tour. Since it was before the Christmas market started, about half the shops were closed, but there were few tourists, so I was able to look around at a leisurely pace and it was easy to take pictures, which was great. The guide was also very kind to me, even though I don't speak English. Even with the weak yen, it was such good value for money that it's definitely worth going. (Original) 個人では行くに難しい絶対にリクヴィール村に行きたくててツアー申し込みました。クリスマスマーケットが始まる前だったので半分くらいお店は閉まってましたが観光客が少なくてゆったり廻ることができ写真も撮りやすかったのでとても良かったです。ガイドさんも英語が話せない私にもとても親切に接してくれました。円安といえこれだけコスパ良かったので行く価値あります。

Perfect!

Jerome picked the perfect two vineyards for our 4 hour trip. He was so knowledgeable about the region, then wines and the winemakers. Each vineyard was different but a perfect combination of offering us the different wines in the regions. 10/10

Our tour guide, Jerome, was very considerate and knowledgeable and drives very safely. He was able to find alternative places and routes when the more popular towns were congested with tourists. He made that we were able to visit a good sampling of the wine region. A must-do activity when in Alsace region.

I enjoyed the Alsace villages half day tour from Colmar. Tour guide Jerome is knowledgeable and explained change of towns to be visited due to traffic. He drove us to Turckheim with a small Christmas market, and led us through the streets to understand the structure of half timbered houses. Then we visited a traditional wine growers village, Hunawihr, on a hilltop to enjoy the view. Last, we went to Riquewihr, and had an hour of free time to roam around the beautiful town and Christmas market. I enjoyed this small group tour (7 guests).

Christmas Markets in Colmar and Riquewhir!!!

Visiting the Christmas markets in Alsace (Colmar & Riquewhir) was really spectacular. Everything went as planned. My only comment is that I expected a brief tour of the city of Colmar and Riquewhir before going to the markets.

3 Alsatian villages in one afternoon

Jerome drove us to Turckheim, Huiswihr and Riquewihr. He guided us through streets of Turckheim to understand Alsatian half timbered houses, brought us uphill in Huiswihr to see the nice view. At Riquewihr, we had free time to roam around Christmas market and the beautiful town. Enjoyed the tour.

Matt was the most fantastic guide. As there was just myself and my son, he tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted. We cannot rate this tour highly enough. Certainly the highlight of our trip.

Rodolphe was an excellent guide! He was very friendly and easy to talk to, very knowledgeable about the wines, region, history and current news about Bordeaux and Saint Emilion. Our visit was heavily improved by having him as a guide. Additionally he knew a little bit of Spanish and made us feel very welcome as soon as we met him, he answered to each one of our questions and gave us additional information.

This was a wonderful day out. Colmar is stunning at Christmas and the villages of Riquewihr and Eguisheim were breathtaking. The van was comfortable. The guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Alsace region, coming for a small village. The tour allows for plenty of time to explore, shop, eat and drink at the Christmas Markets. Cash is needed at most markets, so be prepared. You do not want to spend time looking for an ATM. The train stations in both Strasbourg and Colmar are a bit far from the central areas so this tour makes more sense. The guide provided history and fun facts about Alsace. He also went out of his way to locate things guests asked about; Starbucks cups and t shirts for example. This is probably among our top 10 experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with this company. Do this, you wont regret it. Peggy USA
