Reviews
prachtige belevenis, heel veel gezien. gids valentin was erg deskundig en heel enthousiast
Francisco was very knowledgeable about the Alsatian wines. He told us a lot about the way wines are produced in this area and provided numerous tastings of various grapes, vintages and levels of dryness. A wonderful 1/2 day tour.
The excursion to Colmar, Riquewir and the Castle was very well organized and we had a great time thanks to our very pleasant tour guide Lea, who did everything to support and keep us satisfied!!! She also kept us well informed by giving us details about the history of the places!! I would definitely recommend the tour and Lea personally!!!
