Reviews
Tour was great .cities were so so beautiful .Our tour guide was superb. Very professional, friendly and a lot of positive energy. She was great in the background information and understood the need of everyone in the group . Great organiser and helpful.
Not often I meet the situation, when a tour guide is the best part of the trip, but it was the one! Alex! Exceptional enthusiasm and passion, knowledge about the region, history and art. This was a really unique experience, in few hours I received a solid course of history. Alex is a TRUE erudit, with a proper hint of craziness. Kudos to you!
Great wine tasting and getting to visit the countryside in Alsace. Guide was very knowledgeable and wineries owners were very friendly.
