Enjoyed guide. Would have preferred more free time and lunch in Colmar and just walk around to see Beauty and Beast town. Castle was closed due to heat so cannot comment.
Great day trip taken from Strasbourg. Comfortable small van/group. Excellent guide. Castle was incredible. Very different from other castles in France.
Excellent. The guide was super friendly and told us everything with great patience. And the places visited are spectacular. I would have liked a little more time in Colmar.
This was a fantastic tour! Our guide, Violette, was wonderful - very kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable about what we were seeing. The Alsace region is beautiful and utterly charming and has been a highlight of my trip thus far. I would highly recommend.
The small group was very nice. I would have liked free time Colmar. No free time to wonder through the shops. Our guide Lea was great and spoke good English
A great small group tour of Colmar, Riquewihr village and Haut Koenigsbourg Castle. It was at the perfect pace and made for a nice relaxing tour. Our guide Leia was terrific. She was an excellent driver and tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, able to answer many queries including the wines of the region.
Its a nice visit for highlights. 2 significant villages and a castle! it provides a nice balance to a Strasbourg visit.
With our guide Jerome, we discovered a superb region including Colmar, Riquewihr and Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle. Everything was perfect, beautiful and very varied. Jerome was an excellent guide.
Since moving to Strasbourg, this trip was high on my list. Colmar is even more picturesque in person – 'Little Venice' is a dream! We also visited Eguisheim and Riquewihr, which felt like stepping into a movie set. The tour was well-paced, though the stairs at the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle can be a bit of a workout (tip: wear comfy shoes!). Our guide was lovely and the small group made it easy to ask questions. The only 'OK' part was the lunch break – it felt a bit rushed, so maybe grab a quick snack to have more time for exploring. Still, 10/10 experience! This trip is best for solo travelers or couples who appreciate a well-organized, small-group atmosphere. Keep in mind that the admission fee for the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle (around 12€) wasn't included in the tour price, so have some extra cash or your card ready.
All around fantastic tour of Alsace. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and he adapted the timeline of the tour based on the weather of the day. The places visited are a must see of the region. I would highly recommend this tour.
