From Strasbourg: The Best of Alsace Christmas Markets
Description
Our first stop is the village of Riquewihr, a typical village of the Wine Route: the facades and monuments are illuminated and the decorations amaze young and old. Eyes full of lights and a full belly, we will set out again on the Wine Route for a crossing of small Alsatian villages. Our bus will then stop in Kaysersberg, to discover this medieval village in the colors of Christmas. The Kaysersberg Christmas market traditionally welcomes you all four Advent weekends. The other days of the week you will find there a concentrate of Alsace: a historic town center filled with charm with beautiful old half-timbered houses. It will then be time to leave to go to the famous city of Colmar, where different Christmas markets dot the city and create different atmospheres depending on the neighborhood. You will be able to enjoy three hours of visit in complete freedom, punctuated by tastings of seasonal delicacies.

A very well spent day in Strasbourg to see the Christmas lights. Very beautiful streets and there were not many people which allowed to contemplate much better all the decorations.
Very nice villages. Well-explained audio guide. Very nice guide. Recommended excursion
The goods offered in Colmar and Kaysersberg are handmade and of high quality. Prices are reasonable, but that is subjective. The gourmet market I did not find worth experiencing.The organization with the buses , which go to the surrounding villages is great. The decoration of the houses is beautiful. However, it must be said that crowds are pushing through Colmar on Saturday. If you don't care, this is the place.
Al long but fun day! We hit four Christmas Markets, each unique. The drive was pleasant and informational; headphones provided for recorded history and the guide provided historical commentary as well. I would definitely go on the trip again.
This was my favorite excursion I have ever done. Our guide was fantastic. Although the towns were very crowded, our guide made sure we saw as much as possible. I would highly recommend this tour.
I have seen a lot of Christmas Markets or Christmas Towns, but this by far is one of the best. Many stalls, places, food, and everything you want in a Christmas Market is here. If you do come, make sure you make dinner reservations as the crowds are big. Lots of fun for the family and kids of all ages. Put this one on your list for this year or next. It's a must see.
