Excursão diurna aos mercados de Natal da Alsácia saindo de Estrasburgo

We did the Christmas Markets day tour from Strasbourg with Dulce as our guide. Colmar and Riquewihr were absolutely beautiful—both towns are charming and well worth visiting, especially during the Christmas season. However, we didn’t feel the tour was worth the amount paid. The car ride was mostly silent, and we were hoping to receive more information about the towns, their history, or the region while traveling between stops. Aside from transportation, there wasn’t much added value compared to visiting independently. In hindsight, we could have done this trip on our own for much less money. While the destinations themselves were lovely, we wouldn’t recommend this tour based on value and overall experience.

We had a lovely day experiencing the markets of Colmar and Eguisheim. Our tour guide, Camille, was so friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Our guide was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. She gave us lots of historical information and took us to both Colmar and Riquewihr. Amazing decorations everywhere. Very magical.

Beautiful excursion, fairytale villages, the guide (Sweet), very nice and professional. We ate at a typical stall.

Our guide Lea was very nice. She drove 8 of us in a van. She was an excellent driver. We enjoyed our trip. It was a rainy day in Colmar and we wanted to go to the Chocolate museum. Between the excessive crowds and bad weather we didn’t get to see it. We did go to another city which was a bit less crowded. It was still very crowded but we did get to enjoy the Christmas market. I’m giving the company and the driver 5 stars because of Lea. She texted us places to go to that were inside because of the rain. When someone said they needed a restroom she immediately took us to a restroom. We also had one passenger who repeatedly told her to blow her van horn at a full sized tour bus loading mostly elderly passengers in the rain. It was in a roundabout and so there was no place for any cars go until they were finished. Lea responded very calmly to the man in our bus demanding that she start blowing her horn by simply saying “I will not.” Each time he demanded she said “I will not.” It took all of 7 minutes for the bus to be completely filled with passengers and on its way. I know because Lea announced the time once we were on our way. The 7 minutes to help others was a small price to pay. She kept her composure during and after the event. The lesson I learned from her that day was far more valuable to me than the sightseeing trip.

This day trip was so fun! Had enough time to explore 2 Christmas markets/towns as it was crowded on the weekend. Lea was an amazing guide! So knowledgeable about the areas.

This was a wonderful tour to Colmar and Riquewihr. Our guide was wonderful and kept us on time. I could go back and spend a few days in Colmar but this was a great way to get an initial glimpse of the town and its Christmas magic. Highly recommend in lieu of the overcrowded buses.

You see only two villages with 1.45 hours of free time in each village. Lots of crowds at Xmas time so be prepared

Our guide was wonderful, but the plan for the tour was not. When we got to the Colmar market, we basically had to rush through the entire thing without stopping so the tour guide could provide facts. At the other end of the market we were given an hour and 45 minutes to have lunch and shop. By that time, the market was busy and crowded. There was no way we could get back to the beginning of the market to see all of the things we had to pass by that we were not allowed to stop and shop at. Not enough time at this market! We should’ve been dropped off and given a map at the beginning of the market and then allowed to shop. We could have met up with the guide at the end to hear the facts about the market.

Absolutely wonderful, a fabulous experience, visiting villages that seem to have come out of a story. It is worth doing this route without question.
