Its vineyards, producing the region’s renowned Sylvaner, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer, are surrounded by historic architecture that reflects centuries of heritage.

Hillside and surrounded by vineyards, the village is composed of numerous wineries. There you will surely admire the magnificent Renaissance town hall with its façade made of arches.Your guide will allow you there some free time for personal discovery.

A Tour is the French Countryside
Tour Guide was knowlegable and the van was comfortable. Since we did not have our own car this was a great way to get out of the city a bit and see smaller villages.

Great afternoon
Wonderful way to see several small villages you would never see otherwise. Perfect amount of free time in the first village to shop or have a cocktail.

Quality small group tour! Don't miss it!
We had a wonderful time with our guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so much fascinating local history and insight. She took us on a lovely stroll through three beautiful villages and to a wine-making cave that has been run by the same family for generations. It was a truly special experience, and we highly recommend this tour!

Great uncrowded experience
A very relaxing day visiting 3 towns and 2 viewpoints. The pickup and drop were easy near train station, 30-40 minute drive to obernai, then short drives to obernai overlook, barr, mittelberhheim overlook, andlau. Charming towns, great views, leisurely pace with Lea. Away from the crowds, amazing ancient church in andlau. 6 of us on 8 person van, seems like max tour size is 8.

Great experience in the Alsace countryside
We had a wonderful experience exploring the countryside. Obernai in particular was charming and lively. The town square was magical and felt like a fairytale. The other towns were equally pretty but because it was a Sunday, most shops were closed. I think had we gone any other day more would have been available. That said, our guide Lea was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The vehicle was a brand new Mercedes van and very comfortable.
