We enjoyed our tour with Orlane. She drove us 30 mins to Colmar all while talking about his history, culture, and sites along the Alsace wine road - she was very knowledgable and made the ride fun. She had a microphone so everyone could hear her well and the van had great A/C. we then did a lunch stop in Riquewihr and then finished w Orlane's guided tour of the the Chateau/castle that we enjoyed. It was a great way to see a lot of the region conveniently.

Too rushed, lunch should be in Colmar, disn’t even get to walk around the other small town, where we were to eat lunch
Bonjour Diane_L Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour felt rushed. Just to clarify, lunch is scheduled in Riquewihr rather than Colmar. We were not informed that one of the villages was missed during the day, so we can only assume that the itinerary may have been adjusted to accommodate the group’s needs or requests. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team. Kind regards, Carole The Ophorus Team
Villages in Alsace are gorgeous and the castle is breathtaking. Our guide Jérôme (a local Alsatian) was kind, knowledgeable and shared the love for his home. I enjoyed the small, intimate tour size. Was able to chat with fellow guests and had a lovely time. I made sure to thank Jérôme for ensuring we had perfect weather on our tour date. It is a must when you visit Strasbourg!
We had a great time with our fault on day trip to Colmar and H-K castle. Our tour guide Francesco was very informative and engaging through our the day. The trip was a blast for all of our family members from age 5 to 70.
Our guide , Carlos , was excellent. Very knowledgeable. Enjoyable day. Scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend.
Violet was very knowledgeable about the history of the Alsace region and was also very professional and personable. Very enjoyable day.
This is an excellent day trip (about 8 hours). It is active, and seeing the mountain castle at the end is quite strenuous, but very rewarding.
very beautiful city very flowery village nice walk on foot and by boat and by little train visit to Little Venice The only negative point is that the restaurants do not accept vacation vouchers for meals.
This was fantastic. Absoutely magical. Highlight of my trip for the christmas Markets. You do not want to miss this
Great communication after booking! Our guide Leah was amazing. Would definitely recommend using this company.
