Itinerary
We will meet at Basel SBB train station and next will enjoy a 40 minutes train ride until beautiful Colmar
While in Colmar, we will accompany you throughout the visit, sharing the rich history of the town and its remarkable architecture. As we stroll through the picturesque old town for approximately 2.5 hours, you’ll discover beautifully preserved half-timbered houses, charming canals, and cobblestone streets that give Colmar its unique Alsatian character.
You’ll have about 1.5 hours of free time to enjoy a delicious Alsatian meal at one of the local restaurants and perhaps do a bit of shopping or simply soak up the atmosphere at your own pace.
Next, we will visit a local organic (bio) wine producer for a tasting of authentic Alsatian wines. This experience will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, giving you the opportunity to learn about the region’s unique grape varieties and winemaking traditions, all while sampling a carefully selected range of wines in a warm and welcoming setting.

Excellent tour! I have already visited Basel and wanted to see something else that is not too far, and this was a great choice. Colmar is very pretty and the wine is excellent (although Italian wine is better). It helped a lot that the guide speaks so many languages! They could switch from English to Spanish when needed.
We had a fantastic day in Colmar, and now we want to go back for the Christmas time too see the famous Christmas Market as well. The town is charming with colorful streets and rich history, and combining it with a wine tasting at a local organic producer was very pleasant. Everything was well organized, having the tour and wine tasting but also some free time for us. Highly recommended. Thank you MySwitzerland Tours :)
We had an amazing day trip to Colmar over the Easter weekend! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience completely personalized. The town was even more charming with all the Easter decorations, and we loved exploring at our own pace.
We had an amazing private day trip in Colmar! The town is like a fairytale, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day so enjoyable. The wine tasting was a real highlight—delicious local wines and a welcoming atmosphere. A perfect mix of sightseeing and indulgence. Highly recommended for a day trip fom Basel!
