Fun way to see the Alsace region! - We had an amazing day on this tour. Great driver, easy pickup in Colmar and fun, open bus took us through the neighboring towns. We learned a lot about the Alsace region and enjoyed walking through the medieval towns. We also took a train ride and had a delicious wine tasting before returning to Colmar. Highly recommend this tour if you don't have a car as traveling throughout the region can be complicated.

Highly Recommended - Absolutely fantastic tour of Medieval Alsace with Sebastian. 110%, 11/10 etc Sebastian looked after us all really well and is wonderful at working with each person. The towns visited were gorgeous- Eguisheim (one of most beautiful villages in France), Kayersburg (where I bought delicious cheese and tried truffle salami in the delicatessen), Riquewhir (visited 2x churches as well as wandered beautiful town with amazing architecture). Then we went to incredible castle of Haute-Koeninsburg. After this we went to wine tasting at Ribeauville. Sebastian was so kind to include tour of town even though this was not included on our itinerary. Worth knowing that Sebastian is also a taxi driver and you can prebook your taxi transfer with him (especially as can prove difficult to prebook taxis with other companies in Colmar in June). If I return to Alasace (which I want to) I will definitely be seeking to book with TourAlsace.

Colmar, the unmissable jewel of Alsace, France - The historic center of Colmar is beautiful, perhaps one of the most beautiful in Alsace. Its medieval layout, half-timbered houses, windows with flower pots, pastel-colored houses, water channels and the commotion of storks on its roofs take us back to those imaginary cities of our childhood. But everything is real in Colmar. To get there, we took a train into Strasbourg for a one-hour ride. The time was exact but the trip was somewhat uncomfortable. We made the mistake of going on a wonderful spring Sunday day. The train arrived at the Strasbourg station already full and when all of us who were on the platform got on, we had to travel crowded in the aisles. We discovered the reason for so many people when we arrived. There was a regional Alsatian wine and food festival, with popular prices, which attracted many tourists. Veritable crowds walked through the narrow streets of the town. The lunch places are all full. You had to get away from the historic center to be able to sit somewhere for lunch. I wanted to take a ride on the boats that travel the canals, but when I arrived at the small dock, a person informed me that I had to get a ticket online months in advance. I didn't read this anywhere and no one notices it. I will return to Colmar, of course, it is well worth it, but I will do it on a weekday, with the ticket for the boat ride in hand and I will try to stay until nightfall, because according to what a neighbor told me, at night the city illuminated is magical.

Great tour & guide, lots of free time - Sebastien was a great guide, we were free to explore the villages at our own pace which was nice. The wine tasting at the end of the tour was a great addition. The village stop around lunch time was about 1.5 hours which was just enough time to stop at a restaurant. Overall a really great and full day!

Perfect day in Alsace! - Our guide was very friendly and informative. We traveled to 3 villages and a castle. Would have been impossible to see it all on our own.

It worths every single cent - Amazing tour, in a whole day you can visit a lot of typical villages and stop in the most relevant ones. You feel like you're inside a storybook walking on cobblestones surrounded by timber houses, towers and castles. You can also spot beautiful landscapes from the hills beyond German borders and the Black Forest. Add also you are introduced to a wine maker offering a great tasting of various Alsatian wines and at the end of the day you'll enjoy Haut Koenisburg castle that is a no-words-to-describe place itself. Luckily we were a very small group and we were accompanied all day long by our guide Sebastian who deserve a special mention for his kindness and cheerful presence, not to question about his sharp punctuality too! It was a great day out full of interesting things to learn and stunning places. I surely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to have an introduction on the Region and its traditions!
