Alsatian delights - Lucas was our personable guide for the four gems of Alsace. This tour would be a great introduction to the charming half timbered wine villages and turbulent history of this area. Highly recommend!

Amazing!!! Do it! - Tour guide was amazing (Violetta). She really catered the trip to us, asking what we wanted to do first due to the weather & our energy levels. She was super informative at the castle & about the Alsace region in general. Even took us to beautiful view points of the town to take pictures. Only part that could’ve been a bit better was the wine tasting. The wine was great, same with the company but it was in a little store with no chairs versus an actual winery. We spent about an hour there trying really good wines but it was kind of random. I would say this tour is an amazing way to see 2 towns, try some wine & also get a very informative tour of the castle! Vehicle was air conditioned too & plenty of places to stop to go to the bathroom if we needed! It was a group of 5 of us & then 3 others so it was a small enough tour that could be customized

Tour experience on a cold snowy day - We took this tour on a very cold snowy day in January and it was still fantastic. The roads were too bad to go to the castle but our guide led us to an additional town, and we had a little more time to thoroughly explore all the other beautiful towns in the region.

Great tour of the countryside - We had a great day exploring the Alsace villages and really enjoyed our small group guided tour of the castle. So you know, the wine tasting is at the very end of the day at a specific winery. I would have preferred trying wines throughout the day at different wineries because we really didn't enjoy the wine we were served.
Our tour guide was great and the van was very comfortable.

Other than the timing... - Other than the timing issue, everything was great. Although the itinerary originally planned for us to spend 2 hours in Riquewihr — the most beautiful village on the program — we only had 1 hour there. Also since it coincided with lunchtime, we had to explore the village quite quickly and couldn’t fully enjoy it. Apart from that, everything was very well and enjoyable.

Beautiful route - The Alsace wine route with its picture postcard towns is always a stunning place. We toured with a very young tour guide named Lucas who was newer and who was doing a great job. He was kind and sensitive to our needs. Showed us excellent things.
