5.00This trip was well worth every penny. Laurent was our guide for the day and he was knowledgeable, engaging and made us feel like he truly loved his job. Each stop was unique and gave you plenty of time to explore. My personal favorite was the medieval castle at the end of the tour. What a fantastic surprise! Laurent took us room to room, section to section and just let the knowledge flow. I was a little uneasy about booking as it says "all sales are final," but I thought it was well worth it and wouldn't have missed it! Definitely a must do as it is an efficient way to see some of the surrounding areas and you get to learn along the way.
A fairytale path

5.00I visited Colmar, Eguisheim, Riquewir charming medieval villages that remain in your heart and mind. The Christmas period gives even more special charm .The half-timbered houses now a UNESCO heritage site make it a setting nothing short of amazing.Visits in a day and a half but really deserve it. Highly recommended tour

2.00We paid a good amount for this tour just for the guide to drop us off at the different towns and let us walk around for a couple of hours. She talked on the long drive and then dropped us at the towns for us to walk around ourselves. I expected more of a guided experience where we could learn about the sites around the town. We had our own car and could have saved a lot of money driving ourselves.
Excellent visit

5.00Very nice and complete excursion. Carlos our guide has been charming and very didactic. In addition to knowing the history of the places visited, it provides information about the life of the place, excursions, good restaurant recommendations, etc. An excellent day trip.
Great way to see multiple sites and learn about the region

5.00Excellent all day tour! Camille was a fabulous guide. She drove us and taught us all day. She was fun and full of facts. It was cold as it was December so dress accordingly. We were there to see these great towns and visit the Christmas markets. Fun day!
The Christmas market in Colmar 2025.

5.00Colmar Picturesque old town to fall in love with! We have taken so many fantastic photos with half-timbered houses. Many visitors flock to the Christmas markets in Colmar, causing enormous problems with public toilets and parking. The public toilets are only available at Grande roue de Colmar (ferris wheel). The second way to visit a toilet is to use the restaurants, but these usually don't open until around 18:00 or 19:00.
Christmas what a mess!!!
