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.

Just do this tour. It’s great! - We traveled in a comfortable van, in a small group with a very kind, professional guide. We thought about doing this trip using ride shares or public transportation but are so glad that we did this tour instead. We honestly couldn’t have fit it all in, and we learned so much more from our guide, Alan. This is a wonderful way to have a personal and informative tour of Alsace.

Travelers from Texas - The description for the tour was as described. We were given details about the meeting point and what we needed to know. Our guide Thierry was great: explained the sights with personality. We had a wonderful time and highly recommended this tour.

A very well organized, informative and enjoyable tour. - The success of a tour starts with the tour guide. We were fortunate to have Myriam, a very efficient and knowledgeable professional tour guide who also is refreshingly enthusiastic about sharing her love for the region. She kept all eight members of the group engaged during the whole eight-hour tour in a pleasant and non-overwhelming tone. The activities are well planned, we had a good walk in the magnificent castle, and a superb drive among the vines, with great stops at elevated vista points, and efficient stops in the villages. Myriam even added two villages to the program because we had time. We learned a lot about the region's geography, history, traditions and culture, as well as about the wines, and with that, we could enjoy even more our solo explorations in the following days.

Fantastic Tour with Myriam - My mom and I took the Alsace's Gems Day Tour from Colmar with Myriam. She is a fantastic guide and the tour was amazing. We visited the Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg which was outstanding and several extraordinarily beautiful villages. Myriam also included several additional small stops along the way. Myriam provided the perfect amount of information and also allowed time to explore on our own. Highly recommend this tour.
