Perfect day - This was a core memory for our family and my favorite experience of any vacation I have ever had. Sebastien our guide was incredible and so knowledgeable. He took us to places that you thought only existed in storybooks. All the places we went in one day was something we never would have know to do or could have done on our own. We loved this so much. Just an absolute perfect day. The bus was comfortable and the history was fascinating.

Lovely day with Tour Alsace - Lovely day trip by Tour Alsace! We had a good time even though we were unlucky to meet with rain through the day. The tour seemed to be popular as the bus was almost full with every seat taken up. It’s winter so everyone had coats and there was a bit of a space constrain but nothing to worry unless you’re an exceptionally bigger person. The bus was also equipped with umbrellas enough for the whole bus if you needed one. The driver handed them out as we started at our first spot, Haut-Koenigsbourg. We were given 1 hr here - which seemed to be just enough time for us to take a walk through of the entire castle. On the way to the next stop, we drove through some lovely scenery and towns which the driver explained briefly about. And we arrived at Riquewihr which we were given about slightly more than an hour - you could have lunch at this stop if you’d like. Which we did and sat down at a local restaurant for a lovely meal. But that meant that we did not have any extra time to walk around the town after our meal. It was in fact a rush to even get back to the bus on time after our meal. Again some nice scenery along the wine route and a short photo stop before we reached our Kaysersberg. Time here was sufficient and we had a good walk around the town. Then finally we were off to Colmar which was the last stop. We started with taking the little train which was a tour around the town. It was a nice ride and highlighted all the attractions of town. The ride was around 30-40mins and including this time, we had a total of 2 hrs given for this stop. Just a suggestion but I would have rather had this extra time at Riquewihr so that we could have lunch and also time to explore the town. For Colmar, the little train actually covered most things so there wasn’t actually much else to walk around to explore - except to maybe revisit something that gained your interest during the train ride. So personally, an hour here instead of 2 would have been enough. The driver communicated well and instructions were given clearly at every stop as to what time to get back and where to meet etc. Do be clear that upon entering the castle/town, you’re left to explore on your own, since this is not a guided tour. All in all, a very nice day trip and we would recommend it to everyone. We travelled in a family of 4 (adults and elderly) and enjoyed the day. Giving it a 5 stars.

Excellent Day Trip from Strasbourg - If you’re staying in Strasbourg and you want to explore the surrounding Alsatian countryside, this tour is an excellent option. We met our bus driver Martine at 9am and he took us to the castle Haut Koenigsbourg and the towns of Riquewihr, Kaysersberg and Colmar before returning to Strasbourg around 7:30pm. While on the bus, we were provided with some historical information via an audio guide. Martine also escorted us to the starting point of each visit and clearly explained how much time we had at each stop and where to meet for the return. I thought the overall day was well organized, providing a nice balance of structured time with free time to explore on our own. I would highly recommend this excursion!

Great experience - We had a great time on the food tour. It was a perfect way to sample some of the popular foods and drink of Strasbourg. We also learned some of the city’s history. Loubna was a delightful and knowledgeable guide. The tour was just the right amount of time. I would definitely recommend!

Exceptional journey through the Alsace Vinyards - The driver Martin was very good with great driving skills. Haut-Koenigsbourg was absolutely amazing. We only had 1 hour here, it would have been excellent if we had at least 2 hours as there was a lot to see inside the castle and outside the castle. Walking through the surrounding woods would have been a really good experience. Riquewihr was sensational, a beautiful old world village that takes you back to the 14th century. We had a fabulous lunch and enjoyed walking around the village. Kaysersberg was beautiful. Set amongst the vineyards, the village is very similar to Riquewihr but with it's own character. Walking up to the tower and looking out over the land was stunning. Our last spot was Colmar. This was a complete waste of time. I would suggest you take this town of your tour and add more time at the first 3 stops.
