Once you've visited Colmar in a day this is a great way to visit some of the surrounding villages that are all really pretty. Quite a lot of walking involved to explore the different areas. I imagine that in the summer it gets very busy. We were lucky as it was sunny and quiet with a group of 5. Thanks Ivan for your patience and to try and answer all our questions. Pick up at the hotel at 9h and returned around 17h. A full day out.

We had aimed up for a historical tour but due to limited number of people we were asked to join this tour. It was not a bad choice and it turned out to a wonderful way to see the city . Barbara our tour guide took our group - we were 8 people on this wonderful tour of the parks in the city of Strasbourg . She showed us the 100 year old trees and also about the app she uses to spot flowers and trees. She also treated us with cake in one of the parks .

Everything we did on this tour was just perfect. The day started with Stéphane picking us up in the Tesla. We went up to the castle and he gave very interesting background information on the history of the region and the castle on the way up. After the castle, we went to a wine tasting which was fabulous. We then went to two villages that looked like they were from a fairy tale. He was very knowledgeable and funny. I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits this region.

Myself and 4 friends spent the day with Colin visiting 4 vineyards, 3 in France and 1 in Germany. We tasted 27 different wines and had a lunch stop in the middle. Each place we visited was different so we learnt something new at each stop. Colin was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of additional information along the way. He was also really easy going and a pleasure to talk to. I would definitely recommend this tour ????

Great trip! A good balance between wine tasting, sightseeing trough the vineyards and beautiful villages. Our guide was well known with the region, wine production and the taste of wine. Also nice that we only visited organic / bio winemakers. This tour is highly recommended if you prefer small scale wineries and love an intimate tour around the Alsace area.

Thomas was a great guide, well informed and easy to understand. He even brought his mother to meet us since he thought we spoke German ( we live in Germany but are basically English speakers) and she was a wealth of information about the Cathedral and Strasbourg in general. We learned a lot in a very short time, and were pleased with the experience. Highly recommend!
