We were staying in a vacation rental north of Lyon while attending the Women’s World Cup and had initially wanted to take a Beaujolais Wine Tour on one of the off-days. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a tour or private tour guide that wasn’t already booked. As a result, we moved further North and started looking at Burgundy wine tours. Luckily by-chance, we booked The Wines of Burgundy Day Tour with Pieter Smits. We had a wonderful tour with Pieter as we visited several villages, chateaus, and wineries. Not only were we able to sample some fine wines but Pieter also selected a restaurant where we had a great lunch. Pieter is very engaging and knowledgeable which helped make the tour very enjoyable. It's an experience I will always remember.

We can certainly recommend Eric and Ana's Safari-tour. Besides the fact that they are super nice people to spend a day with, you see places that you normally do not see quickly. Eric and Ana are very enthusiastic about their region, their people and of course about wine ;-). They know a lot about the history of the region, the places to visit and have arranged everything down to the last detail. Eric and Ana work exclusively with small winegrowers for their wine tastings. During our wine tasting we received a lot of information about the winemaking process. The different types of wine and intended flavors. We had a great day. When we go to Alsace again, we will certainly contact Eric and Ana.

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 did their Alsace Discovery Tour with our 3 year old and 11 month old. It was fantastic. The car was immaculate and came with the car seats already installed. The driver was so friendly and helpful with the kids and understanding when our baby cried in the car a few times. He explained a lot about the history of the area and was very engaged with us. We would have skipped the castle to spend more time at the winery. The winery was also kid friendly. Can’t recommend enough. Fantastic experience.
