Amazing tour, in a whole day you can visit a lot of typical villages and stop in the most relevant ones. You feel like you're inside a storybook walking on cobblestones surrounded by timber houses, towers and castles. You can also spot beautiful landscapes from the hills beyond German borders and the Black Forest. Add also you are introduced to a wine maker offering a great tasting of various Alsatian wines and at the end of the day you'll enjoy Haut Koenisburg castle that is a no-words-to-describe place itself. Luckily we were a very small group and we were accompanied all day long by our guide Sebastian who deserve a special mention for his kindness and cheerful presence, not to question about his sharp punctuality too! It was a great day out full of interesting things to learn and stunning places. I surely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to have an introduction on the Region and its traditions!ceciliagJ9644CM

We traveled in Alsace to visit some friends of us. They suggested this tour, which was really wonderful to discover great spots of Alsace without a car : the bus driver was nice, the car was clean and confortable, the informations provided by the audioguides were fascinating, and we had just enough time to explore each of the small typical villages. The kids especcially enjoyed the visit of the Haut Koenigsbourg, an amazing castle with stunning views of Alsace, while we were happy to taste some good local wines before being drived back home !Adventure52150649972
