Our host Sebastian is a character, straight up. It says he doesn’t speak English but he does pretty well, and he’s a kindred spirit, other than the amazing locations he definitely made it a worthwhile trip. I wish the rest of the group on the bus was as receptive to the humor as I was

O passeio foi excelente, aproveitei bastante o dia e visitei muitos pontos interessantes nas cidades do roteiro. O guia Martin foi muito gentil e deu ótimas dicas em cada parada. Valeu muito a pena. O único ponto negativo foi que o dia estava muito quente e o sistema de refrigeração do ônibus que não era muito eficiente.

We had a wonderful day trip with Tour Alsace. Everything was well organised, transportation was comfortable and scenic with the convertible roof. Ample time allocated for each stop. Sebastian was forthcoming with information and advice throughout the day. Highly recommended!

If you find yourself in Strasbourg, a day trip to the surrounding Alsatian villages is definitely worth it! We set off in the morning and within a short time found ourselves in a fairytale landscape, full of colorful houses, flowers, and cobbled streets. We passed through Riquewihr, Ribeauville, the famous Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg, Kaysersberg, and Colmar, each one more beautiful than the last. Each village had its own unique charm and atmosphere. We strolled around, drank local wine, tasted traditional sweets, and took lots of photos. It was like traveling back in time! The minibus ride was easy and pleasant, with vineyards and green hills everywhere. The nature in this area is truly enchanting, even in the rain. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience! If you love nature, tradition, and peaceful landscapes, this excursion will be unforgettable!
