Top Strasbourg Day Trips

Daniel is a contracted guide for Viator and has been in business for a little over a year. Much of his leisure time in years past has been spent in the Black Forest and its German villages so we were in great hands. A marvelous balance of fresh air, waterfalls, clock shops, lunch by the lake and a little early birthday cake disguised as Black Forest cake! Yum! A great break from all the city walking tours we've been taking.

We didn’t really know how this long day would go. Once the audio tour portion began we were immediately impressed. Our driver was excellent as was the tour itself. It was straightforward to find and meet the group, the van was comfortable with a sliding glass roof which allowed for great photos (sit in the middle for this feature) and recharging was available at the seats. The towns we visited speak for themselves - each one prettier than the last. Along with the four we stopped at, there were numerous tiny villages along the way - each with a unique history and vibe. The Alsace wine region is surely where the the word ‘charming’ originated. We found the wine tasting at a small family business captivating and even purchased a couple bottles. If you’re considering taking this tour, do it!

The food was delicious and our guide, Christine made the tour fun and interesting. She was sensitive to my food allergies and found safe substitutes for me. We walked to 5 different eateries and sat at 2 of them. The walk was flat and easy and Christine filled the walk with history and interesting facts. She spoke understandable and clear English. Highly recommend this tour.

Very nice tour. Violette was our guide and she was very informative. We were picked up in a Mercedes van which was clean and air conditioned. Violette used a microphone so that people in the back seat could hear her. The wineries were generous with both their time and their wine and there was time to purchase wine before leaving. Well worth the time.

Absolutely exceptional. Private tour in a private vehicle visiting three wineries, charming villages, and an opportunity to experience Alsatian culture and hospitality. The wineries were the highlight of course, ranging from a winery with a storied and historic pedigree in the region, and two new wineries with a modern focus yet deeply ingrained in the established wine culture. This will be a highlight for your trip, a wonderful day excursion, and an opportunity to experience Alsatian Wine from the hands of the growers and producers.

I’ve always dreamed of visiting the Black Forest, the land of the cuckoo clocks and the tales of the Brothers Grimm whose enchanting stories like Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood. And it did not disappoint when I visited with my wife to experience what it is like to be deep in this part of Germany. Enjoyed the private tour with Laurent, at our own ace. We covered Freiburg with its drains with spring water running around the city, as well as a great scenic drive through the Black Forest. Would recommend this tour!

Our guide Lea was very nice. She drove 8 of us in a van. She was an excellent driver. We enjoyed our trip. It was a rainy day in Colmar and we wanted to go to the Chocolate museum. Between the excessive crowds and bad weather we didn’t get to see it. We did go to another city which was a bit less crowded. It was still very crowded but we did get to enjoy the Christmas market. I’m giving the company and the driver 5 stars because of Lea. She texted us places to go to that were inside because of the rain. When someone said they needed a restroom she immediately took us to a restroom. We also had one passenger who repeatedly told her to blow her van horn at a full sized tour bus loading mostly elderly passengers in the rain. It was in a roundabout and so there was no place for any cars go until they were finished. Lea responded very calmly to the man in our bus demanding that she start blowing her horn by simply saying “I will not.” Each time he demanded she said “I will not.” It took all of 7 minutes for the bus to be completely filled with passengers and on its way. I know because Lea announced the time once we were on our way. The 7 minutes to help others was a small price to pay. She kept her composure during and after the event. The lesson I learned from her that day was far more valuable to me than the sightseeing trip.
