Top Strasbourg Day Trips

This tour is full of good information and rich history about the Alsace region! The Black Forest is beautiful with stunning landscapes and great stops. Daniel, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and very pleasant. We took this tour with teenagers and they loved it. I highly recommend this tour.

From other reviews, we knew our driver wasn’t a ‘tour guide.’ Smail was on time, a great driver, polite, and told us a little extra during the drive when asked. For the most part, he played the English narration and let that do the information. When we saw how busy the castle was, he did give us prepaid tickets so we could skip the line and pay him back later. The castle was great, Riquewihr was lovely and laidback (go during the week for less people), and the four of us all found Colmar underwhelming and wish we’d had more time at either of the other locations. We also got to Colmar near the end of lunch and when restaurants are finishing lunch service, making it more difficult to find a good place to eat and people watch.

A great small group tour of Colmar, Riquewihr village and Haut Koenigsbourg Castle. It was at the perfect pace and made for a nice relaxing tour. Our guide Leia was terrific. She was an excellent driver and tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, able to answer many queries including the wines of the region.

We visit two wineries. In the first one the host was very warm and friendly, in the second one, Klipfel, the host was very knowledgeable of the Grand Cru areas and soils. Our tour guide Lea was very knowledgeable and friendly, and made sure everyone had a good time and tasted the type of wine they wanted.

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.

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.

The tour was excellent and our guide Camilla was delightful. She did a great job of organizing and presenting it in alignment with our interests. This was one of the first things we did in Strasbourg and we’re so glad we did—it set us up for days 2 and 3 of our visit to this beautiful region of France.

Off the beaten track excellence - we booked this tasting as the only option I could find for a Sunday in the region. We wanted a private picked up tour from Strasbourg but there were none available on a Sunday. We later learnt that practically all small towns close on a Sunday! So we were excited to find this one. We trained from Strasbourg to Barr (40min train ride) thinking we would walk around Barr explore. But nothing is open in Barr on Sunday. We walked from Bar to Gertwiller for the tasting (20min) and although we were early we could purchase a glass of wine and sit on the terrace. The tasting experience was fantastic and interactive. Started by walking out to the vineyard and then into the cellars. Their interactive film was really informative. The first one was quite simple about basic wine making practised (a little too basic for anyone that knows wine) but still fun because of the great host. The second film in the barrel store was great as we learnt of the estates history. Wines were great and we purchased a few bottles that we could enjoy on holiday. We had to leave quickly to make our train back, but the whole experience was great. The closest train station at Gertwiller was only a 8min walk. Overall- very happy with the experience- but people need to know that nothing is open on a Sunday in these areas.
