My mom and I booked this tour and I'm so happy we did! Didier was a wonderful tour guide, and we had a wonderful time with the other 2 guests that were on the tour with us. I definitely would recommend!

As advertised, we drove to three markets starting in Freiburg, Basel and Egesheim. The group was split into two vans, so while Didier was our main contact, we had Julia and Gael with us. While they didn't speak fluent English, one would appreciate how they hard they tried to communicate and share bits and pieces of information about the places we passed through. Once at the markets, Didier took the lead in explaining and giving a bit of background about each of the markets we visited.
Overall, it was a good excursion. However, I think Basel wasn't that special or different from the others. In fact, most of the kiosks only took cash and none of us had Swiss francs. Freiburg was good; Egesheim was the best but we stayed there the shortest. Perhaps, the tour organizers consider replacing Basel with some place more interesting and allocate more time in Egesheim.

Wow!!! 3 countries, 3 Christmas markets!! Great driver and tour guide! Well worth it to see more than on your own!

This tour was a fun way to visit three countries in one day. Travel time takes a bit between the locations, which doesn’t leave that long at each stop.

Yvan was a great tour guide and we had a wonderful time exploring the markets in Freiburg, Basel, and Eguisheum! Great way to see the Christmas markets in three countries in one day!
Carmenita_N, Dec 2023
Yvan was very good in explaining the places given that English is not his 1st language. Overall the program was really good for tourists with limited time to experience many markets in different countries. Only thing is to give advance advice to carry some Swiss francs if planning to buy things in Basel. Not all shops know the euro-francs exchange.
