5A great half day!
This was the perfect half day! I booked last minute as a solo traveler. Our guide Francesco was incredibly accommodating, funny, and kind. The 3 villages we went to were all great, and we had the perfect amount of time to wander by ourselves. Highly recommend!
5Excellent half day tour
Excellent tour of the Alcation wine country with Thierry. I cannot say enough good things about our guide! Thierry was knowledgeable, charming and humorous. He gave us a great morning in an area he obviously loves. Highly recommend the tour and our guide Thierry.
5Great planning and cute...
Great planning and cute little towns!! The perfect amount of walking around with the group and free time. Very knowledgeable tour guide and nice group!
5Excellent experience
Excellent experience! Our tour guide Carlos was absolutely wonderful! So friendly and knowledgeable. We are a family of six including our kids who are young adults - teens up to 20s. We were paired with two other people. It was a perfect afternoon, seeing the surrounding villages, tasting wines, and getting lots of amazing photos.
5Charming!
Charming villages, good explanations. Lucas was very fluent and it was easy to understand his English.
4Almost perfect for the tour’s duration.
Great tour with a terrific guide. Knowledgeable, fun, accommodating, thanks to our guide, Lucas. Nice van, too, for a total of 7 guests. Our only disappointment was that the tour did not include Riquewihr, as had been advertised. On a previous visit, that was our favorite town in Alsace, and we were really looking forward to visiting it again.

About Colmar
Colmar, in Alsace, is a half-timbered wine town of flower-lined canals and pastel houses, set between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine.
Colmar's old town is a compact maze of half-timbered houses with steep gables, painted in blues, pinks and ochres, around the Church of St Martin. The Maison des Têtes, covered in carved faces, and the Pfister House are among the finest. In Petite Venise, flower-hung houses stand along the Lauch river, and flat-bottomed boats glide beneath the bridges. Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, was born in Colmar.
Top-ranked sights in Colmar: Little Venice (Petite Venise), Unterlinden Museum (Musee Unterlinden), St. Martin's Church (Eglise St-Martin).
