  • 4We enjoyed our tour with Orlane

    We enjoyed our tour with Orlane. She drove us 30 mins to Colmar all while talking about his history, culture, and sites along the Alsace wine road - she was very knowledgable and made the ride fun. She had a microphone so everyone could hear her well and the van had great A/C. we then did a lunch stop in Riquewihr and then finished w Orlane's guided tour of the the Chateau/castle that we enjoyed. It was a great way to see a lot of the region conveniently.

    Too rushed, lunch should be in Colmar, disn’t even get to walk around the other small town, where we were to eat lunch

  • 5Don't hesitate...book the tour!

    Villages in Alsace are gorgeous and the castle is breathtaking. Our guide Jérôme (a local Alsatian) was kind, knowledgeable and shared the love for his home. I enjoyed the small, intimate tour size. Was able to chat with fellow guests and had a lovely time. I made sure to thank Jérôme for ensuring we had perfect weather on our tour date. It is a must when you visit Strasbourg!

    We had a great time with our fault on day trip to Colmar and H-K castle. Our tour guide Francesco was very informative and engaging through our the day. The trip was a blast for all of our family members from age 5 to 70.
