Our next destination during our European Vacay was Strasbourg a quaint town on the Alsace which is called, the Christmas Capital of the world, and as our agenda to visit Strasbourg was in the winter during the Christmas season, there were dozens of holiday markets and fairs with food, drinks, handcrafted goods, and many decorated Christmas trees with twinkling lights around the town, hence this city has been named as the Christmas Capital of the world, Set on the Rhine, Strasbourg is one of the finest medieval towns in Northeast France. It's also one of the most photogenic places you can visit in Alsace. With its historical monuments and striking architectures and the city's finest building Notre-Dame Cathedral, which is definitely one of the best Cathedral i have ever seen. it was definitely a place worth the visit. We were staying at Hotel Vendome which was just opposite the Railway station, we had a very good view of this small quaint town. We enjoyed walking around this quaint town and the various holiday markets and fairs and trying the various types of food, cakes and delicious wines being sold at the fairs. It is definitely a must visit for Holiday makers traveling around France as its very close to Paris and especially for those traveling France during Christmas, Strasbourg is a must visit to enjoy the Christmas season.

Our tour guide was excellent and very personable. A great tour but very fast! Would have liked to spend more time at each of the places. The medieval castle was definitely the highlight of the tour! It was amazing to imagine how people lived when this castle was originally built. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Great place. Very fun to walk at Christmas time. The whole town is decorated with lots of lights, Christmas decorations all over. Very colorful. There are 6 markets and a lot to see.

The weather was unstable and blustery, but the tour was still a great experience. Colmar, Eguisheim, Riquewihr— all charming and beautiful. But the castle visit was particularly interesting, thanks largely to Laurent’s engaging, amusing, informative patter. New, comfortable vans; good, reliable, and clear communication with management; excellent guides. A great chance to see more of Alsace!

Excellent tour. So much better in a small group Our guide Pauline was excellent. A wealth of information, engaging and helpful on other aspects of thing you may want to know The towns are truely fairly tale The castle… very good Highly recommended

We visited three small wineries with fantastic wines and also had about an hour an half to explore and/or have lunch in the quaint town of Ribeauville, home of Trimbach Winery - fabulous Riesling if you can find a bottle. Our guide, Laurent, was great! She was very informative and did a wonderful job of coordinating all the locations and providing a stress free shipping option for any wine you purchased that day. Superb!!

Really enjoyed exploring the outskirts of Strasbourg on this one day tour of the Alsace region. Robin our driver/guide was excellent - super friendly, humorous and very knowledgeable about local history. He showed us around Colmar and was a walking encyclopedia of medieval life at Chateau Koenigsbourg. We drove to four spots - Colmar, Eguisheim, Riquewihr and Chateau Koenigsbourg. Favorite places were Eguisheim with its quaint fairytale houses and Chateau Koenigsbourg with its medieval rooms. Would not have been able to see all this on our own as they are quite spread out. Really liked the group size too - only 6 people which gave us time to see more without needing to wait too long for others. Highly recommend it!

We enjoyed the city, food and snow in Colmar. We had a great time and took so many photos there. I will go again in this city.

What a fabulous trip and I would definitely recommend. Our guide Pauline was so knowledgeable and gave us so much information about the Alsace region that we would never have found out ourselves. The trip itself was great and we loved seeing all the places we visited.... I'm sure we would never have found these ourselves. We loved Colmar so much that we booked a train and visited again during our holiday. Thanks Pauline as you were brilliant....on your recommendations, I now know that I love Malana's (traditional brioche bread shaped like a man!), Cremant....which is the same as champagne but cannot be called champagne and we had the best meal at the lovely and oldest restaurant in Strasbourg which again Pauline told us about - so thank you so much! If you are visiting Strasbourg....I would definitely recommend doing this trip.

Florence took us on a wonderful trip into the small wine villages of Alsace. We met the wine makers and tasted amazing wines. This is s great half day trip while in Strasbourg.

It was a fantastic experience visiting two very different Christmas Market's. Our guide was excellent and provided a fantastic experience

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. With a great tour guide who didn't rush us at any time, so we had plenty of time to take good photo's.

Our tour guide Maxim was excellent very knowledgeable and offered detailed information on history and wines was a real pleasure!

An absolutely terrific day out - I’m so pleased we booked this. Magical little villages, and the most magnificent castle at the end of the trip. Thierry was a fantastic guide, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. We visited the castle at sunset and on a day when it sat above the clouds, resulting in breathtaking views from the top. Highly recommended. Craig and Jason

Laurent was absolutely brilliant - warm, friendly, engaging, and went out of his way to show us some fantastic viewpoints around the region. We had a wonderful time, and I would highly recommend the experience to others. Thanks also for organising such fantastic warm weather for us in October - much appreciated!! Craig and Jason
