Tour description

The first part of your Alsatian adventure takes you to the Kintzheim area before you visit Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg (castle entry included in the price of your tour).

At the end of this unforgettable trip, we’ll continue our Haut-Rhin journey by passing through unmissable villages on the Wine Route whose unspoilt settings you’ll love: Bergheim, Ribeauvillé and Hunawihr

Then you’ll have a well-earned lunch break in the heart of the famous Riquewihr village and time to explore on foot.

Your tour continues with a trip to the famous wine-producing villages of Benwihr, Sigolsheim and Kientzheim (with an “e” to set it apart from its Bas-Rhin homophone) plus a stop for you to visit Kaysersberg, undoubtedly one of Alsace’s most beautiful villages.

We’ll pop through Ammerschwihr before heading to the stunning town of Colmar and its little Venice which you can visit on board the little tourist train with commentary in your language (little train tour included in the price of your tour, the train doesn’t run in November and December).

Then it’s time to head back to Strasbourg bringing your action-packed and unforgettable Alsatian adventure to an end.
