It was a wonderful experience to get to know Alsace in this way. I liked it very much and am taking very beautiful impressions home with me. The driver, who was also the tour guide, was very competent and very friendly. So for me, this day trip was definitely worth it. I was very impressed.

Such a fun trip! Perfect amount of time per stop and we hit all the right spots! The convertible bus was fun too! Our tour guide, Sebastien, really stole the show though. He had a ton of interesting facts and ultimately made the tour worth it! I totally recommend this!
Dear Guest, Wow, "Best tour guide EVER!" – what an incredible compliment! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your fantastic experience on Viator. We are absolutely thrilled that you had such a fun trip and that the pacing, the selection of villages, and our unique convertible bus all hit the perfect spot for you. We will definitely pass along your glowing words to Sébastien. He loves sharing his knowledge and passion for the region, and knowing that his interesting facts and energy "stole the show" will mean the world to him. He truly works hard to make every tour memorable! Thank you again for your highest recommendation. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back on board Tour.Alsace for another unforgettable day! Warmest regards, The Tour.Alsace Team
This was a great tour from beginning to end. The minibus was comfortable and AC was good, they gave out water, and the multilingual headphones were good. Each stop offered a great experience (alone time) with enough time to explore. The only confusing point is the pickup. Don’t go by the exact address in Google Maps. Get to the bus station and find the parking lot with the Flix buses. Other than that, everything was smooth, and good value for your money.
Dear guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience on TripAdvisor! We are thrilled to hear that you had a smooth and enjoyable tour from beginning to end, and that you found it to be a great value for your money. It is wonderful to know that our minibus comfort, refreshing AC, complimentary water, and multilingual audio guides met your expectations, while providing you with the perfect amount of free time to explore each village at your own pace. We also truly appreciate your helpful note regarding the pickup location. The Strasbourg Place de l'Étoile bus station can indeed be tricky on navigation apps, and your advice to look for the FlixBus parking area will definitely help future travelers find us easily. Thank you again for choosing Tour.Alsace. We would be delighted to welcome you back on board for another great journey! Best regards, The Tour.Alsace Team
As part of our itinerary through Strasbourg and the Alsace region, we had booked this magnificent tour with our provider in Montevideo, Uruguay. As is our custom, we received the voucher in advance, with all the details about the route, the towns we would visit, and the duration. Although our provider purchased this tour from CIVITATIS, upon arriving at the meeting point in Strasbourg, we were greeted by an official, the driver of a minibus from the company TOUR.ALSACE. He informed us that he would only fulfill the role of driver and provide us with information on how to get around each city and where to meet in front of the bus. The rest depended on an audio guide, in several languages. I must point out that the tour was very enjoyable based solely on discovering the wonderful sites of Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr, and Kaysersberg on our own. The last town was Colmar, with the unfortunate experience that the driver took us without any choice to a little train with an audio guide that toured Colmar in one hour. How much better it would have been if we had used the 2 hours we had in Colmar to walk around its main attractions. On the other hand, when we were at the beginning of the tour, visiting the Castle of Koenigsbourg, we exited through the wrong door, which led us to not find the bus. The driver called me twice to see where we were, and I had to send him a location photo so that he could come to pick us up. It was a horrible moment!!! In summary, read the fine print before purchasing a tour to know every detail. The audio guide is useless!!! It distracts, as it provides information with countless historical dates that are impossible to remember. How much better it would be if the company Tour.alsace sought another alternative for having a driver-guide with better manners than the one assigned for the tour we took. Corollary: the tour is wonderful. But one must see with whom it is done.
Estimado/a akiva2016, Agradecemos que haya tomado el tiempo de compartir detalladamente su experiencia. Nos alegra saber que, a pesar de los imprevistos, disfrutó de la indiscutible belleza de los pueblos alsacianos y del Castillo de Haut-Kœnigsbourg. Permítanos aclarar algunos puntos importantes para el beneficio de nuestros futuros viajeros: 1. Formato del Tour (Audioguía): Como bien menciona en su comentario, siempre es fundamental revisar las condiciones de lo que se contrata. Tour.Alsace ofrece circuitos de un día con un formato muy claro y transparente: un conductor profesional encargado de la logística, la seguridad y de dar las indicaciones prácticas en cada parada, acompañado de un sistema de audioguía integrado para la información histórica. Lamentamos que este formato no haya sido de su preferencia personal, pero es el que está explitamente descrito en las plataformas de nuestros socios de venta como Civitatis. 2. El Tren Turístico en Colmar: La parada en Colmar está pensada para dar un vistazo general a la ciudad. El recorrido en el pequeño tren es una actividad que está totalmente incluida de forma gratuita en nuestra excursión para optimizar el tiempo y conocer los puntos clave sin cansancio. Lamentamos si hubo un malentendido, pero en ningún caso era una obligación: los clientes que prefieren descubrir la ciudad caminando son totalmente libres de hacerlo a su propio ritmo durante esas dos horas. 3. Incidente en el Castillo: Respecto al momento en que se extraviaron en el Castillo de Haut-Kœnigsbourg, lamentamos el estrés que esto les causó. Sin embargo, nuestro conductor actuó con total responsabilidad y profesionalidad: al notar su ausencia a la hora del reencuentro, se puso en contacto con usted de manera proactiva y acudió a buscarlos basándose en su foto para asegurarse de que no se quedaran atrás y de que el circuito pudiera continuar de forma segura para todo el grupo. Tomamos nota de sus observaciones sobre la gestión del tiempo y la información de la audioguía para seguir mejorando. Le deseamos un feliz resto de su viaje por Europa. Atentamente, El equipo de Tour.Alsace
Excellent experience; the guide was phenomenal, attentive, friendly, and very professional. The van was very comfortable.
Estimado Mauricio, ¡Muchísimas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu experiencia en Viator! Nos alegra de corazón saber que tuviste una experiencia excelente y que recomiendas tanto nuestro tour por Alsacia. Nos hace mucha ilusión leer tus palabras sobre el guía, ¡un verdadero fenómeno! Le transmitiremos de inmediato tus elogios, ya que su cordialidad, atención y profesionalidad son exactamente lo que buscamos ofrecer a nuestros pasajeros. Nos alegra también que viajaras con tanta comodidad en nuestra combi. Fue un placer tenerte a bordo y esperamos volver a recibirte en el futuro para seguir descubriendo hermosos lugares juntos. ¡Un saludo muy cordial! El equipo de Tour.Alsace
Enjoyed this trip very much, glad we saw a part of the Alsace region. Didn't feel rushed, Martin was great, attentive and helpful.
Dear Melinda, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience on Viator! We absolutely love your title, "Xmas in June"—it is true that the fairytale charm of the Alsace region and villages like Riquewihr and Kaysersberg makes it feel a bit like Christmas all year round! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the journey and felt you had plenty of time to explore at a relaxed pace. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Martin. He will be thrilled to know that his attentiveness and helpfulness contributed to making your day trip so memorable. Thank you again for your lovely review. We hope to welcome you back on board someday—perhaps during the actual Christmas market season next time! Warm regards, The Tour.Alsace Team
The tour to the Black Forest was wonderful. Daniel demonstrated a lot of knowledge about all the beautiful places we passed, in addition to having a lot of patience in translating into different languages and kindness with the customers. We definitely recommend.
Querida Lucia, Muito obrigado por partilhar a sua experiência no Viator! Ficamos muito felizes por saber que o passeio à Floresta Negra foi maravilhoso e que a viagem foi um sucesso. No entanto, há um pequeno detalhe curioso: embora adoremos levar os nossos clientes à Floresta Negra, não temos nenhum guia chamado Daniel na equipa da Tour.Alsace! Acreditamos que tenha feito mais do que um passeio durante as suas férias e que este excelente elogio seja, na verdade, direcionado ao guia de outra empresa com a qual viajou. De qualquer forma, agradecemos a sua simpatia e avaliação positiva. Se um dia quiser voltar para explorar mais segredos da nossa região ou da Alsácia, as portas dos nossos autocarros estarão sempre abertas para si! Melhores cumprimentos, A Equipa Tour.Alsace
Great tour. Gorgeous locations, time to explore, comfortable bus and reasonable price. Highly recommend!
Dear Laurie, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience on TripAdvisor! We absolutely love the title of your review—capturing the "perfect blend of scenery, relaxation, gastronomy, and history" is exactly what we strive for every single day. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the gorgeous locations, found our coaches comfortable, and felt you had plenty of time to explore each stop at your own pace. Knowing that you found the tour to be a great value is the best reward for our team. Thank you once again for your high recommendation. We would be thrilled to welcome you back on board for another wonderful journey through Alsace in the future! Warm regards, The Tour.Alsace Team
