Christian was a superb guide who went above and beyond to ensure we had a unique experience in each beautiful village we stopped at. There was plenty of time for pictures, exploring the markets, eating, and learning with great anecdotes from Christian. The wine tasting was one highlight, as it was very generous and felt personal with our small group. I highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to Colmar for the Christmas season. The villages here are absolutely charming and the tour was excellent! Thanks again, Christian!

El guía estupendo! Puso todo de su parte para que nuestra excursión fuera una grata experiencia. A pesar de que éramos un Grupo que en su mayoría no hablaba francés el intento en todo momento hacerse entender. Como sugerencia, debería darse a los turistas españoles la posibilidad de disponer de audioguias en nuestro idioma.
