We had a wonderful time! The transportation on the open air bus was perfect to see the countryside. Loved the headset that gave history in English. Our driver was great.

Full description

The tour begins with departure from Strasbourg bus station and heads to the first stop of the day, historical Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle. Upon arrival, admire the building’s architecture, learn about the people who once lived here, and marvel at the castle's stunning views across the Black Forest.

After the castle, the open-top bus follows the famous Alsace Wine Route, making a stop at one of the region's most well-preserved medieval villages along the way, Riquewihr. Spend some free time wandering through the village’s picturesque streets, shop at a local store for a souvenir, or find a cozy restaurant for lunch.

The tour continues to Kaysersberg next, to marvel at its beautiful fortified bridge nestled amongst the quaint village surroundings. Your day trip finishes with a visit to Colmar, a unique and endearing country town.

We had a wonderful day trip with Tour Alsace. Everything was well organised, transportation was comfortable and scenic with the convertible roof. Ample time allocated for each stop. Sebastian was forthcoming with information and advice throughout the day. Highly recommended!
