    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.

    Great tour. Recommend reservations when stopping for lunch. There was NO ROOM when we stopped and after and hour of wondering from place to place we ate at an outdoor food stand on the ground. Great tour overall, but highly recommend that guides either plan lunch or that guests are informed to plan ahead.

    Touring the castle was very interesting and I enjoyed walking through the villages. I would have liked to have had a short walking tour through at least one of the villages to hear a little more about the history and architecture. During the drives to each village, a few quick photo op stops (10 minutes) just enough time to stop and get out of the bus to snap a picture - such as at the cemetery would have been nice.

    An all-round successful excursion with a very well designed and extensive sightseeing program that gives a good overview of the highlights of the region. Alsace impresses with the surprising beauty of the picturesque places. There is a lot of interesting information about this. At each stop there is enough time to see everything in peace. There is also a lot to discover along the way. A special thank you to the driver, who is also the tour guide, and who guided us through the day in a reliable, professional and friendly manner. I really loved this excursion!
