Kehl to Alsace Treasures – Private Day Tour for Rhine River Cruise Guests

Disembark your cruise at Kehl and experience the very soul of Alsace on a private full-day exploration of its most historic and picturesque sites. This tour unveils a tapestry of vibrant medieval villages, colorful architecture, and centuries-old legends, all guided by a local expert uniquely attuned to Alsace's rich heritage.

You’ll wander the enchanting lanes of Colmar, famed for its “Little Venice” canal district, half-timbered houses, and lively markets reflecting its Franco-German roots. The tour continues through rolling vineyards to Riquewihr, often called one of the most beautiful villages in France, whose ramparts and pastel facades are straight out of a fairy tale. Your journey culminates at the majestic Haut Koenigsbourg Castle, perched high above the Alsace plain. Step inside this restored 12th-century fortress for sweeping views, deep history, and tales of knights and nobility.

Throughout your day, expect cultural anecdotes, insights into local crafts and culinary specialties, and opportunities for artisan tastings or lunch in a traditional restaurant. As a private experience limited to your group (up to 8 guests), you’ll set the pace, ask questions, and enjoy the freedom to immerse yourself in Alsace’s unique atmosphere—a privilege not available on standard large-bus excursions.
