Private Sightseeing Excursion through the Alsace Region
This highly recommended full-day tour is designed for travelers who want to make the most of their stay in Alsace. Our Pearls of Alsace itinerary combines what we consider the region’s essential highlights, including charming towns, traditional villages, impressive monuments, and major historical landmarks.
Departure from Strasbourg
In the morning, your English-speaking driver/guide will pick you up at your centrally located accommodation in Strasbourg. After presenting the program and itinerary for the day, you will board your comfortable, air‑conditioned vehicle and set off on a full‑day tour that showcases the very best of Alsace.
Discover exquisite Colmar
Your first stop is the beautiful town of Colmar. On arrival, follow your guide on a walking tour through one of France’s most picturesque small towns. Discover the charm of the old town and its prestigious monuments, including the Pfister House, the Koïfhus, and Saint‑Martin Collegiate Church, as well as the postcard‑perfect districts of Little Venice and the former tanners’ quarter.
Visit Riquewihr and enjoy free time for lunch
Next, continue to the fortified village of Riquewihr. Protected by its ramparts, this wine village has been remarkably preserved, with narrow streets, timber‑framed houses, and defensive walls that still reflect its 16th‑century golden age. Enjoy some free time to explore at your own pace, browse shops and wine cellars, and have lunch in one of the many traditional restaurants or winstubs.
Panoramic views along the Alsace Wine Route
In the afternoon, follow a scenic section of the Alsace Wine Route. Nestled between the Rhine plain and the Vosges mountains, this legendary route winds for over 170 kilometres through rolling vine‑covered hills and picturesque villages. As you drive, admire church steeples rising above clusters of flower‑decked half‑timbered houses and enjoy superb panoramic views over the vineyards and valleys.
Visit the mighty castle of Haut‑Koenigsbourg
Finally, reach the impressive Haut‑Koenigsbourg Castle, perched high above the plain. Follow your guide on a tour of this reconstructed medieval fortress, originally built in the 12th century on a strategic site overlooking key trade routes for wine, wheat, and salt. Explore its drawbridge, courtyards, ramparts, and furnished rooms as you learn about its turbulent history and commanding position over the region.
Return to Strasbourg & optional wine tasting
After your visit of Haut‑Koenigsbourg, relax on the drive back to Strasbourg, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation. As this is a private tour, your guide can also help arrange a wine tasting stop during the day if you would like to sample some of the renowned white wines of Alsace along the route.

Additional information
This tour is ideal for curious adults who want a full, but relaxed, day discovering Alsace’s villages, wines and castles with a local expert rather than on a big bus. It’s especially suited to couples, small groups of friends, and first‑time visitors based in Strasbourg who enjoy walking cobbled streets, visiting historic sites like Haut‑Koenigsbourg, and tasting Alsace wines along the route. Travelers should have good basic mobility, since there are slopes, stairs and uneven surfaces in Colmar, Riquewihr and at the castle.
