5.00Since moving to Strasbourg, this trip was high on my list. Colmar is even more picturesque in person – 'Little Venice' is a dream! We also visited Eguisheim and Riquewihr, which felt like stepping into a movie set. The tour was well-paced, though the stairs at the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle can be a bit of a workout (tip: wear comfy shoes!). Our guide was lovely and the small group made it easy to ask questions. The only 'OK' part was the lunch break – it felt a bit rushed, so maybe grab a quick snack to have more time for exploring. Still, 10/10 experience! This trip is best for solo travelers or couples who appreciate a well-organized, small-group atmosphere. Keep in mind that the admission fee for the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle (around 12€) wasn't included in the tour price, so have some extra cash or your card ready.
