We enjoyed our tour with Orlane
chrisz154, September 2026
We enjoyed our tour with Orlane. She drove us 30 mins to Colmar all while talking about his history, culture, and sites along the Alsace wine road - she was very knowledgable and made the ride fun. She had a microphone so everyone could hear her well and the van had great A/C. we then did a lunch stop in Riquewihr and then finished w Orlane's guided tour of the the Chateau/castle that we enjoyed. It was a great way to see a lot of the region conveniently.

Too Rushed
Diane_L, September 2026
Too rushed, lunch should be in Colmar, disn’t even get to walk around the other small town, where we were to eat lunch
Response from the operator · ophorustours Bonjour Diane_L
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour felt rushed.
Just to clarify, lunch is scheduled in Riquewihr rather than Colmar. We were not informed that one of the villages was missed during the day, so we can only assume that the itinerary may have been adjusted to accommodate the group’s needs or requests.
We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team.
Kind regards,
Carole

Taina_C, September 2026
Villages in Alsace are gorgeous and the castle is breathtaking. Our guide Jérôme (a local Alsatian) was kind, knowledgeable and shared the love for his home. I enjoyed the small, intimate tour size. Was able to chat with fellow guests and had a lovely time. I made sure to thank Jérôme for ensuring we had perfect weather on our tour date. It is a must when you visit Strasbourg!
