The history and colors of Alsace - The information from Jerome, our guide, and the castle plus the quaint villages. The host and wines at Ernest Brun Winery were wonderful. We bought some. The colors and structures of the buildings within the old fortified walls were intriguing

Beautiful landscape, a castle and wine tasting. What could be better. - Thierry was an exceptional guide, sharing his vast knowledge of the history of the castle, region and vineyards. It was a day well spent seeing the surrounding beauty outside of Colmar. So glad I took this tour. An added bonus was that the storks had returned to their nesting ground in the Alsace cities that we visited.

Great tour with a fantastic guide. - We had a great tour and Amelie was very knowledgeable in the history of the area, the towns we visited and the architecture. Our final stop at the winery to do a tasting was even more special because Amelie had given us a tour through a vineyard and shared some of her vast knowledge of local wines.

Perfect Alsace Experience - Our group of 6 had a wonderful day on the Alsace Gems tour - the small towns were exactly what we wanted to see. We also enjoyed touring the castle at the start, and the wine tasting in Colmar at the end. Jerome from Ophorus was an outstanding guide - extremely knowledgeable and personable. The tour was better than any of us expected because of Jerome. The day went very smoothly - we all highly recommend this tour.
