Full description Experience the magic of Christmas in Alsace on a full-day small-group tour departing from Colmar. Travel in a comfortable luxury minivan accompanied by an English-speaking driver-guide, enjoying a personalized and exclusive service. This journey will allow you to discover three of the most picturesque villages in the region, where history, tradition, and festive spirit come together to create an unforgettable experience.

The day begins in Obernai, a charming town where colorful half-timbered houses line narrow cobbled streets leading to its historic market square. There, you can stroll through its traditional Christmas market, admire the typical decorations, and soak up the warm, joyful atmosphere that defines this time of year in Alsace.

Next, you’ll continue along the famous Alsace Wine Route, a scenic drive that winds through rolling vineyard hills and charming rural villages. Along the way, you’ll discover the region’s winemaking heritage, traditional architecture, and postcard-worthy landscapes that capture the cultural and natural essence of Alsace.

Your next stop will be Riquewihr, known as the “Pearl of the Alsace Vineyards.” This perfectly preserved medieval village seems frozen in time, with cobblestone streets, historic ramparts, and timbered houses decorated with festive lights and garlands. You’ll have time to explore its lively Christmas market, sample artisanal products, and immerse yourself in the enchanting and traditional holiday atmosphere.

The tour concludes in Eguisheim, a picturesque circular village that looks like something out of a fairy tale. Its concentric streets, colorful facades, and flower-filled courtyards create a unique setting — especially during the Christmas season, when lights, aromas, and local treats transform the town into a true winter wonderland. This small-group tour offers the perfect way to experience the Christmas spirit of Alsace, blending history, culture, and festive joy in a magical and beautiful day.
