About this experience
From Strasbourg, you will discover the famous charm of Alsatian villages and visit the 3 villages of Eguisheim, Kaysersberg & Riquewihr. We will spend the day on the Alsatian wine routes. We will visit the three famous villages, but during the day we will cross several other typical and very pretty villages.
We love wines, and that's why we included in this day trip 2 Wine Tasting, the first one in Eguisheim before lunch, and the second one in Riquewihr at the end of afternoon.
For lunch, we don't want you to eat a sandwich while walking on the street. We choosed a traditional restaurant. We will be sitting at the table together. The price is not included so you can take what you want at reasonable cost. A dish and a drink around 20/25 EUR per pers.
We don't like to rush, that's why we created this day-trip with a Slow-Travel spirit and for your small group, max 6 pax. If you want to discover the real Picturesque Alsace, like you see on postcard, you will love this full day-trip.
