Excellent day! Plenty of...
Excellent day! Plenty of time to explore four villages on the wine route, each distinctive and interesting. My husband walks very slowly, and the guide was very attentive and solicitors. We were very tired by the time we got back to the hotel but felt the time was very well spent.

Very good
Mahmout who drove us on Sunday was extremely kind, helpful and informative

Beautiful locations.
The places we visited were beautiful and we visited a lot of places. And had enough time in each place. But don’t expect a tour guide who would explain things to you. It’s more like a driver service where you get dropped off and given free time. The guide didn’t speak good English. There was no humorous commentary or anything like that. I also think we should have gone to Colmar first instead of at the end of the day when it was getting dark.

Perfect day trip around Alsace!
This was perfect. Not too long anywhere and not too short. Enough time to walk around the castle, spend some time in the cities and shop and dine. Beautiful clean bus, multilingual driver that and beautiful views. Martin (our driver) was attentive and would occasional pass us in the town and make recommendations. Very professional and nice. He would pause the bus at the stops/sites along. The way, look up and make sure everyone had gotten photos if they wanted before he proceeded. Great experience!
Response from the operator: Dear Alanna, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review on Viator about the Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg day trip! We are absolutely delighted to hear you found the day perfect, with just the right amount of time at the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg and in the villages to stroll, shop and dine. It’s also wonderful to know you enjoyed the clean, comfortable bus and the beautiful views along the way. Martin’s attentiveness, his recommendations in town, and the care he takes to make sure everyone has had time to take their photos before moving on are exactly the touches we’re proud of. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to him! Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on board Tour.Alsace in the future! Warmest regards, The Tour.Alsace Team

An Excellent Day Trip
We had a delightful day. This is a long trip - we left at 9 and returned at 7.30 and that meant we had plenty of time at each stop. Each visit was stunning and the 4 main stops were supplemented by dries through a range of other pretty villages. A great way to get a feel for the environment outside Strasbourg. HIghly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review on Tripadvisor about the Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg day trip! We are delighted to hear you had such a delightful day. Although it is a full day on the road, we’re glad it left you plenty of time at each stop, and that you enjoyed the four main visits as well as the drives through the other pretty villages along the way. It’s wonderful to know this was a great way for you to get a feel for the Alsace countryside beyond Strasbourg. Thank you again for your high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back on board Tour.Alsace in the future! Warmest regards, The Tour.Alsace Team

Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Strasbourg.
How much does Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Strasbourg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Strasbourg is not rushed.
Is Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 205 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Strasbourg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg?
+
Around 72 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Strasbourg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Strasbourg and add a light layer if any part of the 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Strasbourg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Strasbourg?
+
On Outty we rank every Strasbourg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Strasbourg Food Tour - A Taste of Tradition by Do Eat Better, Strasbourg: small group walking tour between history and curiosities, Colmar, Medieval Village & Castle Small Group from Strasbourg. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Strasbourg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Strasbourg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg?
+
Included: On-board WiFi; Visit of the Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Parking fees. Not included: Lunch; Alcoholic beverages; Gratuities; and Transfer to and from the hotel. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, German, Russian, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, English, Italian, French, Hebrew and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Day trip: Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg?
+
