    A great day

    We had a great day with our driver/guide, Julie. We were well aware that this was not a guided tour in the traditional format, and that suited what we wanted from the day. Julie was a great source of information in a cheerful, welcoming and super-friendly manner. The day was so full of great sights, history unfolding and great food and drink. Thanks Julie :)

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great day exploring Alsace with Julie. We’ll be very happy to share your kind words with her. 😊 Thank you again for choosing Top Drivers, and we hope to welcome you back to Alsace someday!

    Do not book if you want something reliable

    Absolutely unacceptable experience, both with the tour operator and Viator. I booked and paid for this tour a month in advance as a birthday gift for my mom, and we planned our entire day around it. What makes this even worse is that no one contacted me to tell me the tour had been canceled. I had to call Viator myself the morning of the tour to find out what was going on. Had I not called, we would have been left waiting with no idea that the tour had been canceled. Canceling at the last minute is already extremely disappointing, but failing to even notify your customers is completely unacceptable. Viator was also disappointing for allowing a booking made and paid for a month in advance to get to this point without any proper communication or warning. This was supposed to be a special birthday experience for my mom, and instead we were left scrambling to make alternative plans at the very last minute. I would NOT recommend booking this tour, and this experience has also seriously affected my trust in Viator.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. However, we would like to clarify an important point, as we believe our company is being held responsible for a situation that did not originate on our side. We are a partner of Viator, and in our system your booking appeared as “Cancelled by customer.” This is the reason why no driver was scheduled for your tour. This is the first time we have had a customer contact us on the day of departure expecting a tour to operate while their booking was showing as cancelled in our system. All customers whose bookings are shown as “Confirmed” receive their scheduled service and driver. Conversely, when a booking is shown as cancelled, the service is naturally not scheduled. Until your case, we had never received a complaint from a customer whose booking appeared as cancelled but who nevertheless expected a driver to arrive. We fully understand your disappointment, especially as this was intended as a birthday gift for your mother. However, we cannot accept responsibility for a booking that was displayed to us as cancelled. The issue appears to concern the booking status and communication through the Viator platform rather than a failure by our company to provide a confirmed service.

    A day with Julie

    My wife and 2 boys 12/16, I traveled with guide Julie for the day. She was very flexible, made a couple pivots in our itinerary due to traffic and even allowed us to make a short stop on our return. Julie was knowledgeable, super patient and friendly during our entire trip. Thank you so much!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your private tour with Julie. We truly appreciate your kind words

    Excellent tour

    Julie is an excellent tour guide and would highly recommend using. We had a wonderful all day private tour around the countryside of Strausborg.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed your private tour with Julie. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind feedback

    This tour was great! ...

    This tour was great! Loved Chateau Haut-Koenigsburg, such an incredible medieval castle. Riquewihr was absolutely stunning and probably my favorite stop. And Colmar was amazing. Smail was our driver and did an excellent job! Thank you!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg, Riquewihr, and Colmar each made such a great impression on you. Riquewihr is one of my favorite villages too! It was a real pleasure being your driver, and I truly appreciate your kind words. I hope to welcome you back to Alsace for another adventure in the future. Best wishes, Smail

    Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Strasbourg.

    How much does Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr cost?

    +

    Prices start at $559 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 Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 73 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 Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr?

    +

    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 Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr?

    +

    Around 26 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr 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 Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Meals; Alcoholic beverages; and Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr offered in?

    Is Strasbourg: Private tour to Château, Colmar and Riquewihr wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
