“What a fabulous day! Cristian went above and beyond to ensure we all had a fantastic experience. Informative, efficient and ensured our two young children were also comfortable along the journey. Navigating the busy Christmas market traffic, he got us to the ‘front door’ each time and was ready to take us to the next destination every time. A special mention - at the spur of the moment, he even organised a restaurant reservation for the whole group to dine together, which was lovely. Highly recommended.”

See Christmas markets in Basel, Freiburg, and Eguisheim on an 8-hour small-group trip from Colmar, with cross-border travel and free time.

“This really should be called a shuttle service. There was not enough history or information given about any of the places to be anything other than that. The first stop we made was quite pointless and everyone was confused about what we were doing. Our guide was very nice and had his hands full with some of the other guests. He managed it well.
