Personalized 2‑Hour Private Experience
This 2‑hour tour is completely private, so your guide can adapt the pace and focus—whether you prefer history, architecture, or everyday local life.

Reviews
Medoc Wine Tour - I had a lovely afternoon with a very intimate group of 3. Oscar our guide was able to speak with knowledge of the areas we visited as well as Bordeaux. He presented us with some additional historical visuals of the sites. The winery hosts were also great with great knowledge of their products which were very tasty. Thoroughly recommend.
At our first stop, we enjoyed 3 out of the 4 beverages we sampled, but not enough to purchase bottles. At the second stop, the wines were not well appreciated by our group, although the atmosphere was interesting. Our driver/guide was informative and had a very good sense of humor.
We had an amazing wine tour from Colmar, including Haut-Koenigsbourg and a couple of beautiful little Alsatian villages. The whole experience was fantastic, but the highlight was definitely our guide, Thierry. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Alsatian history, had a fantastic sense of humor, and made the entire day so much fun. Thierry truly made our day, cheers to him! Highly recommended!
