Alsace in a Nutshell

4-day Strasbourg-based Alsace tour with a guided Colmar and castle day trip

Authentic Europe runs this 4-day, 3-night Alsace in a Nutshell tour based entirely in Strasbourg, Alsace's historic capital. After arriving on day 1, day 2 is free time to explore Strasbourg's Old Town, its canals and the La Petite France district at your own pace. Day 3 is the tour's centerpiece, a full-day guided excursion by minivan that includes a guided walking tour of Colmar, a visit to the village of Riquewihr, travel along the Alsace Wine Route, and a stop at the Haut Koenigsbourg Castle, before returning to Strasbourg for a third night. The trip ends with departure from Strasbourg on day 4. Accommodation is a standard hotel room with breakfast, and the package also includes travel documentation and 24/7 emergency phone service. This suits travelers who want a short, single-base introduction to Alsace with one full day of guided sightseeing and a free day to explore Strasbourg independently.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has held at €375 every time.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.
