Alsace in a Nutshell (from Strasbourg)

4-day Alsace trip based in Strasbourg with one guided minivan day

Authentic Europe runs this 4-day trip to the Alsace region of France, based entirely in Strasbourg. The first two days are independent: day one is arrival, and day two is set aside to explore Strasbourg's Old Town, canals, and the La Petite France district at your own pace. Day three shifts to the one guided part of the trip, a full-day minivan excursion that includes a walking tour of Colmar, a visit to the village of Riquewihr, and a stop at Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle, with time along the Alsace Wine Route in between. Paris is listed as a gateway city for reaching Strasbourg. The trip suits travelers who want a short, self-paced base in one historic French city with a single well-organized day of guided sightseeing into the surrounding wine region, rather than a longer multi-city itinerary.
