Enjoyed the trip. Strasbourg was wonderful. Visited Colmer. WAY too crowded. Lines too long. Not enough restaurants for the crowds. Wouldn't go again!

Yvan was a great tour guide and we had a wonderful time exploring the markets in Freiburg, Basel, and Eguisheum! Great way to see the Christmas markets in three countries in one day!

Yvan was very good in explaining the places given that English is not his 1st language. Overall the program was really good for tourists with limited time to experience many markets in different countries. Only thing is to give advance advice to carry some Swiss francs if planning to buy things in Basel. Not all shops know the euro-francs exchange.

Fairytale experience! A must visit during Christmas. The perfect time to get yourself lost in beautiful cozy streets and experience the majestic Christmas vibe in the Christmas markets. Vin chaud and ciders are must haves.

Didier was amazing!!! We met up at Hotel Bristol in front of the train station, and he took care of everything. He was very friendly, and he walked at various paces to ensure the whole group stayed together. We went to a Christmas Market in Germany, Switzerland and in a small town in France outside of Colmar. The small town was the best one in my opinion, and you are supporting local. He gives you a taste of a local farmers market versus a Christmas market in Germany (try the sausage at the local market), what a grand scale market in Basel is like and then the small town, which is on the Alsacian wine route (there are wine tasting rooms there). Everything was great, and Didier even gave us small historical talks along the way - pointing out important spots along our way. A highlight was the site of the Old Synagogue in Freiburg. It was especially timely when we went as the anniversary just passed. Thank you, Didier, for an amazing adventure! It's very convenient to have someone driving around who knows the area, and it's also great that he gives you time to walk around and explore independently so you can do it at your own speed.
