My husband and I just returned from a trip to the beautiful Alsace region in France. Our guide Matt was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely enjoyable to spend a day with. He asked what we were interested in and then tailored the day to our interests. He worked around the early morning fog and the day flew by. Book with Matt, you will not be disappointed!

BEAUTIFUL MEDIEVAL VILLAGE IN ALSACE
All our tours are very flexible! It’s also possible to go to Colmar … Or anywhere you want in the area if you have expectations. Or just follow our lead :-)
While we typically love showing you the more intimate, less crowded villages of Alsace (that's where the real magic happens! ), we understand that Petite Venise in Colmar is a sight many travelers wish to experience. And we get it - it's pretty special! This picturesque quarter, with its colorful half-timbered houses reflecting in the gentle waters of the River Lauch, feels like stepping into a postcard. The area was historically home to Colmar's fishermen and wine merchants, which explains its charming waterside architecture. We can include a stop here during your tour, allowing you to capture those Instagram-worthy photos and soak in the atmosphere. However, trust us when we say the real treasures await in the quieter villages beyond - that's where we'll show you the authentic Alsace that most tourists never see!

We had am excellant day out with Stephane. We took his advise and avoided areas that were very busy and he took us to some little gems. He is very knowledgeable, the surprise of an Doff Cremant apero in a little village was special. Cannot recommend Stephane enough and the company, great communications and resonable prices - We loved it,
Wonderful experience with a tremendous guide. Matt was fun, knowledgeable, interesting, knew the area well, helped us with translations, was respectful of time, flexible and we saw everything we wanted to see and more.
If I could rate this tour higher than a 5 , I would. We took a Steph on Tour private tour of the villages of Alsace with our guide and driver Christoff. Christoff did an amazing job passionately providing insights during the trip. What so impressed us were the special "secret" places that he took us to that were off the main travel circut. This added to our overall experience as these were places we could have never discovered on our own. We included three main villages, a picnic lunch a private wine tasting as well as the little known places. The pace was excellent and we did not feel rushed. In addition, this tour group is very flexible and will taylor the itinerary to your specifications. We decided to take Christoff's recommendations and were so glad that we did. Christoff truly made the trip remarkable. I can highly recommend this tour group.
This was such a great experience! Christophe, our guide, was an excellent driver, and he took us to all the places we wanted to go. He included lots of hidden gems that we would not have otherwise seen. He was a wealth of information about the area and French culture. I highly recommend this tour!
Using Steph On Tour is the best way to see the Alsace region - hands down. They’re professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and most importantly safe. Christophe was our driver and worked very hard to make our vacation special and memorable
Christophe was an excellent host and guide. He took us to a few places that were off of the normal tourist path. A beautiful church and a park. Took us to two wineries for tastings. A huge castle. And a great lunch of local foods in an old style basement resturant. We highly recommend this tour. Lastly, he made it easy for my wife who has mobility problems.
Christophe was the best guide we have ever had! Extremely knowledgeable and perfect at tailoring the day to match our desires.
We have a fantastic tour of Alsace region with Christophe. Well planned, organized, detailed and fun. He knew all the best villages and outstanding knowledge of history, people and culture. Highly recommended!!!
Christophe was absolutely incredible! You can tell this isn’t a job for him; he is so proud and knowledgeable of this area. My husband and I were blown away by all the hidden gems throughout Alsace. We saw historic churches, castles and fairytale villages. The food Christophe recommended was amazing and the wine he had us taste was the best we’ve ever had (we bought five bottles to bring back to the US — it was so good!!) We cannot thank Christophe enough for his professionalism from beginning to end and also the incredible car we got to drive in! This was the highlight of our entire France trip! 10/10 you have to book with Christophe!
Wow! This was one of the best tours we have ever done in Europe. Stephan was incredible from the beginning as we FaceTimed together so that he could understand what we wanted to see. He made sure to tailor the trip to our interests. We then met Christophe, our guide. Christophe is super knowledgeable, smart and friendly. He made this trip special - with his local knowledge of his “ hidden gems” - areas we would never know about or see without him. We learned so much about the history of the region, its people and culture that we came away truly loving this region of France/ Alsace. From the churches, to The Castle, to the fairytale villages, Christophe had planned the day perfectly - right down to the very best angles to take the most incredible pictures. And the Tesla was a great car for touring- very comfortable. So much better than being jammed into a van with a bunch of other people. Christophe had bottled water for us, umbrellas for the sprinkles, and a wonderful bottle of sparkling wine at a gorgeous picnic spot. We only wish we could do the Black Forest Tour with him this trip- but alas, that will have to wait till the next time we visit. Be on the lookout for the storks! Enjoy your tour- it is worth every dollar!
Thank you very much for 2 special days touring the Alasce region and the Black Forest. Christophe is an excellent guide; he is on time, friendly, and shares lots of information about the places you visit. He is local and his passion for the region is evident. During the day in Alsace, we had fun visiting villages, churches and two wineries as well as a couple of hidden gems(which we would have never found on our own!). Christophe even pointed out the storks! : - ) The day in the Black Forest had so many interesting stops-we really enjoyed ourselves. Steph-On-Tour is so easy to work with and developed customized experiences for us, including pickup at our hotel in Colmar and reservations for delicious lunches both days. On a side note, the Tesla is a great car and Christophe is a safe driver. We felt like we started our 2 days with a tour guide and were lucky enough to have a new friend by the end of our time together. We highly recommend these tours. Merci Beaucoup!
Christophe was knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely fun to travel with. My kids (24 and 20) loved him too. Born and raised in Alsace, he knew the region the way a guidebook never could. Prompt, safe behind the wheel, and the Tesla was spotless. We’d book him again without a second thought.
A wonderful experience with a wonderful guide. We saw a number of hidden gems in the region. Locations that were not full of tourists
My husband and I spent the day touring the Black Forest and Baden Baden with Christophe. It is a lovely area and Christophe explained the Alsacian area with it's French and German history and traditions. Christophe is a an excellent guide. His English is great and he is very knowledgeable about the area and made the day fly by. The Tesla was a comfortable car and he is a safe driver. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, nice lunch in Baden Baden and gorgeous scenery in the Black Forest. I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Christophe. He goes above and beyond!
Wonderful experience. Stephan was a perfect guide. We learned lots about the Alsace area tasted the regional wine explored several small towns. A full day comfy luxury van. Truly a one of a kind experience that he catered to our interests.
Excellent experience- we found it to be the most efficient means of comfortable travel between two cities -a relaxed way in which to discover tiny, picturesque villages, (entering prior to the onslaught of the tour buses), private wine tastings, and a castle - with a lovely, professional driver/tour guide. We normally utilize trains for transportation in Europe, but the scheduling of said trains in the Alsace region was at times illogical and involved a huge consumption of precious wasted vacation time- by utilizing Steph's services (and splitting the cost between two couples) we instead enjoyed a fascinating and quite lovely day- seeing sights that we would have missed and experiences that cannot happen when just traveling by rail. We found that the company was extremely easy and professional to deal with- from inital contact to constant interactions and communication from management and the driver. We highly recommend this company.
We had an amazing experience with our private tour guide in Alsace. They took us to some truly special places we never would have discovered on our own, and their knowledge and passion made the whole trip even more memorable. Everything felt personal, relaxed, and thoughtfully planned. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a unique and authentic experience!
Spent a memorable day exploring Alsace, visiting a medieval castle and the Fairytale village of Riquewihr. Our Host- Christophe was an extremely warm person who patiently gave personalised attention to each of us. Loved the little impromptu surprise 🍷 he treated us to outside a lovely castle and how he helped us with his suggestions on restaurants and eateries in Riquewihr. Best of all was this lesser known and lesser visited Church that he showed us which was not part of the itinerary. Thanks a lot team
So wonderful. Beautifully looked after and truly enjoyed the historical insights. The whole tour was personalized and we had the best time. Thank you steph
We had an amazing day with Christophe. He showed us around several villages, a castle, and some special “secret” places. We even had a private wine tasting. With him being from the area he had so much wonderful information. My family and I had one of the best days.
I had the pleasure of an excellent tour of Alsace with Stefania. It was a wonderful and well planned itinerary and she was an excellent and knowledgable tour guide. The variety of experiences - villages, historical sites, wine tasting etc. was great. I travelled with my mom who has some mobility issues and Stefania was wonderful in accommodating and helping us - making sure we saw everything while helping my mom. It was an unforgettable experience - thanks so much Stefania! Chris W
Everything about this day was perfect. Stephan was the perfect tour guide for us , lots of personal touches and a great sense of humour. He fit everything in to an unforgettable day. The car, the wine, the castle, the lunch the towns and the church! All exceeded our expectations.
The places and the views were amazing, the car was comfortable, The whole tour was great and Stéphane made it even better
It was a great tour! Our tour guide was very helpful and friendly! He was friendly, approachable, and gave us great information about the Alsace region of France. We had a great time! Saw a castle, magical towns…it was a great tour!
Great day out. Good communication before the trip. Super friendly team. And lovely surprises during the day. We had booked the van for a 6-hour trip for a tour around Strasbourg Alsace region, including a wine tasting. Highly recommended!
We went to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday, our guide, Stefania, was lovely, really knowledgeable, helpful and made our day fabulous! We were collected from our accommodation in an amazing, modern and air conditioned car and visited beautiful churches, an amazing castle, 2 wineries and got to tour a vineyard wine cellar! We enjoyed a celebratory bottle of Cremant in a beautiful view of the mountains and vineyards. And had an amazing authentic French birthday cake in the vineyards alongside a charcuterie board whilst tasting the local wines. We then went to the beautiful town of Riquewihr where we tasted more wines and got a personalised tour of the town by Stefania. Thank you for making my father’s birthday amazing, he had the time of his life! This really was the perfect day and I cannot recommend enough!!
Our driver was very friendly and very informative. It was the most amazing tour I have ever been on. It was such an easy day trip. He was also very accommodating to limit the amount of. Walking for us
An absolute must if you’re visiting the Alsace! Christophe was our driver and couldn’t have been more friendly, attentive and professional. Pick up was prompt and on time, communication prior to pick up was clear, and the car was fabulous. We visited a castle, a grand ornate village church, the medics lab village Beauty and the Beast was inspired by and did two wine tastings. Everywhere we looked was absolutely stunning, with vineyard stretching everywhere, and flowers in boxed gardens on every building. It was truly a fairy tale experience.
Four of us spent a day touring the Alsace region. We all agreed it was a wonderful day. Stephanea was delightful, informative, personal and we appreciated her choices for the stops. The castle stop was very good and we all enjoyed it very much. Stephanea’s narrative in the van before each stop helped us know what we were going to experience. We enjoyed the surprise at the “laundry” stop. The cremant was a fun choice to share with us, and the scenery was beautiful. We would highly recommend!
Absolutely incredible! Alsace is a hidden gem and Christof knows every facet of this glorious place. He is personable and has great English if you need it. We felt like we’d made a new friend and were thrilled about how much our new friend knew! Worth every penny!
We went on a private tour of the Alsace region with StephOnTour and it was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Christophe, was everything you’d hope for—personable, affable, relatable, and incredibly knowledgeable. As a local, he shared not only the history and highlights of the area but also took us to a few hidden gems well off the beaten path. From exploring a medieval castle tucked in the mountains to strolling through postcard-worthy villages, the day was beautifully curated. We enjoyed a delicious lunch featuring local specialties, sipped our way through a wine tasting, and even squeezed in some quick window shopping—all while riding in comfort in a spacious Tesla. The experience felt warm, authentic, and perfectly paced. Best of all, the price was very reasonable and comparable to the large group tours—yet this was so much more personal and memorable. Highly recommend!
This is a wonderful way to see the little Medieval villages in Alsace . our driver Roman showed us lovely churches, took us to a wine tasting, and was extremely fun, pleasant and knowledgeable. Cannot think of a better tour.
Our group (two couples) had a fabulous day touring Alsace with Christopher. We have taken many tours over the years and this is up there with the best of them! He arrived on time in a wonderfully comfortable car and had the entire day planned to meet our wishes—- two wineries, a few charming medieval villages (Riquewihr and Bergheim) and an ancient, breathtakingly beautiful church with a final champagne toast in a lovely field in the countryside. His driving was impeccable and he was lovely to spend the day with! HIGHLY recommend.
Great responsiveness during planning, flexible tonpur needs and great dr8ver and guide. Informative and pleasant experience.
We had a wonderful time! Christophe was very knowledgeable and tailored the day to our interests. He was personable and engaging, and showed us a couple of bonus sites off the beaten track that were well worth seeing. In a very comfortable car, we visited a castle, two picturesque villages, and two very different wineries. Highly recommended!
Highlight of our trip so far! Christophe was friendly, very knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed right from the start. After a pre-trip phone call with Stephane to discuss what we would like to do, Christophe had everything planned and organized for us. He even found a secret spot for us to take some great pictures and a surprise bottle of Cremant! The car was impeccably clean and comfortable. We learned so much about the history of the region and the significance of Alsace wine. It was truly a wonderful experience!
What a wonderful experience having Christophe as our driver as we toured Alsace. He was so pleasant and focused on our experience seeing beautiful villages, churches, a winery, and a castle. If in Strasbourg, this is a must do for sure
I had an amazing private tour to the Alsace region—truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. Stephan, the owner, contacted me via WhatsApp to understand my expectations and thoughtfully tailored an itinerary with great recommendations. He even gave me an extra hour at no additional cost, which I really appreciated. The fare was very reasonable—definitely on the economical side—so they absolutely deserved the tip! Our driver, Christopher, was kind, respectful, and very knowledgeable, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The only thing I regret is not having more time to visit additional places—but that just gives me more reason to return! We’ll definitely consider this company again the next time we visit this beautiful region of France.
We had the most wonderful day with Steph! Our group was on a family girls’ trip from the U.S., ranging in age from 12 to 70, and from start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. Steph was incredibly communicative leading up to the trip and arrived right on time in his sleek black Mercedes SUV to pick us up for our adventure through the Alsace region. Throughout the day, we explored a variety of beautiful and fascinating sites—from a peaceful, lesser-known church tucked away from the usual tourist paths, to a majestic hilltop castle with stunning views, and finally to a charming, fairytale-like village that felt like something out of a storybook. In the village, we enjoyed a lovely wine tasting, followed by lunch at a cozy salon de thé and a bit of shopping. Later in the day, Steph offered us the choice between visiting another town or touring a winery to learn more about the winemaking process. We opted for the winery, and it was an excellent decision—we loved seeing behind the scenes and gaining a deeper appreciation for the region’s wine culture. Steph was kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire journey. His insights into the history and culture of Alsace were both engaging and educational—any history enthusiast would absolutely love touring with him. If you’re on the fence about booking this tour—do it! You won’t be disappointed.
This is a must-do tour in Alsace! Christophe was our guide and went out of his way to make this a special and fun day. We asked to focus on wine, and he took us to three very different wineries where we got to taste and explore. We also visited a castle and historic village and stopped for a few surprises along the way. Christophe was on time, informative, and fun. He ensured we moved along throughout the day to cover everything we wanted to see, but never made us feel rushed, and taught us a lot about the region. We will be back!
Stephane was fabulous! He took us to places on the original itinerary but also to places off of the beaten path. He was knowledgeable in history, culture, architecture, and the arts. We drove in a new, spotless, Mercedes, and he was an excellent driver. He also provided local pretzels, Alsatian sparkling wine and water. This tour was a highlight of our holiday in Strasbourg!
We had a great time on the Alsace tour! Christophe customized the tour for our interests and showed us some nice hidden gems in the region. I would highly recommend this tour to avoid the crowds and have a very personable experience.
What a fabulous day touring the Alsace region with Christoph.He was timely, personable, knowledgeable and his love for the job and region was evident. We visited a number of villages, castles and a wine tasting, as well as a couple of surprises along the way. Thank you for a fantastic and memorable day!
I cannot recommend Stephane and his tours enough. The service is very professional, prompt and friendly. Arranging the tour was made very easy via WhatsApp/Apple iMessage communications. Stephane’s knowledge of the region is second to none and this allowed us to create a bespoke tour for my wife’s 50th birthday with ease. The tour driver was Stefania, Stephane’s wife. She is amazing, very friendly, great humour and just a very genuine person 😀. Her knowledge and passion for the region are outstanding, giving us the history of the region and a great level of detail for each activity. We did the Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg a famous local castle that dates back to the 12th century and looks stunning in the local pink sandstone. We did wine tasting at Achille vineyard a 109% organic and eco friendly business, the wines and charcuterie were to die for. Stefania even arranges international shipping for you which was very helpful. We did a Stefania surprise, a Cremant de Alsace picnic by a beautiful chapel where you get to open the bottle with a sabre. We finished the day with a visit to Obernai to see the Xmas markets here which were very festive and beautiful 😀. a very magical day
Visited in December amid the Christmas Markets (3 adult women). Had a wonderful day with Christopher as our guide. The stops were tailored around our requests - Obernai, Gingerbread House, Ebermunster, Selestat, Cheminee for lunch, wine tasting and Colmar. Colmar was too busy but the rest of the stops were calm/quiet villages where we could see and enjoy the beauty of the region. So glad we decided on the splurge; it was money well spent.
We had a fantastic day with Christophe! He went above and beyond to make my family feel comfortable and show us a variety of great Christmas experiences in the Alsace region. Highly, highly recommend!
This was one of the best tours I have ever been on - starting the day at the castle before the crowds arrived was perfect. The villages that you visit feel like fairy tales have come to life.. Christophe was charming and made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped into the Tesla. The surprises along the way were magical. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Our tours in and around Strasbourg were wonderful. Christophe and Christopher were excellent drivers and guides. We saw so much more than we had anticipated, and had wonderful conversations with C and C. I highly recommend them.
First, Stephon was great. He provided a quality mini van (very comfortable), a sense of humor, and lots of information about the region. He helped identify two wineries for a half day tour which were very good. He provided three special touches along our journey. At the first winery, he provided a dessert from a local bakery as we drank wine. He then drove us to a little chapel that overlooked a small village within the region where he provided a bottle of wine and served us as we snapped pictures (unbelievable view). The third item was a nice add-on, he organized our shipment of wine from two different wineries back to the states (reducing our shipping costs). He was flexible about everything including the best place for pickup and drop-off. We raise a glass to Stephon for a unforgettable memory. Tour well done.
