The Prettiest Towns in the World
We will set you up in cozy small hotels in two of the prettiest towns you are likely to ever visit. (we are not exaggerating, and we know you will agree) Each hotel in each town offers easy access to everything the towns have to offer – everything is within walking distance.
You’ll start your tour in The Black Forest in Germany, in a small hidden gem of a town we don’t advertise for reasons you will appreciate after the fact. We will depart our mystery town and make our way across the Rhine River to the Alsace, to the relatively well-known small city of Colmar, in Alsace, France. The Alsace is one of the most interesting regions in France. France has a lot to offer, but again, you’ll agree with us later.
During your first day in Colmar, our guide will take you around town on a private walking tour, so you have a solid orientation and you will know where things are located. Then you have the remaining day to explore on your own. Our guide will make sure that you blend in like a local. And then its on to the surrounding area. From here you can decide if you want to explore some of the cute (world renown) Alsatian towns near Colmar, do some wine-tasting or dive into the history of past wars – the options are endless.
Every corner of both towns offers picture-perfect scenery and rich history. Colmar’s history is unparalleled, having played central roles in the millennia of French-German history most people don’t know about, or the history you may be familiar with in both WWI and WWII. If you are a history buff, you are in for a real treat.
Food & Wine
Alsace is a food and wine paradise. There are numerous gourmet restaurants. If food and wine are your thing, we are happy to make a recommendation. And if you prefer to take it easy with Alsatian street-food (and French street food can claim 1st place in this category) we know exactly where to get it. And on top of all that, Alsatian wine is world renown. Even if you don’t like wine we recommend stopping at one of the many wineries to just quickly peak in and see what the talk is all about.
