“The tour exceeded our expectations. Didier was our driver guide and did an amazing job! As this was an all day tour he found the right balance between talking and silence. In my opinion there is nothing worse than a guide who feels the need to fill every moment with words. He provided enough insight into the villages we visited but also allowed the history and beauty of each to "speak" to us. We had our own time to explore 2 of the villages and their Christmas Markets.

4.Christmas Markets Across 3 Borders

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 24 reviews · 8 hours · from $159

Travel from Colmar by air-conditioned minivan with a French or English-speaking guide, visiting Basel in Switzerland, Freiburg in Germany, and Eguisheim in France. You get free time at each stop, bottled water, and a small group limited to eight people. Guides such as Didier and Ivan have led recent departures.

“Our experience with Didier was a wonderful Christmas market outing. The Équisheim village was our absolute favorite—so charming and fairytale-esque—and we wish we had more time there compared to the other markets in Freiburg and Basel. Didier was very kind and provided brief explanations of each stop, what to expect, and what to see. Just to note, it wasn’t really a guided tour but more of a drive to different locations with short overviews. Our only complaint is that the van had a noticeable cigarette smell, which took away a bit from an otherwise great experience.”
