After breakfast, we continue our Alsace tour heading to the historically important and charming town of Kaysersberg, with its rich selection of traditional half-timbered buildings and imposing ruins of the castle with its cylindrical dungeon and crenelated wall that still watches over the town and speaks of its strategic importance in the past! The town boasts a number of historically important figures such as Geiler de Kaysersberg (humanist preacher at the Strasbourg Cathedral), Matthieu Zell (the first reformer of Strasbourg) and Albert Schweitzer (a Nobel Peace Prize winner). Kayserberg was the final place visited by the noted writer and chef Anthony Bourdain. From the town we continue on to Ribeauvillé - a city lined with the traditional houses of winemakers and craftsmen, dominated by hills and three majestic castles. Its heritage is witness of a rich past which is celebrated throughout the year, with a highlight being the Minstrels festival. We have free time in Ribeauvillé for lunch.

Walking tour duration approx. 1hr 30mins. Afterwards, we have free time to further explore the amazing city or we can visit the Unterlinden Museum which is housed in a former Dominican convent founded in 1232 on the place 'Unterlinden' or 'Under the Linden'.

Trip Reviews
Beautiful Alsace
The beautiful Alsace region, the location of hotel, the tours & full itinerary. The fantastic coach driver/guide, & Mercedes transport. All the other tour guides were very good too. The local restaurants & food tastings on the tours. The tours were full on but not too rushed. Absolutely loved the gorgeous & so pretty villages.
A packed programme
Small group of 8 made it easy to get into restaurants. A packed programme of visits to cities, wineries and villages; all very worthwhile and interesting.
Our group got on well
A good room is important for me and the one I had was adequate. 2.the Mercedes transporter was rather comfortable, new and suited the size of our group. 3. Our group of ten got on rather well.
Interesting tour
An interesting tour, with a number of visits included. The local guide, Francois, was excellent. The variety of local cuisine was also interesting, although not always to my taste!
