With 15 years of experience as a tour leader all over Europ with different tour companies specialized in educational and cultural tours, I have decided a few years ago to show the best kept secrets of the area where I did grow up. I am proud to propose the best daily tours from the "3 borders area", concentrated in the region, including the Alsace, the Black forest, and up to the Swiss Alps. Passionate about history, culture, wine, gastronomy and people, I remain constantly curious and enthusiastic, my aim is to make the tour a unique moment, an informative and unforgettable experience for every traveller. I am someone fun to be with but in the same time I stay always focused on the job. I love to share my knowledge and experience, I am someone flexible, dedicated and enthusiast in absolutely every type of situation. I believe I understand the need of each participant while they are far away from home, and I would love to welcome you in my comfortable and modern minivan off the beaten track, in order to provide you the most beautiful memories of the area. I am looking forward to meet you for the most beautiful adventure, and I will stay at your entire disposal to show you the best!

Overview of your Colmar tour

Before crossing the Rhine and the German border, you will be driving through Neuf-Breisach, the very last French fortified town, classified world's patrimonial heritage by the Unesco. French native in love of Freiburg, your guide will show you all the local key points during a full walking tour in the medieval city's center. Discover the local street food market & the famous "Minster" (cathedral), you might want to taste the local beer, maybe one of the grilled sausages or the authentic black forestcake; your time is at leisure. Then, we'll reach the hills of the Black forest and the village of Titisee. We will make a large stop a few hundred meters away from a beautiful altitude lake, the time for you to appreciate the cuckoo clock culture & all the local specialties. In order to finish up the loop back to France, you will be driven through the most tiny villages around along the spectacular panoramic high road, and will enjoy the most beautiful preserved sceneries and hidden treasures of the area.

Excellent day, just not the Black Forest. It was raining in the forest and my wife really wanted to trace her ancestral roots. Jean Yves was extremely accommodating and took us to places she knew as well as other places that they must have gone by when migrating to the United States. He went over and above to take us to places he knew we would enjoy and we did. He provided a lot of history and knowledge of the Rhine river, Rhine valley and Black Forest. Very strong recommendation to tour with Jean Yves.

Spent a wonderful day with Jean-Yves on a tour of the Black Forest and surrounding towns. Made several stops for soaking in beautiful panoramic scenery, great food, and a few cold beers. Jean-Yves was a wealth of information about the area and he was very passionate about the forest. Highly recommend a day with Jean-Yves.

My mother and I loved our fabulous tour into the Black Forest with Jean-Yves! He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history which we enjoyed learning about. Jean-Yves catered the tour to our needs since my mother has difficulty walking very far. As a result we got a full rich experience into the Black Forest that we will never forget. Merci!

A perfect tour in all respects. A comfortable vehicle with all family members requirements considered, including a booster seat for the youngest. Jean-Yves listened carefully to our requests and made pertinent suggestions. We especially appreciated being taken off of the main tourist route to take in some special sites. Well worth the experience.

My wife and I wanted to begin our stay in the Strasbourg-area with a day in the Black Forest. Jean-Yves planned a full day for us, beginning with City of Fribourg and a visit to the farmers market with anything you could want. Then on to the coo-coo clock capital of the world (actually interesting!), quaint villages, a monestary, and ending with Lake Tittisee. Jean-Yves had extensive knowledge of the history, culture and development of the region which enriched our experience and understanding.
