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!

This half day will be spent on the magnificent and panoramic wine road of Alsace. But, before reaching that splendid hamlet, you will enjoy a full historical walking tour in Colmar, discovering the city's colourful past and present. You will stroll through the most magnificent historic section of the city & will be able to ask any question you might have. You will enjoy the commentaries and local input: enjoying the past and most recent historical events, passing through the most tiny and forgotten sections of the town, having the unique opportunity to get to know Colmar as a local, our local alsatians' culture and traditions. After this exclusive overview, you'll be driven to the centuries-old village of Eguisheim, classified one of the most beautiful villages of France. You will experiment the unique opportunity to appreciate it at your own pace. After some orientation, you will have plenty of time to walk on your own; you will definitely fall in love for this magnificent part of our heritage.
Jean-Yves was special. He is a long-time resident of the community and provided a great historical, geological and societal perspective to our experience. He was very accommodating and adjusted the tour on the fly to our specific needs. It was a special day with him.
Jean-Yves was amazing ! My clients had a tour from Strasbourg to Colmar and cannot stop raving about him. They were so impressed with his kindess, knowledge, and unique places/experience they had. I highly recommend Jean- Yves and will use him for future clients!
We booked a tour with Jean-Yves Monier based on his reviews. We were a group of 6 adults wanting to do a private tour from Colmar to Eguisheim France. Jean-Yves was right on time to meet us at our ship, arrived in a lovely van and was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He was a wonderful guide and I would not only recommend him again but working with toursbylocals was a breeze! Dianne
Jean-Yves created the perfect tour for my wife and me on our honeymoon. We spent the day touring small towns while learning about local culture, the wine industry, and the history of the region. Jean-Yves let us decide what we wanted to explore and then filled the journey with fun facts and stories. The Alsace Region is an incredibly beautiful and interesting place and I would recommend anyone visiting or new to the area to spend a day with Jean-Yves so you can learn to love the region like a true local.
Marvellous trip
• Visit of the "Little Venice area", the "collégiale section" up to "the heads house" (1, 5 Hour). • Discovery of the sometimes complex aspects of the Alsatian history in relation with our German neighbor, in a personalized, professional and friendly manner. • Drive to the tiny hamlet of Eguisheim. Photo stop on the panoramic wine road & in the middle of the vineyard itself. • After some orientation, visit of Eguisheim on your own. Plenty of free time to explore this spectacular medieval village & to get some incomparable memories! (1, 5Hour) Good to know: • Be aware that in the eventuality where your hotel would be a little bit further away from the historic section of the town, I will come to pick you up by minivan (without any extra charges), in order to start the walking tour. • Please do not hesitate to contact me for any half day or full day customized program. I will stay at your entire disposal for organizing any tours on the wine road and get you to know the area as a local!
