Once you've visited Colmar in a day this is a great way to visit some of the surrounding villages that are all really pretty. Quite a lot of walking involved to explore the different areas. I imagine that in the summer it gets very busy. We were lucky as it was sunny and quiet with a group of 5. Thanks Ivan for your patience and to try and answer all our questions. Pick up at the hotel at 9h and returned around 17h. A full day out.

Our initial tour was planned in May, for our Honeymoon, unfortunately this was cancelled due to corona virus. We rescheduled our trip to March 2021. We contacted Ophorus to re-arrange. Michelle was completely understanding and moved our booking, without any extra fees or hassle. She responded extremely quickly, for which we was most grateful. Unfortunately, our honeymoon was cancelled on us for a second time, so we reached out to Michelle again to ask for a refund. Once again, we received a very quick reply, which was great. I work for a small business so understand the importance of cash for small businesses, but once again there was no hassle, and our refund has been processed. I cannot be thankful enough. When the travel restrictions ease, we will certainly be re-booking with Ophorus, there customer service has been excellent. There has been no language barrier issues, the English has been excellent. I wish everyone who reads this review to book with Ophorus. Going by my experience so far they will not be disappointed. Many thanks to Ophorus from us during these difficult times. I wish you well.

Once you are there you don't need a car, everything is within walking distance. They call Baden Baden a spa town, but it's much more, yes there are plenty of spa's to relax in but the scenery and local walking paths are amazing, if you're a hiker there are so many trail options to choose from. You can hike from the centre of town to the top of the Merkur Mountain in an hour where you'll be rewarded with spectacular views of the town and surrounding countryside. Baden Baden is the most chilled out town I've ever been to. It has a host of wonderful restaurants, cafe's and Ice cream parlours, everything from Pizza to fine dinning at the Wintergarden in Brenners Hotel.
