Do you live in German-speaking Switzerland or southern Baden? We take you to Colmar, Strasbourg or the Wine Route for a day or an evening. Pick-up at your home, your hotel or at the station, and back to the same place in the evening.
We drive over from Alsace to collect you. Distances and times are approximate, for guidance only.
8 hours with your driver, evening included to enjoy the illuminations. You choose the markets, we build the programme with you and confirm the price before departure.
From 27 November to 24 December
From 23 November to 29 December
Dates announced by the towns. Village markets have their own days, often weekends only: we check them with you before planning the route.
In December, darkness falls around 5 pm and the lights come on in the late afternoon. It is often the most beautiful moment, and also the one when people head home. With a driver, you stay to the end without watching the time of the last train or worrying about the tired drive back.
Let us be honest: from Basel, a direct regional train reaches Colmar in about 45 minutes. For a visit to Colmar alone, as a couple, during the day, the train is a good option and costs less. A driver makes sense for something else: stringing together several villages with no station, travelling as a group or with family, coming back late after the lights, and letting everyone enjoy a mulled wine.
You build the programme with us, and the price is confirmed before departure. A saloon for up to 4 passengers or a van for up to 7, a heated premium vehicle, waiting time included at every stop. The all-in day package lasts 8 hours; a travel supplement applies, because the vehicle comes from Alsace, and it is higher from Zurich than from Basel or Freiburg.
Allow about 1 hr 45 from Zurich to Colmar and about 2 hr 30 from Zurich to Strasbourg. On an all-in 8-hour day, that leaves time for a market or two villages, and you are back in the evening at Zürich HB, your hotel or your home.
From Basel, the direct regional train takes about 45 minutes to Colmar. For a visit to Colmar alone, as a couple, during the day, the train is a good option and costs less. A driver becomes worthwhile if you want to string together several villages with no station, travel as a group, come back late after the lights, or enjoy a mulled wine without worrying about the wheel.
Take your ID with you. On your return to Switzerland, the customs allowances apply to your purchases: value of goods, alcohol, meat. The amounts and conditions are set by the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (OFDF): check its official website before you leave.
Yes. Allow an hour to an hour and a half in each village; Colmar or Strasbourg can easily fill half a day on their own. From Basel or Freiburg, three stops fit into a day. From Zurich, the drive takes longer: two stops are more comfortable.
For a Saturday or Sunday in December, several weeks ahead, especially during the two weekends of the Ribeauvillé medieval market: those are the most requested days. On weekdays, a few days is usually enough, and the markets are more pleasant.
Yes: at Basel SBB, at Zürich HB or at Freiburg Hbf, just as at your home or your hotel. You return to the same place in the evening, at the time agreed with your driver.
Tell us where you are starting from, how many of you there are and what you would like to see. We suggest a programme and confirm the price before departure.
December weekends go quickly: it is best to book early.
Book my tripHubert with Elsass VTC helped give me the most magical day in France! He was prompt, professional, informative about the area, and suggested other towns to visit based on my time schedule. Hubert made sure I arrived to reservations on time, helped find them, and gave me alloted times for each stop. AND if I was not back, he was contacting me to make sure I found my way back to the vehicle. He provided water, sanitizing wipes, and even gave me some videos and pictures as souvenirs! I not only felt like I had a Chauffeur and body gaurd for the day, but friend. I will definitely be back for another adventure! Thank you so much, Hubert & Elsass VTC ✨️
Toller Service und zu 100% verlässlich. Da wir unsere Tour selbst geplant und gebucht haben, brauchten wir einen unabhängigen Gepäckservice. Wir kamen durch die guten Bewertungen auf Elsass VTC und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Netter Kontakt, Verlässlichkeit und gute Kommunikation sind hier klar Unternehmenspolitik. Kann man nur weiterempfehlen!! Besten Dank
Excellente expérience ! Chauffeur très ponctuel, professionnel et vraiment agréable. Mon train ayant eu près d’une heure de retard, il m’a attendue à la gare avec beaucoup de patience et de gentillesse, ce que j’ai particulièrement apprécié. Trajet très agréable également. Je recommande sans hésitation !
Une prise en charge sans aucun accroc. Un échange fluide et quotidien lors du transport de nos valises d'hôtel à hôtel durant tout le parcours de notre randonnée à vélo. Je recommande sincèrement Elsass VTC .
