Riquewihr, a very old town, is made up (among other things) of: half-timbered houses dating back to the 15th - 18th centuries, built very close together, the Dolder (a 13th century defensive gate), which make up an exceptional architectural whole.

    Fantastic Tour Guide!

    Great tour! Arnold picked us up from our hotel and gave us a marvelous tour of villages in France. He recommended a fabulous French restaurant for us and even tailored our tour on the fly based on what he thought we would like. Definitely recommend Neimi Tours!

    Fun time in France

    We went to beautiful villages. Everyone always talks about Colmar but we liked the other two better. They were smaller and retained more of their charm. The tour was at our own pace so my mom didn’t get overwhelmed. Our driver is very knowledgeable about all the places we went to.

    Highlight of Our Stay In Basel

    Wonderful day out! Excellent driver, who was also the most knowledgeable guide. Sun, rain and snow, three countries visited (Switzerland, Germany and France) in one day, plus a great meal in Ste. Hippolyte along the way! What could be better? 100% highly recommended!
