Tour Program
Istanbul-Stuttgart-Alsace
Meeting with our valued guests at the international departures terminal of Istanbul Airport at least 3 hours before the flight. Following ticketing, baggage, and passport procedures, we depart for Stuttgart at 08:30 on Turkish Airlines’ scheduled flight TK1701. Arrival in Stuttgart at 09:35 local time. After passport and ticket procedures, we leave the airport to begin our city tour. We set off for Strasbourg. Upon arrival, our panoramic city tour begins. Strasbourg holds historical importance as the place where the French national anthem, “La Marseillaise,” was written, and stands out as a city where Alsatian culture blends with French architecture. We visit Strasbourg’s Notre-Dame Cathedral, which held the title of the world’s tallest structure until 1874, Rohan Palace, Kléber Square, and the Petit France district, adorned with traditional Alsatian houses. Following our tour, we transfer to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
Alsace – Eguisheim – Colmar – Riquewihr – Alsace
After breakfast at the hotel, free time. Guests who wish may join the optional Eguisheim & Colmar & Riquewihr tour (EUR 100). Our first stop is Eguisheim, one of the charming towns of Alsace. As you wander through its narrow, picturesque streets among houses with colorful geraniums hanging from their wooden windows and balconies, you will begin to lose yourself in stories from the past. A member of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France” association since 2003, Eguisheim was chosen as “France’s Favorite Village” in 2013.
Following our visit to Eguisheim, we will depart for our second stop, Colmar. With its colorful houses, flower-decorated streets, and captivating beauty, Colmar is one of the region’s most enchanting cities and is of great importance as the starting point of the Alsace Wine Route. The canals add even more beauty to Colmar; they are branches of the Rhine River. The colorful historic buildings lining the river, dating back as far as the 1200s, are among the city’s most distinctive and noteworthy features. During our tour of Colmar, we will stroll through its carnival-like streets and visit Saint Martin’s Cathedral, with its enormous stork nests, Rue Marchand (Merchant Street), and the “Petite Venise” district, meaning “Little Venice.”
Our final stop on the tour is Riquewihr, known as the most famous village in Alsace. This charming town, home to 1,200 residents, attracts 2 million visitors each year with its harmonious two-story houses combining Alsatian timber framing and concrete, as well as its variety of colors and architectural styles. You will never tire of taking photographs in this wonderful town, where history, culture, and nature come together. Following the tour, transfer to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel. (Depending on the level of occupancy in the region, accommodation may be provided in nearby cities, such as Mulhouse, Colmar, Strasbourg, Basel, or Belfort.)
ALSACE – SCHAFFHAUSEN RHINE FALLS – ZURICH – LUCERNE – ALSACE
Free time after breakfast at the hotel. Guests who wish may join the optional Schaffhausen Rhine Falls, Zurich & Lucerne tour organized by our guide (€110). Our first stop will be the Rhine Falls. Following our walk around Europe’s largest waterfall, which is 150 meters wide and 23 meters high, accompanied by the enchanting sound of the water, we will depart for Zurich, Switzerland’s largest city. Located on the shores of Lake Zurich and at the foothills of the Alps, Zurich welcomes millions of tourists throughout the year with its historical heritage and culture. The city’s history dates back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, while its name derives from “Turus.” The city, which was under Roman occupation in the 2nd century AD, was named Turicum. When translated into Swiss German, this name is pronounced “Zuri.” According to the latest data, Zurich is the most livable city in Europe and is also known as Switzerland’s cultural capital. Upon arrival, after seeing the Grossmünster and Fraumünster churches, as well as St. Peter’s Church, home to the largest clock tower in Europe, we will tour Bahnhofstrasse, considered the city’s shopping center. Following our tour, we will depart for Lucerne. In this enchanting city, we will see the Lion Monument, built in memory of the 800 Swiss soldiers who were killed while protecting King Louis XVI and his family, the Chapel Bridge, and the magnificent view of Lake Lucerne. We will then conclude our tour and transfer to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel. (Depending on regional occupancy, accommodation may be provided in surrounding cities, such as Mulhouse, Colmar, Strasbourg, Basel, or Belfort.)
