Direct Colmar Christmas Market Transfer & Day Excursions

Discovering Colmar's five fairy-tale Christmas markets

Colmar turns into an open-air winter fairytale every holiday season. The city features five distinct Christmas markets, each located within historic squares surrounded by half-timbered medieval buildings. Highlights include Place des Dominicains, Place Jeanne d'Arc, Place de l'Ancienne Douane, the indoor craft market inside the historic Koïfhus, and the children's market in Little Venice.

A Colmar Christmas market transfer provides comfortable direct transport right to the edge of Colmar's pedestrian zone. Traveling with a private chauffeur eliminates winter parking headaches and train connection delays, giving you maximum time to explore the illuminated wooden chalets.

Combining Colmar with famous Alsatian wine villages

Alsace Wine Route landscapes encircle Colmar, leading to picturesque medieval villages that host their own fairytale Christmas markets. Many travellers choose to combine their Colmar trip with visits to neighboring Alsatian gems in a single day circuit.

Charming stops in Eguisheim and Kaysersberg

Eguisheim, with its concentric medieval streets, and Kaysersberg, nestled below castle ruins, offer intimate holiday markets featuring authentic handcrafted gifts and local gingerbread delicacies.

Historic atmosphere in Riquewihr

Riquewihr offers festive decorations along its preserved sixteenth-century main street. Your chauffeur manages rural road conditions and coordinates convenient drop-offs outside village ramparts.

What your professional chauffeur manages during the excursion

Your dedicated private driver handles every aspect of route navigation, winter driving conditions, and vehicle climate control. Whether traveling along the A35 highway from Strasbourg or navigating scenic country roads between Alsatian villages, your safety and comfort remain top priorities.

Your chauffeur assists with luggage, keeps purchasing bags stored securely while you tour, and remains reachable by phone so you can easily coordinate your meeting location when ready to move on.

Hourly chauffeur hire options for customized itineraries

For travellers wanting complete freedom to visit multiple Christmas markets at their own pace, hourly chauffeur hire is the ideal solution. Minimum bookings start at four hours, offering transparent pricing from €50 per hour in a Comfort Sedan and €85 per hour in a Comfort Van.

Flexibility with four-hour minimum bookings

With hourly hire, your schedule remains completely flexible. Spend extra time sipping mulled wine in Colmar or add an unexpected wine tasting stop along the Alsace Wine Route without rigid deadlines.

Fleet choices for couples, families, and groups

Choose between our elegant black Comfort Sedan (up to 3 passengers, 3 suitcases) or our spacious Van / Comfort Van (up to 8 passengers, 8 suitcases), perfect for larger family gatherings.

Late-night evening returns and winter road safety

The evening illuminations in Colmar's Little Venice quarter are among the most photographed holiday sights in France. Seeing the colorful timbered houses reflected in canal waters under festive lighting is an unforgettable experience best enjoyed after sunset.

After an evening of exploring and dining at a traditional Alsatian restaurant, your private chauffeur ensures a safe, comfortable late-night drive back to Strasbourg or your hotel. Vehicles are fully equipped with winter tyres to handle cold or frosty road conditions.
