Riquewihr is a commune in Alsace in north-eastern France. A popular tourist attraction for its historical architecture, Riquewihr is also known for the Riesling and other great wines produced in the village. Riquewihr looks today more or less as it did in the 16th century. Riquewihr was one of the few towns in the area not to be badly damaged during World War II. The town is surrounded by its medieval fortifications and is overlooked by a castle from the same period that is today a museum. There is a museum about Alsace during World War II and a torture chamber. The village is a member of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("The most beautiful villages of France") association.

The trip and your service were great. The site was really helpful in the planning process, giving me an idea of possible routes. As far as hotel selection, there were so many choices and the cost very competitive. Checking in the hotels with vouchers was seamless, no confusion with the staff of any kind. All I had to do is to give them my vouchers. So all in all, everything went well and I truly appreciate your services!

Overall it was a good experience. The best part of it was to discover new places (Barcelona and Venice were my favorites). Also, the hostel in Venice was a great pick. All and all, I am rather satisfied with the package and the service provided by RoutePerfect.com, and I already recommended it to a few friends. Thank you for operating this service. Hopefully, I will keep RoutePerfect.com in my mind for future trip plans in continental Europe. Meanwhile, should you have some great deals on packages, please let me know.
