Alsa Cyclo Tours

Alsa Cyclo Tours hires bikes and organises guided routes and cycling trips in Alsace. It has four agencies: in Eguisheim (3 rue de Pairis), in Colmar (5 rue du Chasseur), in Kaysersberg (31 rue du Général de Gaulle) and in Strasbourg, and a fleet of more than 250 bicycles, ordinary, electric and trekking, which they check after each hire.

What they hire and at what price

The rates are the same at all agencies. An electric bike costs €30 for half a day and €45 for the day; an ordinary one, €18 and €25. For children there is a children's electric bike (135 to 150 cm), an ordinary bike (120 to 150 cm), a baby seat, tow bar and trailer. From three days the price per day drops: the electric one is €40 for three to four days and €36 from seven. With each hire you are given advice and routes of 15 to 70 km from each agency on the free Loopi app, which works offline. For hires of two days or more, they deliver and collect the bike at any point in Alsace for a supplement.

Guided routes and trips

They run guided outings of two and a half to six hours with a local guide, in French or English, which can include an organic wine tasting or a typical meal, through the wine villages around Colmar or around Ribeauvillé, and in December to the Christmas markets of Eguisheim and Turckheim. They also organise trips of three, five or seven days.

Opening hours

From April to October they open from 9:15 to 12:45 and from 14:15 to 17:45; the Eguisheim agency closes on Mondays and the Kaysersberg one on Wednesdays. From January to March, hire is by reservation.
