Strasbourg First-time Visitors Tour In 60 Minutes With A Local

Jidda was an awesome tour guide. Excellent English and knowledge of the city, and kept things entertaining and informative — great value!

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Strasbourg and was helpful in giving us tips for the rest of our time in this beautiful city

Wonderful way to learn more about the city. Benoit was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour. Highly recommend!

Rebecca have me a quick look into Strasbourg, and also provided some recomendations on places to eat and the events in town

Enjoyable to hear the history of this town . The flip flop between Germany and France and how that impacted people

We went on this tour last minute and it was a great experience. Atreyu was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. Best way to spend an hour learning about Strasbourg. We would highly recommend this tour.

Benoit was an amazing guide and advocate for the city of Strasbourg. His knowledge and passion for the city made for a very interesting and educational experience. Thank you Benoit!

Benoit is truly a wonderful person and an exceptional guide. He made our walking tour of Strasbourg the highlight of our trip! Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history and architecture, but his kindness and warmth made the entire experience feel like walking around with a friend. He kept the energy high and made everything so much fun. Highly recommended!

The only reason this is a 4 star and not 5 star review is because of some issues booking. Rebecca was a GREAT tour guide who was very knowledgeable and was very kind to us in offering to give us other recommendations during our stay. However, I would NOT recommend Mathieu. He was our original guide we were signed up to and he kept trying to change the time of the tour with no explanation. We had signed up for the tour at a specific time over 2 weeks ago but less than 24 hours before the tour, Mathieu reached out and asked us if we could do the tour at 4 other times even though we repeatedly said we could only do the time we signed up for. He did not give an explanation as to why he wanted to switch times. Luckily, LocalBini was very responsive and helped us find a new tour guide.

Was really great and informative. Benoit was extremely friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable of the town

Our guide met us at a park and asked about our knowledge and what we wanted to learn. He took us around the city giving bits of history and culture. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot

Rebecca was great. She knew a lot of history and it was good to spend time with an actual local who grew up in Alsace. I'm glad I did the tour.

Rebecca was a fabulous guide! Though our tour was only 1 hour, we saw and learned so much in our time with her!

Benoit did an incredible job showing us around the city of Strasbourg. We learned so much about the city that we didn’t know before. He really took his time explaining everything in a fun and interesting way. Our tour with Benoit was the highlight of our trip to Strasbourg. I can’t recommend it enough!

Benoit was an excellent guide with a deep knowledge of the area's history. He was patient, thorough, and shared fascinating insights that really brought the past to life. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I had a solo tour of Strasbourg with Rebecca, a graduate student at the local university. She was promptly waiting for me at the Place de la Republique statute in the center of the plaza-- and was a cheerful and engaging young local! The tour began immediately at the plaza, as she explained the significance of the geography and lay out of our immediate surroundings, including their history. She even went into details regarding the gardens, which I particularly enjoyed as an avid gardener. We moved on from there on a walking tour that would take us past other pieces of local art, historic architecture, the farmers market (that was on display that afternoon by chance, a nice treat!) all the while explaining and intertwining the history of all the lay before us as we advanced on the tour. She very helpfully explained which shops and bakeries used the freshest local produce and let me know what restaurants and cafes to avoid. She kept up such an engaging conversation on all that was surrounding us that, before I even knew it, she had rounded us past a corner to the most breathtaking view of the Strasbourg cathedral. She did it with such dramatic perfection that I really must applaud her and note this in particular--that we could come across such a massive structure seemingly out of the blue, due to her thorough knowledge of the local streets and how best to approach the cathedral for maximum affect, is the true sign to me of the perfect tour guide. I cannot forget to mention that there were also planned protests that day across France, and we had mutually agreed to meet for the tour earlier than expected so as to avoid any troubles. As the crowds began to gather with their signs, she suggested a tucked away spot where I could enjoy a late lunch and avoid any problems, and I of course asked her to join me so as to continue the conversation--now on French politics--and enjoy a lovely leisurely lunch surrounded by the locals. At the end of our meal, she expertly guided me back to our meeting spot where I reluctantly said goodbye as I had thoroughly enjoyed this remarkable and unforgettable tour. I will surely treasure it as a memory of my time in Strasbourg, and from now on any tour that I am on has a very high bar to clear!

This was a phenomenal tour. The areas to see in the knowledge exhibited by the tour guide was just exceptional. It was great to learn the history of the region and relate this to the existing architecture statues of buildings. Seeing the cathedral of Notre Dame and hearing all the phenomenal stories over the centuries was absolutely astounding. We started at Place de la République and did the walking tour that was clearly strategically planned. Most importantly, our guide, Rebecca was simply the best!

Loved all the history knowledge. Went to places we would have never seen. Loved the tour learning so much and recommended eating places.. great tour Thank you, Mathieu!

Rebekah was wonderful. Informative and fun. Nice quick tour. The group was relatively large but she handled us very well. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful guide Rebeca! She was so kind to us and took her time. She was very patient with my dad who is elderly and walked slowly. I give her five stars!

Nice and personable young woman. But her grasp of relevant subject matter was poor. A very grim day.

This is a wonderful way to see some of the city's most impressive sites. Our guide Stephanie was very knowledgeable and gave us many good recommendations for 'after the tour'.

Disappointing 90 minute small group tour of Strasbourg. Turns out my husband and I were the only people in the group, but we didn't get much out of it. Gidda was knowledgeable, but he was too difficult to understand (accent). I had to ask him to repeat almost everything he said, then after a while, I just gave up. We won't be taking a tour like this with Tripadvisor again.

Oh my goodness our tour with Guillaume was fabulous. She is extremely knowledgeable of landmarks and the history of the area. She was friendly and accommodating. She sent me a several recommendations on food and drink when we departed. I can't recommend this tour or her enough!!!

Rebecca was a fantastic tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. She tailored the experience to match my interests, making the tour both engaging and memorable.

Wonderful experience in Strasbourg with a friendly, passionate and knowledgeable guide. Mathieu contacted us the day before with details and was flexible with pacing during the tour for the 15- and 70-year olds in our group. Highly recommended!

"Very interesting and entertaining guide. A fresh look at the history of Strasbourg The tour was great. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful tour with very knowledgeable guide! Took us through the past and present! Would highly recommend

Benoit was our guide and he was a delight! He was informative and knowledgeable and showed us many highlights around the city. Strasbourg is a beautiful city with an interesting history and it was good to hear more of that history from a local. Highly recommend.

Local guide who was very knowledgeable. Had lots of good stories and was able to bring Strasborg to life. Although tour really needs to be longer, way too much to see in 60 minutes.

A great walk in Strasbourg with Rebeca a wonderful guide, full of knowledge and able to give us tips on restaurants in the area

Rebecca was knowledgeable and personal, we felt we learned so much more about the city with her guidance.

It was very good and informative, the guide is very nice and friendly, gave a nice food and cafe recommendations

Autreyu was extremely knowledgeable, professional and a delight to have as a guide. He enabled us to thoroughly enjoy our time in Strasbourg.

Perfect tour with Gayla. The tour was informative about the city history and fun. She took us to places we would not have seen by just walking around on our own. Highly recommend

Our guide was excellent & gave us a very good idea of the evolution of Strasbourg & the various stages in its history

Rebecca was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting facts! I was also appreciative of her tips and recommendations.

Local-bini sent us Benoit, who was an excellent guide! He really helped us understand the complicated history of Strasbourg, and had an excellent fund of knowledge including architecture. He made the history fun and relevant, and shared tips on local customs, stories, and must try foods. Really tuned in to what we were interested in, such a great experience! Would highly recommend.

Our one hour walking tour in Strasbourg was a delight. Our guide Mathieu was very knowledgeable and it was clear that he had great affection for the city. We learned lots of history while seeing the major attractions. Our guide provided us with excellent recommendations to explore during the remainder of our trip. Highly recommended!

Mathieu, our guide, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and interactive which made the tour informative and fun! I would absolutely recommend him for anyone looking to do this tour!

I contacted "Explore Strasbourg" really last minute, the night before my sisters and I hoped to have a guided tour of old town Strasbourg. It was also just a day or two before the Christmas Markets were to open. We were so delighted that it was possible, and we felt especially lucky that we had Mathieu as our guide! He was the best. On time, so knowledgeable, and we really learned a lot. Mathieu has a wonderful sense of humor; everything about his tour was enjoyable. It was definitely a highlight of our time in the city. Thank you!!

Our local tour guide was great and was not in a hurry at all to rush us thru the city. Got a good feel for the community and the city layout which is very walkable

We came to Strasbourg for the Christmas Markets. Doryan opened our eyes to the town’s wonderful history. Great walk around. Thank you

I decided to go on a walking tour, as I did not know much about Strasbourg. Mathieu was a great guide- really knowledgeable and friendly. It was nice to know more about Strasbourg and to get some of his personal recommendations. I would recommend this tour :)

Matt was terrific! He made the tour of Strasbourg very interesting and personalized it for each and every one of us. We really enjoyed the tour and it was a nice addition to the Christmas market that we had come to see.
