Excellent tour by Davide, featuring a fine balance between history, humour and architectural oddities. Well paced for older and younger visitors, including a brief mid tour rest stop, and recommendations for activities and food. Great way to start orientating yourself in Strasbourg.
Great experience gives great insights on things that would normally be missed
We very much enjoyed our Strasbourg tour. Our guide, Davide, was knowledgeable and entertaining. This experience will encourage us to take another tour in the future.

Great tour! Davide is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Strasbourg. He also gave us excellent trips about places to visit, eat, and shop. Definitely recommend the tour.
Davide was great. Very energetic and engaigng!
David was very energetic, passionate and interesting to listen to. He knows his history of the area which brought a more personal perspective to the tour.
Davide was incredibly charming, informative, and engaging. He was exactly the kind of tour guide we were hoping for. In only two hours we got to understand the historical context of the city and learn interesting facts about certain landmarks and buildings. I’d suggest doing this tour early in your visit to Strasbourg because you will get tips on where else to visit, how to get in, which restaurants to choose (and which to avoid). Davide was outstanding and knowledgeable about the rich history of the German and French control over the Alsace region.
This was a wonderful tour. The guide was enthusiastic, funny, and formative. I felt like a got a great overview of the city plus lots of great recommendations on restaurants.
The guide was well informed, funny, full of energy, and generally a pleasure. He clearly knew what he was doing, but at the same time it felt like a unique experience. I would highly recommend this tour for completeness of information and for entertainment value, which can be a hard combination to achieve.

Davide was an excellent guide! He is so knowledgeable about the storied history of Strasbourg and the surrounding Alsace area. We learned a lot and had a great time! It was the perfect activity to get to know the area.
We had an excellent tour with Davide. He gave us a good amount of historical context but kept it light and entertaining. He made sure everyone could hear him well which was challenging on a busy Saturday during the Journee des Patrimoines when the city is very crowded. A terrific tour experience that we can highly recommend.
We had an excellent tour with Davide. He is very knowledgeable and gave us historical context for the tour. We learned so much today. The pace was good, Davide made sure he spoke loudly so all could hear or picked quieter places to stop to speak, it was difficult because the city was very busy on a Saturday afternoon during the Journee de Patrimoine weekend so he had to make extra effort. He made it fina and entertaining and we had a very good experience. Well worth it
A nice overview of Strasbourg central area and the main sights. Time taken was just right for us and included a coffee and toilet stop. Davide had lots of interesting stories to tell and was an enthusiastic guide.
The tour was excellent and our tour guide, Davide, was awesome! Davide’s knowledge of the history of Alsace region including the period of self rule as well as the change of rule between the French and Prussians / Germans was very informative. Plus Davide’s energy and expressions keep your interest and attention throughout the tour. Highly recommend this tour with Davide as your tour guide.

We also appreciated all his local tips on where to eat and what places to avoid. His recommendations made it easier for us to get a feel for the city beyond the usual tourist spots. We would recommend Davide if you want to learn more about Strasbourg’s history while also getting some great local tips on how to make the most of your visit!
Davide did a great job of orienting us to the historic district of Strasbourg. He shared with us his deep understanding of the unique effects that the changing tides of ethnic and political control of the region had on the city and what we see today. His enthusiasm and the energy he put into his presentation helped bring the history and the sights alive.

Excellent experience. Good information
We had a great time with this tour. David is friendly and very knowledgeable. He also share some recommendations of other places to see and restaurant to get lunch after the tour.
Ends at Petit not the cathedral as advertised. Probably could be reduced to 2 hr and end at the cathedral so you can go into it afterwards if you chose.
Interesting walk, took about 2hrs 40mins. Got an overview of the city on our first full day. Just a small group of 10.
