We had a great time with Maxime! The tour is true to its name – we saw many hidden gems and heard amazing stories that we would have missed on our own. On that tour in a short time, we got a pretty comprehensive understanding of the unique Strasbourg history, architecture and modern-day life. Maxime is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and just a pleasure to tour with! We highly recommend his tour!
Maxime is great. He's very knowledgeable, professional and personnel. He took us to places beyond the Cathedral and the canals. He brought the history of Strasbourg alive for us. Highly recommend if you want something different.
Maxime is very interesting informative and professional. He gave us a wonderful view of Strasbourg beyond the Cathedral. We had a terrific time.
We prefer small groups, but having Maxime to ourselves was the very best. Articulate, personable, flexible and patient- the very best guide we’ve ever had and we lived in France eight months now. Educated in Strasbourg’s history, the history of Alsace , both secular & religious. We were so lucky much and grateful to have met him. Gave us great restaurant recommendations as well. 🤩⭐️ ⭐️⭐️🇫🇷
Our guide Maxim was amazing. We had such a lovely tour. We spent 3 1/2 hours with him. He was great we learned so many things we would’ve never learned on our own. We got to see the astronomical clock. The extra half an hour was because he walked us personally to a restaurant that he recommended us to go to for dinner.
Maxime was an amazing guide and we learned so much interesting history about the beautiful city of Strasbourg! Highly recommend this tour!
Maxime was a wonderful guide! What a tremendous introduction to the beautiful city of Strasbourg! Highly recommend this tour! Excellent!!!
We recently visited Strasbourg with Viking River Cruises and Mr. Laravine was the guide for our walking tour. Maxime was an absolutely outstanding and marvelous tour guide. He is able to strike a perfect balance between informing and entertaining his guests and his passion for the subject matter is more than obvious. My wife and I were extremely lucky to have had such a wonderful guide. We both highly recommend Maxime’s tours for anyone wishing be “enchanted” while visiting Strasbourg.
We were SO fortunate to have Maxim as our tour guide in Strasbourg. It was just the 3 of us. He was so knowledgeable and interesting. I would HIGHLY recommend taking a tour with him.
Very beautiful, the cathedral is an object accessible to everyone, but at the same time those few most beautiful angles from which to see it are almost like hidden gems, so I especially recommend a boat trip, on average price 15-20 euros, which is very appropriate for this experience
