Javier is a wonderful guide and he has explained everything to us perfectly. On top of that, he knows places in the area and managed to get us to try several samples of typical Alsatian food. Without a doubt, we recommend him.

From the outside, this Gothic gem impresses you with its 142-meter tower (it was the tallest in the world for centuries). Its facade is covered with sculptures that tell biblical stories, and its central rose window is an explosion of color and geometry. The pink sandstone changes its tone according to daylight. A masterpiece that dominates the old town!
Just opposite the cathedral, this 15th-century house stands out for its half-timbered architecture and loaded decoration: carved wood sculptures, stained glass windows, and high, pointed ceilings. It is one of the best preserved medieval houses in the city and a magnificent example of the German Renaissance.
A majestic 18th-century classicist building that was the residence of prince-bishops. Its symmetrical facade, elegant and sober, contrasts with the Gothic richness of the cathedral. From the outside you can see the carved stone details and its wide windows that reflect the aristocratic past of Strasbourg.
A small cobbled square bordering the Ill River, surrounded by historic pastel-hued buildings. From here you have a privileged view of Rohan Palace and the tourist boats that cross the canals.
An impressive defensive structure from the 17th century. From the outside it looks like an arched dam that allows water to pass through and controlled flooding. You can climb to its terrace to see a spectacular view of Petite France and the covered bridge towers.
After a brief introduction to the most important square in Strasbourg, we will start the activity.
A large square dedicated to the inventor of the printing press, with his statue standing in the center. Around, neoclassical buildings and half-timbered houses. A Christmas wheel and a lively market are also usually installed here. It is a vibrant point between history and local life.
Strasbourg’s most picturesque neighborhood, with its half-timbered houses and sloping ceilings, flowery balconies and canals that cut across it all. From the outside, it looks like something out of a story. Here lived millers, tanners and fishermen. It's the romantic heart of the city

We have been very lucky with our guide, Javier, a guy of Mexican origin, a historian who has lived in Strasbourg for years. The two hours have flown by. His explanations were super interesting and always with a touch of humor. I'm not a big fan of free tours for fear of having unprofessional guides with weak explanations, but with Javier, you can tell he likes his job, has prepared well what he explains, and knows how to communicate it. Congratulations! (and by the way, it's fantastic to have radio guides).
Javier was brilliant regarding the content and the pleasant way of telling it.
We took the tour with David, very enjoyable, we liked it a lot and David is a 10, you can tell he knows the history of the place very well and he answered the questions we asked him with very interesting facts and also gastronomic recommendations, as I said, a 10
. Steph was a great guide with a personal touch. She was very informative, and the earpiece she gave us worked really well.
A very interesting guided tour. The guide, Javier, was very pleasant, he kept the group in a very good mood the whole time. He took us through the history of the city with many interesting facts. In addition to many recommendations regarding shops, walks, and places to visit.
Very pleasant guide and good information
Our guide, Leila, led us through Strasbourg with infectious energy and enthusiasm (despite it being a very cold April morning). She shared the city’s history with interesting detail, including: The impressive Strasbourg cathedral; the city's history and architecture; the timber-framed houses and the canals. It was a thoroughly enjoyable tour. Recommended!
Excellent tour, the best option to know it city
