Strassbourg, a fascinating town presented by Davide - Davide‘s comprehensive knowledge of Strassbourg, coupled with his lively and engaging personality was a wonderful experience. He expertly covered defining points of Strassbourg history with humour, including the character of the German, French and Roman emperors, their ambition, power, quirks, constructive and destructive tendencies. Designing and rebuilding the city into the modern version of today, it‘s UNESCO status, the layout, etc. were most interesting. We also learned much about the importance of the economy, river trade, university, European Parliament, geography, dining, culture, Christmas markets and architecture. The pace was leisurely, and we did not feel overwhelmed. Overall , it was enjoyable, and so we confidently recommend the 2- hour walking tour with Davide!

A most Enthusiastic guide! - Davide took us through the best of Strasbourg. His enthusiasm and passion for the history is infectious. He tells the story of the ups and downs of Alsace through the art & architecture, geography & topography all while pointing out his “faves” for drinking, dining, “noshing” and relaxing.

A pleasant surprise - Booked at the last minute during the trip to Strasbourg. When you say stroke of luck! Davide is an enthusiast who makes you discover many small curiosities of the place and the story really makes you dive into the eras as if you were experiencing 500 years of history firsthand in two hours with a lightness that makes time fly. Finally, there is no shortage of advice on what to buy and where which is invaluable as Davide has been living in Strasbourg for a while. Plus the cost is one of the best. Money well spent. Thanks David!
