Wonderful. Very informative. We got to see a few things we would have never experienced and Matthieu was wonderful. Five stars!
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. We are happy to read you had a great time! We hope that in the future you can discover another city with LocalBini as your travel partner!
Our guide was friendly and provided us with important background information about the Christmas markets, as well as the streets we passed through. He also gave us good tips on how and where to get authentic Alsatian food. However, I feel that it was overpriced. While we went to three major markets, the time we spent in each was no longer than 20 minutes.
We regret to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback will be taken into serious consideration in our continuous efforts to provide travellers like you with a great experience in Strasbourg. We hope you still managed to enjoy some of the highlights of Strasbourg and hope to welcome you soon again on another LocalBini Experience.
As advertised the guide was a local, but he was shy, about 28 years old and he walked us from one end of the city to the next in the afternoon through the Christmas markets. There was very little that he told us about the city, history or anything. The city and Markets are very safe and easy to navigate. If you need someone to walk you though the city, this might be a good tour to take but for most people it provides very limited value. Might be worth $125-150 but nowhere near $400. Doesn’t take away from the fact that Strasbourg Christmas markets are amazing

Our guide showed us around Strasbourg’s Christmas markets while sharing history about the city and the Notre-Dame Cathedral. It was an authentic perspective from a local. It was helpful to have such a knowledgeable guide amidst the crowds.

Benoit was phenomenal! He made our day in Strasbourg so special by giving us the most personal and informative tour of the city. He patiently answered all our questions and did an excellent job teaching us about the history of both the city/region overall and the history of Christmas in Strasbourg, too. We’ll certainly be back thanks to Benoit’s engaging tour!
