Reviews
Fantastic, the free walking tour of Strasbourg with Stefania has been one of my best experiences in recent years. I recommend this activity to everyone.
The walking tour was a master class in history, geography, wars, and geopolitics. All told with good humor. Without a doubt, the best tour I have ever taken.
Stefania shows kindness, empathy, knowledge, and a broad general culture. We will definitely book again with Free Tour Europe
A free walking tour that is worth every penny, the guide showed skill and knowledge with a relatively large group. The headphones were a great touch.
The guide Stefania has undoubtedly been one of the best in all our tours. We will return to Strasbourg and take the tour with you again.
