History buffs book this tour! - Davide showed us beautiful buildings and monuments and explained what we were looking at. Lots of information and details on the background of the buildings and sites. Davide was a wonderful and engaging guide and I recommend him 10/10. He gives you lots of hidden restaurant recommendations, too. Great tour!

How all walking tours should be - Guides make or break tours like this, and Davide really made us feel like we know what makes, and has made, Strasbourg tick. He packed the tour with high-quality information and insights, had an engaging and animated style of presentation, and was generous with his time. Excellent English. If every walking tour was this good, we would feel so well informed in the history and life of places we visit.

Davide does Strasbourg - Davide was engaging, informative energetic and highly amusing. He imparted a lot of detailed historical information in a style that kept you engaged. He was considerate to the various members of the tour, and in addition we learnt the location and quality of coffee in Strasbourg. We would have no difficulty recommending Davide for future tours

Culture and sympathy - We visited Strasbourg knowing its history, anecdotes and receiving welcome and valuable gastronomic information.
Time has also flown thanks to the lively narration, interspersed with funny jokes and stories.
Davide led us to discover the main monuments, but also hidden places: real jewels. There was no shortage of suggestions to deepen the discovery of the city and the entire region.
Complimenti Davide, ottimo tour!!
