Great tour, just think that if wheather is chill you might need good jacket, gloves and hat. If hot: sun glasses… it was really nice and the guide very friendly. Would recommend anyone to do it at any time. The boat is completely open and you have an impressive view from there of the city

Really fun and interesting tour of Strasbourg! Segway means you can cover a lot of ground and see so many amazing places. Our guide was also fantastic. Merci!
