We had an excellent time...
We had an excellent time with Cedric. He arrived promptly to pick us up. And he was so cautious and courteous as we all got on the boat and got comfortable. He was friendly and knowledgeable of all of the sights we saw on our journey. It was so nice to see Strasbourg from the water!
Response from the operator: Merci pour votre avis ! Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir à bord. Merci d’avoir pris le temps de nous laisser tous ces commentaires. Et au plaisir de vous revoir pour Noël by Night.

Cheers to Captain Cedric!
Cedric was kind and knowledgable. The experience was cold in December, but he was prepared with blankets. The boat was decorated for Christmas and it was so festive. Cedric also played Christmas music! We had a lovely time and it was such a fun and unique way to experience Strasbourg. Definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Bonjour ! Merci pour votre avis ! C’était un plaisir de vous accueillir à bord ! Joyeux Noël à vous !

Wonderful Captain and Special experience.
We took a wonderful 90 minute boat ride around Strasbourg with Captain Cedric. First off Captain Cedric thought of everything. From blankets and warm pads to sit on to delicious Champagne. Not only was he very knowledgeable and gave us some history of Strasbourg but he was very nice and a good human. I would highly recommend to people who don’t want to sit on a barge with 300 people and instead have an intimate family experience. Well worth the money.
Response from the operator: Bonjour ! Merci d’avoir pris le temps de nous écrire ce magnifique commentaire ! Au plaisir de vous accueillir à bord en été pour journée sur le Rhin ! Et encore joyeux Noël !
via Tripadvisor
Cedric is not only captain, but concierge, and sommelier! What fun!
We had a wonderful evening touring the canals and the river through Strasbourg. It’s a very relaxing and enjoyable way to get to know the city. Cedric made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. A bottle of Crémant d'Alsace didn’t detract from the experience either. He even went so far as to make reservations for dinner afterwards, as we had not planned ahead. We highly recommend it. Make sure you are punctual, as access to the locks in the canal is reserved ahead of time and you pay extra to reschedule.
Response from the operator: Bonjour ! Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous laisser ce merveilleux avis ! Bon retour a vous !

Captain charged us an extra 100 euros
The tour was very good but unfortunately we had an experience at the end where our boat captain charged us an additional 100 euros saying we chose to be picked up at a central location that was more expensive for him. He said we chose this option but we never did. He changed the pick up location the day before our trip and told us we owed this at the end. Very unfortunate.
Response from the operator: Madam, I have rarely seen satisfied people act in bad faith and lie. You requested to be picked up by boat in the center of Strasbourg and you booked "departure from Saint Thomas" the supplement specified on Tripadvisor is €100, since we need an hour by boat to pick you up and an hour to return, next time meet us at the port!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
BOAT ALSACE Visit Strasbourg in a private boat + Captain: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Strasbourg.
How much does BOAT ALSACE Visit Strasbourg in a private boat + Captain cost?
+
Prices start at $581 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Strasbourg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does BOAT ALSACE Visit Strasbourg in a private boat + Captain take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Strasbourg is not rushed.
Is BOAT ALSACE Visit Strasbourg in a private boat + Captain worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 187 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Strasbourg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule BOAT ALSACE Visit Strasbourg in a private boat + Captain?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is BOAT ALSACE Visit Strasbourg in a private boat + Captain suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book BOAT ALSACE Visit Strasbourg in a private boat + Captain?
+
Around 65 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Strasbourg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Strasbourg and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does BOAT ALSACE Visit Strasbourg in a private boat + Captain start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Strasbourg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Strasbourg?
+
On Outty we rank every Strasbourg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Strasbourg: small group walking tour between history and curiosities, Strasbourg Food Tour - A Taste of Tradition by Do Eat Better, Welcome to Strasbourg! Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Strasbourg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Strasbourg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
