A waste of money.
Don’t bother. It gives no historical information whatsoever and is simply a how to walk from point A to point B. I was sorely disappointed.
Response from the operator: We promise Strasbourg has more history than the alphabet has letters. The audio guide includes historical stories and context throughout the route, not just walking instructions, so it’s a pity that this didn’t come through for you. We hope your next tour gives you more stories to remember.

Great way to see Strasbourg
Excellent audio touring guide of Strasbourg. It covered all the main sights at more! We were able to tour at our own pace. The audio guide was informative and we learned a lot of about the city at our own pace. We only had a day in Strasbourg and it was a great way to cover the city (33 sights, around 8 miles in total). Would recommend it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re very happy that the TouringBee audioguide helped you make the most of your day in Strasbourg. It’s great to hear that the route covered the main sights and gave you enough freedom to explore at your own pace — especially with only one day in the city. Strasbourg has so many beautiful corners, and a self-guided audio walk is a great way to see more without being tied to a group schedule. We’re glad the guide was informative and useful, and we’d be happy to accompany you again in another city.

Great way to see Strassbourg
This was easy to navigate and informative. I liked that each stop only had about a 1-2 minute clip. We had planned to just wander the city since we didn’t have time for a booked live tour, but having this as a guide of where to wander was nice. Disclaimer: we only had time for about a third of the stops but enjoyed what we did get to experience!

A Convenient Way to Walk Around Strasbourg
We had already used TouringBee audio guides in other cities, so we chose the same format in Strasbourg. We like being able to walk independently and at our own pace, while still understanding what we are seeing around us. The route is convenient: you don’t have to constantly search for information online or decide where to go next. You can stop for coffee, spend more time somewhere you like, and then continue without rushing. A good balance between a regular walk and a guided tour.

Great experience if you have a free day in Strasbourg
Great guide to some of Strasbourg's main attractions, directions were super easy to follow, as was the historical information about each point of interest, without it being overwhelming. If I had to find a flaw, that would be the guide pronouncing Strasbourg as 'Straus-bourg'!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re really glad you enjoyed exploring Strasbourg with the TouringBee audio guide and found the route easy to follow and the historical information clear without being overwhelming — that balance is exactly what we aim for 😊 We hope you’ll choose TouringBee audio guides again on your future travels and continue discovering new cities with us!

Strasbourg Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Strasbourg.
How much does Strasbourg Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone cost?
+
Prices start at $11 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 Strasbourg Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Strasbourg Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 50 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 Strasbourg Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone?
+
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 Strasbourg Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Strasbourg Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone?
+
Around 18 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Strasbourg Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone 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 Food Tour - A Taste of Tradition by Do Eat Better, Strasbourg: small group walking tour between history and curiosities, Colmar, Medieval Village & Castle Small Group from Strasbourg. 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.
