Our family (two adults, two children ages 5 and 3) enjoyed the boat tour of Strasbourg. It was a perfect introduction to the city, and we were able to see many of the city's highlights (La Petite France, Conseil d'Europe, etc.) from the boat. We were fortunate to have perfect weather for an open air boat, so it was also... More

This boat tour is awesome, it brings you around the canals through the major sites in town. It has English and few other languages for you to choose using the headset provided in your seat. The most interesting part of the boat tour is the enter and exit of the water lock in. It would be an experience for anyone... More

Did this trip today. We started in bright sunshine which turned to rain towards the end of the tour but that didn't detract from the experience. The boat ride gives a different perspective on what can be seen from street level and for that reason alone I felt it was worthwhile. I would do it again if I were taking... More

A nice boat trip, but we had to queue for nearly an hour since about 150 clients were being served by only two (!) persons at the Batorama counter. We were completely annoyed. It was Easter weekend and so it would have been easy for Batorama to foresee that many tourists will be in town. I think their service is... More

This was a good way to see the city from the river in about 90 minutes. The covered boats provide headsets in several languages, including a program especially for children. More

A warm sunny spring morning, trees beginning to blossom along the canal provide a pleasant a pleasant backdrop to this 90 minute open or closed boat tour of Strasbourg's canals. Yes, the audio commentary can be a little bit inane at times recalling historical minutiae, but this is a pleasant and picturesque tour of old Starsbourg and the newer European... More

This boat tour was quite long and dull - over an hour. There is no live commentary - you wear headphones and this boring narrator tells you ridiculous facts about people being decapitated or getting stuck in windows and burning to death. I don't know if the narrator was trying to strike an ironic tone but it was awful. Our... More

This boat ride provided informative recorded narration in several languages and served as a good introduction to the city. Unfortunately, we learned during the voyage that one of the locks on the river was broken, so we would have to turn around and backtrack through the first leg of the journey without completing the full loop around the island.

The boat tour was warm and a good way to see an overview of Strabourg. It even goes by the European parliament buildings. More

We really enjoyed the Batorama trip in Strasbourg; this is a relaxing way to see a good part of the city. We took the open boat and to protect ourselves from the sun we purchased funny little umbrellas. All along the trip there were commentaries by earphone in many languages, explaining the sights along the way. We glide along the... More
