What people are saying about Alsace

The tour of the museum it really nice and interractive. The workshop was also nice and the amount of chocolate you will take at home is substantial, I would have personally preferred more topping variety, but the overall it was great.

The puzzles were very good and it helped us get to know Strassbourg better. Only the fact that you had to download an app to play the scavenger hunt bothered us a bit. Otherwise great experience and highly recommended.

It is such a great activity to enjoy with your kids ! To smell the hot chocolate and to see the steps to build your own choco :)

Strasbourg can be explored in a very short time with the self-guided scavenger hunt & the city tour! Plan enough time.

A fun and alternative way to visit the city in a short time.
