“Not impressed with the selection of goods for sale at the flea market, lots of repetitive things and garage sale quality items at alot of them. My tour guide, and her protege (sorry can't remember the names, started with a K) were great though! Very friendly and helpful. We were the only ones on the tour that day which made it nice and personal. Probably wouldn't do the flea market again.”

She shared history of Strasbourg and how the Christmas markets began. The markets were very crowded, but Catalina knew the best routes to take to avoid the congestion as mush as possible. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour an experience in Strasbourg!”
