I was more than excited to visit Strasbourg, France on day six of my cruise. It was nearly 10 years ago when I lived and studied abroad in Strasbourg. The city is filled with history, charm, culture and modern amenities. Strasbourg has been Germany and France many times over the century and because of this has such a unique blend of the two cultures.

The cruise provides a lot free time to explore Strasbourg. You will usually start with a guided small bus tour and then continue walking through the old city with your guide. I won't lie, once I got to the old part of the city I took my band of friends (that I had made throughout the trip) and ditched my guide to explore my city on my own. Make sure to stop in a bakery and get a French baguette and a cafe au lait. No one else in the world can make baguettes like the French and the coffee is oh so delicious. And if you can find the room in your stomach, try some french pastries and make sure to get a Tarte Flambee. Tarte Flambee is an Alsatian specialty you won't want to miss!
Tarte Flambee. Yes. Eat it. (Tanesia Brazington)
The Christmas Markets in Strasbourg are of course wonderful. I liked the change from Germany to France. You will see different kinds and styles of merchandise in the stalls as well as different foods. That is one of the great things about a Rhine River Cruise - you get to experience more than one culture!
It rained throughout the entire day in Strasbourg and even though I was soaked, it was completely worth it. My band of friends and I thouroughly enjoyed the beauty and culture of Strasbourg. Make sure to take your time in the 1200 year old cathedral, visit Le Palais Rohan if you have time (right next to the cathedral) and eat as much food as you possibly can!
Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

Kassandra and the Adventure Life team have been incredible! Kassandra was very knowledgeable and attentive to our asks while making sure we kept within our budget. This was our first experience with a travel agent and we were blown away by the booking/initial exploration service. We will use Adventure Life again.
