Strasbourg: small group walking tour between history and curiosities

About this experience

Get ready to discover Strasbourg and its thousand-year history! The tour lasts about two and a half hours during which I will take you to discover all the most important areas of the city. The leitmotif of this walking tour will be Strasbourg through the centuries: from the founding of the city to the contemporary wars. We will visit together the most important squares of Strasbourg, the historic districts such as the Petite France and the Rue des Orfèvres, and of course the most significant monuments of this charming French city. During the tour I will give you information about museums, surroundings to visit and restaurants to try. WARNING: the itinerary may change depending on weather requirements or due to the crowding of the city.
