Welcome to Strasbourg!
There are a thousand and one ways to (re)discover the capital of Alsace, and that's what we'd like to show all you curious visitors through our program of guided walking tours (for individuals) with a tour guide.
Strasbourg is a two-thousand-year-old city with a unique cultural and architectural heritage.
Witness to the city's evolution since the Middle Ages, the Grande Ile and Neustadt districts are monumental ensembles of remarkable quality, both listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Strolling through the streets of the city, marvelling at the prodigious Notre-Dame Cathedral and observing the variety of its architecture, is like setting off on a journey through time, encountering the events and people who have shaped it and contributed to its influence.
History, architecture, gastronomy, modern and contemporary art, famous men and women, legends, unusual anecdotes, visits by day, by night, in summer, at Christmas... there's something for everyone. Even children are not left out, with a dedicated program during the short school vacations.
All in all, there are some sixty different themes throughout the year, giving visitors an ever-changing perspective on our beautiful city. Whatever theme you choose, we're sure you won't be disappointed by what you learn.
All our guided tours are conducted by professionally-certified tour guides.
We hope these tours will make you appreciate Strasbourg (even more), and wish you many wonderful discoveries!
