Strasbourg: Premium Tour & Food Tasting | Official licensed local live guide｜France

Strasbourg: The historic old town through anecdotes – A fun and easy premium tour with Yann, your official licensed local live guide. Small wine tasting and local cheese food tasting. Dogs allowed!

Ready for a unique experience? Let your licensed and passionate guide lead you on a 2.5-hour exploration of Strasbourg's UNESCO-listed alleys. Forget the classic tours: with me, every street corner reveals a surprising story, a fun anecdote, or a well-kept secret.

As soon as we meet (look for my yellow and black cap or my yellow beanie, depending on the weather) next to the bronze 3D model of Strasbourg Cathedral in the Place du Château, immerse yourself in a living narrative where historical facts and little stories intertwine. Learn why Strasbourg's old name, Argentoratum, is so evocative, and how a person born in 1870 was able to change their nationality four times without ever leaving the city.

On the program of your guided discovery:

- The cathedral, much more than a monument
Discover this Gothic masterpiece through its majestic facade and fascinating anecdotes. What surprising connection is there between the height of its spire and the elevation of the square? Did you know that it was the tallest monument in Christendom for centuries? I will reveal its secrets and symbols, an unexpected vestige of its past, and the amusing story of the "Belly Measurer".

- From Gutenberg to the Reformation
Admire the Maison Kammerzell before heading to Place Gutenberg. I will reveal to you why Strasbourg is a cradle of printing and how it saw the birth of pioneering publications (the first book printed in German, the first newspaper). Further on, take in the Church of Saint Thomas to understand the role of Protestantism in Alsace.

- La Petite France, its charm... And its surprising secrets
Welcome to the most picturesque neighborhood in Strasbourg. Beyond the postcards, I will tell you the colorful and unexpected anecdote behind the name "Petite France" – a story related to public health that will leave you speechless. Look for an architectural feature of the timber-framed houses; I'll tell you more about this trick. We will explore the covered bridges and the Barrage Vauban, remnants of defensive ingenuity.

- Grand'Rue and beyond
Our exploration continues along Grand'Rue. Guess which famous national anthem was born and sung for the first time here in Strasbourg. Then, feel a shiver for a moment on the Pont du Corbeau, formerly the "bridge of executions", before heading to the famous "Mon Oncle Malker de Munster" grocery store for a wine tasting and local cheese food tasting.

- A personalized ending
We will end our journey at the foot of the cathedral. I will remain available for your questions and my best personalized recommendations for your stay. With me, Strasbourg becomes a story that you experience and remember.
