Welcome to Strasbourg! Walking Tour
Description
Hi! I'm Kevin, born and raised in Chicago, and I've been living in Strasbourg since 2020. I love sharing my adopted home with travelers who enjoy a mix of culture, history, humor, and authenticity! In this “Welcome to Strasbourg!” walking tour, we will visit many highlights of sights and life in the city. We will marvel in the beauty of Strasbourg’s iconic cathedral, stroll through Petite France, Strasbourg’s most picturesque neighborhood, followed by the city's most important squares. Along the way, I will also be pointing you towards other things to explore for the rest of your stay! This is a relaxed, friendly walking tour. Rather than a history lecture, it’s more like a walk with a friend with fun facts, local stories, and excellent food recommendations to share! Whether you're here for a day or a week, I'll make sure that Strasbourg feels a little more familiar :) Please note: - we will not be entering inside the cathedral during the tour - the tour is conducted in English

Our guide is a native to the area and deeply knowledgeable about the history and culture. He knew every village and provided a lot of insight.
Kevin is a terrific guide - knowledgeable, interesting and fun to spend time with. We received a wonderful over view of Strasbourg from him.
It was truly a wonderful experience and a pleasant way to get to know Strasbourg. I immensely enjoyed this tour and will do it again when I returned with my family. Kevin is one of the best guides I've had the pleasure of meeting. He is very friendly, I especially appreciate how he laid out how the tour is going to be and you can feel how much he loves his adopted city. Kevin's English fluency (being his first language) also made a significant difference in understanding the history of Strasbourg. I appreciate his insight and the ability to relate the cultural differences between different countries. Thank you for the wonderful welcome in thos very beautiful city.
We booked this last minute and couldn’t be happier with our experience. It was an outstanding tour filled with a mix of history, cultural facts, and a general understanding of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed it and wouldn’t want to have spent our day in Strasbourg any other way. We saw beautiful sights, had a chance to get delicious snacks, and really appreciated getting to see and understand the city in depth and beyond the standard tourist offerings. Book this intimate tour, you won’t regret it.
Cannot recommend enough for anyone visiting Strasbourg! This 3 hour walking tour was one of my favorite activities we did while visiting France. Kevin is very friendly knowledgeable and answers any questions about Strasbourg you may have. He also provides great recommendations for places to eat etc. Just be prepared to cover a lot of ground and bring water!
Great tour. Kevin was very knowledgeable about the history of the region, and shared lots of stories along with great places to eat and other tips.
What a wonderful day spent with Kevin. It was a wonderful way to get to know the city and learn more about the history and what makes Strasbourg so special. All the restaurant recommendations were spectacular. It was definitely a highlight of our 18 day stay in France. We will definitely be coming back!
Kevin knows his history and is a great storyteller. We’ve done plenty of walking tours, but this one is one of my favorites. I may not remember the dates of the different events that Kevin spoke of, but I’ll never forget the stories. He also gave us his recommendations on restaurants, which was nice.
Kevin was our ideal guide. Not only friendly and personable, enthusiastic and proud of his adopted home town, but SO well organized. He conveyed the city’s complicated history in a clear and entertaining way and spent his time on the meaningful details and stories that make you feel you’ve really gotten to know the city. Just excellent!
The tour included the must-dos of the city center: the cathedral, Place Gutenberg, La Petite France, etc. Additionally, we got a few spots that are a bit off the beaten path. All in all, it was excellent.
