Tour Information
 

  STRASBURG FRANCE
  Date: Wednesday, 15 October
  Tour Price: 65 € (per person)


Strasbourg, of which the "grande île" (great island) is classified as UNESCO World Heritage site, has much to tell : its past, its architecture, its art, its traditions, its great men... For tourists interested in history or for those simply curious by nature, 70 registered guides are at your disposal. Explanations, commentaries, anecdotes, on foot, by coach... or by bicycle... they bring alive the city and the region.

From the Cathedral to the museums, from the Petite France to the European quarter, the guide is an essential element of your tour. He will adapt to the size, rhythm and interests of the group, so that everyone benefits to the full Strasburg.
