About this tour
Discover Strasbourg's layered past on a 90-minute evening walk through the city centre. Your guide unpicks street names, hidden corners, and the darker tales—fires, crimes, spectres—that shaped this Alsatian capital. Small groups (max 10) explore from April to October, departing at 20:00. By tour's end, the city's geography and folklore become genuinely yours, not tourist trivia.

What to expect
You'll cover ground steadily through Strasbourg's medieval and Renaissance quarters. The guide anchors each stop with a specific tale—a fire that gutted a neighbourhood, a criminal case that gripped residents, a legend attached to a particular house or lane. Expect anecdotes woven into street-level observation: you're reading the city as much as hearing about it. The pace is moderate; you're walking but not rushing. Bring water if you prefer; the tour excludes refreshments.
