Strasbourg and Alsace in a nutshell

Dear traveler(s), My name is Gustave, born and bred in Alsace! I grew up in this beautiful region, and discovered Strasbourg as a student. My first career was as a lab technician. But somehow, I could not stand being locked up inside all day long, so I packed up my things and started traveling the world. And it took me many trips and experiences away from Alsace to understand what being an alsacian means. . . and when I did, an evidence occurred to me : I had to settle back in my hometown, and share the beautiful city of Strasbourg! Once decided, I passed the official guide graduation, and joined then managed a small local guides agency. With time, I developed a solid and diverse guiding experience. I widely broaded my knowledges about the city and the region, and learned how to adapt my tours depending on the guests I was attending. Understanding the travelers references and interests became natural, and I am now able to adjust my tours following their wishes. Thanks to my academic career, I can convert a building and its architecture into a book, that tells us all about the era it was built, and that unravels the secrets of its time, the great History as well as the little stories. Thanks to my personnal experiences, I also know all about the everyday life of the city, the underground part of it, the good places to go, from a casual drink to a big-time occasion. And as I live here, I keep enjoying all those great things that Strasbourg has to offer! What I like the most is when the tour becomes a real exchange with the people, and I do my best to involve the public. It is important to me that at the end of the tour, the guests feel that they learned about Strasbourg and Alsace, and had a good time learning about it. I even created a theatre walking tour to try new ways of sharing! I invite you to follow me through this region I love so much, and explore the most famous places as well as the most hidden secrets. . . I am an official local guide since 2015, with a solid experience and general knowledges background. I have been managing a walking tour agency for 5 years, working both in the office and on the field. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
