Who I Am

My name is Ivan and I am a professional tour guide in Strasbourg, with a university degree and an official tour guide license in France. Since 2017, I have been guiding visitors from all over the world, sharing the history, culture, and identity of Strasbourg and the Alsace region.

My training includes studies at the University of Strasbourg, complemented by an internship at the Belfort Tourist Office, where I gained hands-on experience guiding groups in real situations. This combination of theory and practice allowed me to obtain my official tour guide license in France.

My calling and passion

I chose this profession out of a passion for history, languages, and connecting with people. For me, guiding is not just about giving information: it is about creating memorable experiences, linking visitors to the places, stories, and culture in an enjoyable and approachable way.

Tailored guided tours

I offer guided tours in English, French, Spanish, and Catalan, allowing me to adapt each tour to different interests, ages, and travel styles. Flexibility and personalization are at the heart of my work, whether it’s a stroll through Strasbourg’s Old Town or a deeper exploration of Colmar and the surrounding villages, always tailored to you.

My goal

My goal is for you to understand Alsace in all its richness: its past between France and Germany, its architecture, traditions, and daily life, in a way that is clear, enjoyable, and accessible.

It will be a pleasure to accompany you through Strasbourg, Colmar, and all of Alsace, sharing the stories that make this region so unique. I would love to welcome you on one of my tours and help you experience Alsace in an authentic and memorable way.

Ethics, Flexibility, and Sense of Humor

For me, the most important thing is that everyone who joins my tours takes home unforgettable memories of Alsace.

Honesty is fundamental: I never give incorrect information. If I don’t know something, I prefer to offer a reasoned hypothesis or simply acknowledge it, because no one has all the answers.
Each tour is adapted to the people I am guiding. I welcome visitors of all ages, backgrounds, and interests, and I always make sure that my explanations are clear, engaging, and easy to understand for everyone.
I also like to maintain a friendly and relaxed tone. During the tour, you will find curious anecdotes, surprising details, and occasionally a little joke related to what we are seeing.

In short, each tour is unique and personalized. I do not follow a fixed script or offer an automated experience: I share my knowledge in a close, entertaining, and tailored way for every visitor.
