I am a professional musician, I study orchestral conducting in Strasbourg, I like history, art and theater. I started doing tours basically because I knew I had a natural talent for telling stories, and it was a way to meet people from all over the world, share a pleasant walk and have different memories of the city that adopted me. I like to combine my charismatic and warm nature with the experience as an artist and pedagogy to make this experience very unique and fun!
