Short Tours in Dijon

We had a wonderful afternoon with Janaina. She showed us many points of interest and taught us much history of Dijon. Her personality and manner are delightful. I strongly recommend her without hesitation.

We booked the tour at the very last moment, and it turned out to be an absolutely great idea! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have learned much about Dijon from a culinary perspective — because... it was Monday. We had no idea that most of the interesting places, including restaurants and bars, are closed on Mondays! Fortunately, Christelle turned out to be not only extremely knowledgeable about Dijon and its remarkable place in both French and international cuisine, but also very inventive. Thanks to her, we not only learned a lot of fascinating information but also had the chance to taste some local specialties — the famous pain d'épices, crème de cassis, and of course, moutarde de Dijon. During our walking tour of the town, Christelle showed us some hidden gems, shared fun stories and local legends, and even recommended great places to eat on a Monday — yes, there are still a few good ones open, but you have to know where to look. I definitely recommend the tour with Christelle!

Janaina is a welcoming, friendly person and a wonderful guide. She is prepared, informative and connected with us well to make our tour sensational. We recommend her. Clint & Nam SQUIRE

Janaina is an excellent tour guide. She clearly loves Dijon and sharing her city with those on the tour. She showed us so much more than one would expect by standing outside of a building; she described the context for the building/street/alley, its architecture and interesting features and how it fit into the life of Dijon. She was personable and engaging. We were not rushed from site to site. We sampled the mustards, enjoyed a light lunch on the square, toured a museum (on mustard ) and ended the day at sampling wines at Les Halles Gourmandes. It was our last day in Dijon and I now wish we would have scheduled this for our first day so we could go back to many of the sites she showed us.
