Your guide
VéloRouge walks are led by Atreyu Arndts, an independent partner guide. Here is what two groups wrote on Google:
“We had a tailor-made tour of Strasbourg, off the beaten tourist track, which was fantastic since we had all studied in Strasbourg for years. They were incredibly flexible, the organization was excellent (especially since there was quite a large group), and our guide, Atreyu Arndts, had thoroughly researched the route and related information, so it was brilliant!”
“A great guided tour organised by Velorouge with guide Atreyu Arndts. There were 19 of us visiting Strasbourg’s new neighbourhoods. Thank you for the fantastic flexibility, the professional guidance of this large group, the tailor-made programme, and the provision of cargo bikes for a participant with reduced mobility and their guide dog”
