Mustard, Dukes and Medieval Secrets self guided tour of Dijon




Mustard, Dukes and Medieval Secrets self guided tour of Dijon
Experience Details
In 1513, 40,000 Swiss soldiers surrounded Dijon. The citizens carried a mysterious wooden statue through the streets, and two days later the army vanished. Centuries later, the Germans did the same. This self-guided audio tour walks you through the streets where these stories unfolded.
From the original Maille mustard boutique to a gingerbread factory dating back to 1796, this is Dijon told through its flavours, scandals, and secrets. You'll learn why 80% of the world's "Dijon" mustard is actually made from Canadian seeds, touch the legendary Owl and hear the ghost story behind the tradition, and step inside the Ducal Palace museum for a narrated walkthrough most visitors miss entirely.
No fixed start time, start when you want and pause for a wine tasting in Eiffel-inspired market hall.
If you'd rather explore Dijon at your own pace with real stories, this walking tour fits. Over 20,000 travellers have used our self-guided tours, and every booking comes with a full refund guarantee.

Waste of money. It didn’t work. I tried to get it to work on my phone. It was useless. I wish I hadn’t booked it.
A very nice tour with good stories. I spent two days on it! It helped me to enjoy Dijon more. Thanks! I didn't have a guide and was therefore not picked up.
Sehr gute online-Tour mit guter Wegbeschreibung und sehr guten Bildern. Würde ich jederzeit wieder machen.
