Mustard, Dukes and Medieval Secrets self guided tour of Dijon
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
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.

5.00Loved this. Informative and loved that you could go at your own pace. Some of the listing's were shut over the Easter weekend, but as you can download and keep the guide offline I was able to listen to sections of it on different days. Will definitely look this up for future cities I visit.
Quality audio Tour at our own pace

5.00Great way to tour the city at our own pace. We really appreciated the history and stories, while also being able to pause and restart whenever and wherever we liked while enjoying different aspects of the city. Terrific experience, well worth the price.
Recommend without hesitation!

5.00We loved this service. Visit with friends freely. Each visit point is to be listened to in self-service without imposed order available from 9am to 7pm. A clear map includes all the points of attraction, well targeted and unmissable. Very pleasant comments are made with anecdotes. We will not hesitate to use this formula to visit other sites in France.
