The Tour was very informative and interesting. Our tour guide , Nathalie, was very friendly, knowledgable and provided us with lots of great tips. We would recommend for everyone who likes sweets and would like to learn more about the history of Lyon.
Wonderful walking tour with Nathalie! Learned so much about Lyon, its history and some of the stories behind the sweet treats we tried. Perfect introduction walk for our first day in Lyon!
First, you will be walking on cobblestones for 2 hours. Next, your tastings are all sweets—all yummy. The stories are wonderful. We enjoyed the whole tour.
