Great introductory tour of Lyon

This was a great tour. Very informative of the history and nuances of Lyon. I would recommend this tour early on your visit to Lyon for a good overview of the city.

This was a great tour! We saw all the best parts of Lyon and got a full grasp of the city. Definitely recommend if you’re traveling with a small group

Great day with a local

We had a local by the name of Didac. He showed us so many things and places. He recommended restaurants for us. Bought us a very tasty pastry and saw so much around the beautiful city of Lyon.

It was a really great...

It was a really great tour! Our tour guide was awesome! A couple things that I believe are more of the fault of the operator company were they said breakfast was included (no breakfast happened) and that tickets for the Theather & Museum Guignol were included in the price however the tour was on a Monday and the Theater was closed. It would be great if the operator company reflected the tour price of what actually happens during the tour/what’s actually available.

Exceptional!

Loved the whole experience. DIDAC was brilliant. He knew the history and we saw so much that we wouldn't have if we tried to do it on our own.

Vieux Lyon Tour

Our tour of Vieux Lyon was more than we expected. Our guide, Dideck, was knowledgeable and very connected to the area. We explored secret passageways (traboules) that we would never have found on our own, as well as histories of the silk industry and the various Squares we walked through. We highly recommend.

Exceptional!

This was an amazing tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and was able to very effectively cover the full history of Lyon in 2.5 hours. Included the well known sites including taking us up the funicular and through the puppet museum (after giving us the history of the importance). But it also included parts of the city we could never have found on our own such as hidden passages and a silk shop that showed the process for making silk (including live silk worms!) Highly recommend!

Didac was a perfect guide...

Didac was a perfect guide for this activity. He was knowledgeable and very caring about Lyon and presenting the whole history. He asked about what we wanted to do, and also asked about any limitations we had. It was a totally great introduction to the city.
