Beautiful 2-hour walk. Selected pastries that delight
Wear walking shoes and dress for the weather. Bring an open mind with questions. Anna was very knowledgeable about the area and the food!
A great afternoon with our guide, Anna. It was interesting, informative and the pastries were delicious! Would highly recommend
Anne introduced us to old Lyon and sweet nuggets. The tour is punctuated by anecdotes, discussion with broken stick and exchanges on the specialties tasted. In short, we don't see time passing! I highly recommend
Great tour!! A friend and I were visiting from New York, and were going to be in Lyon for 2 nights. The tour was perfect— two hours, lots of yummy food, and good history lessons. It was a perfect way to explore the city. We even had food to take back with us! Anna was wonderful and helpful to us. Highly recommend!
Hello Emily & Gloria ! It was lovely to have you on the tour! thanks so much for the nice review!
Anna made us discover very good addresses to feast in Lyon! She told us the story of each address which made the tour even more interesting. We didn’t see the time pass, despite the bad weather it was a great time!
Anna, the guide, provided an amazing tour with lots of pieces of interesting information about Lyon and its pastries. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We had a fantastic time on the Pastries & Stories of Lyon tour with Anna. My son and I both really enjoyed it and learned so much thanks to Anna’s vast knowledge and engaging storytelling. We tasted some wonderful Lyonnais specialties and discovered unique places we would never have found on our own, all while hearing fascinating stories about the city’s history and culture. Anna is extremely friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. She made us feel very welcome, and went above and beyond by giving us excellent recommendations for the rest of our trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lyon who wants a fun, tasty, and insightful experience!
Went to places “0ff the beaten track”; friendly and knowledgeable guide; good history background; great tastings…I would recommend
Anna takes you on a delightful and delicious excursion. History and pastries are shared with her passion for both. My husband daughter and I highly recommend this tour.
