5.00I had an extraordinary time with our guide! Passionate about her city, she manages to transmit her enthusiasm from the first minutes. Thanks to her, I discovered Lyon differently: its history, its architecture, its unusual anecdotes... each street had a story to tell. Her knowledge of the city is impressive and she knows how to share it with simplicity and good humor. A rich, lively and exciting visit. I highly recommend

5.00An unforgettable moment with Eillin, an unusual and charming discovery of Old Lyon. Eillin guides us through the Traboules, the cobblestone alleys, tells us the history of these places, it feels like it 🤩 and what to say about the discovery of Praluline. Do not hesitate, you will have a great time.
An enchanted break

5.00My husband and I had a wonderful 2 hour tour of historical Lyon with Eillin. She asked us what we were interested in seeing and zoomed right in. The history of the silk workers, the traboules and the city’s evolution with gastronomy were all brought to life with engaging information. Bravo, Eillin!
Amazing!!

5.00We highly recommend Eillin's Cultural Walking Tour of Vieux Lyon! In researching which tour to take, we were highly suspicious of the tours that cost only 6 Euros, imagining that they would have a huge number of participants and potentially not be very serious. We found what we were looking for in Eillin's tour. She is passionate about her city, where she has lived for over 19 years. Eillin is an excellent communicator; she is very knowledgeable about many areas, including architecture, film, gastronomy, the silk industry, history, economics, and more. Eillin answered all of our questions about Lyon. We learned so much and enjoyed the tour so much because it was a small group. Eillin shared with us many gems that a big group could not visit. Due to Eillin's extremely engaging tour, we hope to go back and spend time in this wonderful city since there is so much we would love to explore. Also, if we do return to Vieux Lyon, we would definitely sign up for Eillin's Food Tour. This tour was our favorite part of our visit to Lyon—-and there were many highlights!
A Great Way to Learn about Lyon!

5.00We had the great pleasure of taking this tour with Eillin. She has almost perfect English and has so much knowledge to share about the history of Lyon, the wine regions of France, and Lyonnaise food. We learned about the traboules, the architecture in the city, the Basilica, the “mothers” of the Lyonnaise food, Paul Bocuse, Michelin ratings, and so much more. She gave us recommendations for dinner and also directed us how to get to the Basilica and Lugdunum. She answered our questions and made our trip to Lyon so enjoyable. I highly recommend touring with Eillin and will inform our travel agent for him to help his other clients with trips to Lyon.
Professional Tour with Heart & Soul!!
