Very interesting guided tour. We learned a lot about Lyon. Nicolas is super friendly and knows his subject like the back of his hand. He has a very good sense of humor and has lots of anecdotes to tell.

Excellent guide who manages to capture attention with his bookish knowledge of old Lyon. It's precise and particularly funny, from the juicy secrets to astonishing architectural details. Bravo to you Nicolas, you immerse us in an immersive tour of Old Lyon

A superb day with Nicolas who made us discover Old Lyon with its history and all its anecdotes. Our small group enjoyed it very much especially as the visit was in English and Nicolas' explanations were clear and really within our reach. Thank you so much Nicolas!

Would definitely recommend it! Nicolas is an exceptional guide. Not only does he speak multiple languages fluently, but he is able to introduce you to the city, its history and curiosities in a truly engaging way. After a guided tour with Nicolas, you can really start living your stay at "La Lyonnaise"!

20 Spanish students discovered Vieux Lyon together with Nicolas, an entertaining guide willing to adapt to each type of audience. His command of Spanish is exceptional.

Extremely pleasant and interesting visit with Nicolas from the basilica of Fourvière down to old Lyon passing through the Roman ruins, the cathedral and the traboules Many stories, legends and news The three hours of our private tour for me, my husband and my adult son flew by. Fair Price for Quality of Service
