We had a wonderful time with Anna, our incredible guide. The food was amazing and we really enjoyed learning about the history of the dishes and how they are prepared. Our group was also very small, which made the experience really intimate. Would 100% recommend.

Lovely food tour with our fantastic guide Elisabetta, who was super sweet and showed us her favorite parts of the Old Town of Lyon. I really enjoyed listening to her stories and recommendations and appreciated the genuine love she had for her life in Lyon and it's long history. Highly recommend this especially if you can book it at the beginning of your visit to Lyon so you can get her recommendations and figure out what kind of cuisine you're into.

Nathalie was our guide and she was amazing!!!! She was so knowledgeable regarding the history of Lyon as well as the food. We were a family of 8 adults and 2 babies and she was so good with the babies and their pace. Following our tour (within about 30 minutes) she sent us a list of recommendations for numerous sights and restaurants. We would highly recommend Nathalie and the tour. Merci beaucoup Nathalie.

Our food tour in Lyon with Elisabetta was such a great experience. She was so welcoming and knowledgeable, and you could tell how much she loves sharing Lyon’s incredible food and wine culture. We visited several local spots, each offering something delicious and unique, from traditional Lyonnaise specialties to sweet treats and cheeses. Elisabetta explained the history and traditions behind every dish and gave great tips on what else to try during our stay. It felt like exploring the city with a local friend who really knows the best places to eat. We left full, happy, and with a better understanding of why Lyon is known as the food capital of France. Highly recommend!
