5.00Nathalie was a simply exceptional guide in terms of her gastronomical knowledge and insights, conveying the essence of the best of French cooking and the importance of le terroir. She connected wonderfully with a group of Middle Schoolers for many of whom this was their first time tasting local specialties. She guided them expertly and kindly through the process of tasting oysters! I would heartily recommend Nathalie for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of this wonderful, world class venue. Bonne visite et bonne dégustation ! Merci beaucoup, Nathalie !
Amazing tour!

5.00Natalie was a fantastic tour guide! This was not just a food tour, but there was so much history and linking current day Lyon life to the historical and cultural significance. The tour made us wish we were staying in Lyon for longer! One of our party felt lightheaded during the tour (it was 95 degrees outside), and Natalie made accommodations at each stop (made sure we had water and a chair, came with us to buy water and snacks). She was absolutely lovely, and her stories were so fun. She is obviously passionate about what she does. 10/10 would recommend!

5.00Such a great time! We got to try everything from Lyon specialties to charcuterie. It was great to learn about Paul Bocuse and the hall itself as well. Manu was wonderful and did a great job of making sure everything was good with my food allergy.
