Were there any lions in Lyon? Why did they build so many secret passages and what kind of troubles happened in the "traboules"? Where did the kings keep their mistresses? Why is the city center sliding down the hill throughout centuries?

3.00Interesting tour of the traboules, on the other hand big surprise on payment with bank charges because the company must be registered in London. Very weird so and especially not indicated anywhere!!!

5.00What a great tour! Konstatin is a great guide. He had lots of information about Lyon, and he’s quite articulate. He is interested in history and knows much about it. We especially enjoyed the basilica and the nearby ruins. And the tranboules! A highlight of our visit to Lyon.
Beautiful experience

5.00We loved this tour. Konstantin was so kind and generous with his knowledge and time - up until meeting him we were very disappointed with Lyon. Konstantin renewed our faith in the city and introduced us to a bunch of traboules that we would never have found on our own. He walked us all around the city and offered many suggestions for further activities to do over our next few days. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Konstantin.
Amazing Guide

5.00Our guide Konstantin, was a fountain of knowledge. He was passionate and could make interesting comments that showed his ability to synthesise different ways of explaining the development of Lyon. He had a wonderful dry sense of humour. We would recommend taking a tour highly.
