5.00Toni was amazing! It was a nicely paced tour. I learned so much. I really loved the small group format. I really appreciated the flow through history. The traboules were incredible to see and go through. There is so much hidden in Lyon!
Worth the time. If you can front-load it onto your trip do so.

5.00Toni was an absolutely amazing tour guide! He has so much great information about Lyon's history, gastronomy, architecture, and much, much more. If you are wavering about paying for this tour, it is so, so worth it. And Maud was great, too, when it rained heavily on the morning tour, she contacted all tour members and asked if we could reschedule to the afternoon, which we did. Toni checked in to make sure he knew every person's name, where they were from, and where they were going in France. He encouraged all our questions and answered them all, plus had Maud send us recommandations for restaurants, more things to do and see-not only in Lyon, but where we were headed next. My friend and I cannot speak highly enough of this tour. Toni has a great personality and made this tour fun and interesting for all involved.
The locksmith...the pearl of the restaurants of Gravelines!!!

5.00The best restaurant in Gravelines. Warm welcome, superb setting, magnificent view, impeccable service, as for the dishes... a treat! We go every week, and always with the same pleasure and satisfaction. For those who have not yet been there, a tip, book, otherwise you may not have a table. It's always complete, and you'll understand why we can't do without it and we just ask to go back!!!
Wonderful tour of Lyon

5.00This was a wonderful tour. Toni's knowledge of Lyon and his enthusiasm came through and it was a pleasure to discover the city with him. We appreciated that he made an effort to get to know the participants and he was very happy to address questions. The follow up recommendations from Maud were excellent resources.
An excellent tour

5.00This is an excellent tour. Toni is very personable and knowledgeable. His love of Lyon and it’s history came through vividly as he described the architecture, traditions and culture of the city, and provided interesting tidbits about the early residents. The funicular was not running on our chosen date and Maud contacted us, arranged for us to switch to another day, and suggested activities for our empty day. After the tour, Maud sent a list of recommendations for places to visit, restaurants and bouchons. Toni and Maud are great hosts for a wonderful city. I highly recommend this tour.
