5.00After reading reviews, I decided to take the tour with Toni. I was disappointed it didn’t originally marry up with my arrival date. I took it three days in. It was ABSOLUTELY the right decision!!!! What a LOVELY experience! On my tour, I was one of seven. We had a wonderful friendly crowd, made better with Toni’s jovial personality! Toni, was an exceptional tour guide. Leading us through Lyon’s old town. He pointed out places we might, want to visit (that didn’t happen to be on our tour). We weaved in and out of the neighborhoods. Each pause, stop, a bit more exciting than the next. It was a wonderful tour. After the tour two others and myself, went back to a roof top recommendation and had a quick bite, and a cocktail in a beautiful green space. If you’re thinking about a tour. Start here! Toni (and his wife Maud-behind the scenes) is a gem!
If you're looking for an experience which goes beyond your typical tour - don't hesitate to book this.

5.00Toni was absolutely brilliant. His passion for history and Lyon was clear to see. Unlike some other tours, Toni was keen to make it personal for the group - he mentioned how someone on the tour loved architecture so he provided some really insightful info about this, plus he also shared some much appreciated tips on the best food to try. Toni remembered everyone's name and made a real effort to get to know you. I also really appreciated the mega list Maud shared after the tour which re-capped on the best places to visit, plus a guide to great restaurants and bouchins. If you're looking for an experience which goes beyond your typical tour - don't hesitate to book this. Thank you for showing us around lovely Lyon!
Excellent

5.00we had a small group walking tour of Lyon and were very happy to have Toni as our tour guide. Toni is very knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, and having a great sense of humor. We strongly recommend this tour to appreciate Lyon much more.

5.00Toni and Maud were great with information regarding the tour and the tour itself. Toni was the tour guide and he was excellent with information about the old ville area. We appreciated the time he took to educate us about Lyon history.
Fantastic and edifying

5.00What a fantastic and friendly tour of Lyon. We saw a number of sites and got an excellent history lesson of the sort that sticks. Toni was a blast. I have done a lot of research on Lyon and was able to add to my reservoir of knowledge as well as to make a number of "notes to self" for future reading and research. It was a clear day and we got to see Mont Blanc from the top of the hill at the end of the tour. I would take any number of Lyon tours from Tony.
Toni was extremely...
