Food is undoubtedly one of Lyon's most beloved traditions. Since 1935, the city has been considered the world capital of gastronomy. When Lyon's culinary traditions were being forged, the famous "Mères Lyonnaises" (Lyonnaise Mothers) managed to turn Lyon cuisine into an institution. Today, male chefs dominate the scene, like the famous Paul Bocuse, however it is the women who evolved the renowned cuisine. Many of the recipes around the city are unchanged from their humble beginnings, meaning you'll have the opportunity to taste the culture and history that has turned Lyon into the culinary hub it is today. We'll guide you through this gastronomic journey infused with passion, history, and exquisite French food and wine. Find out why eating and drinking are not just a pastime in Lyon, but a way of life.

5.00Nathalie was probably my favorite tour guide for my two week adventure in France. We hit many fine places to eat, and learned some history along the way too. I even got two excellent dinning recommendations from her. I am so grateful for the experience and would do it again!
Disappointing.

2.00The guide (Sib) was wonderful but the tour was just meh. Given this is the culinary heart of France, we expected much more savoury. Instead we got a run down of the main street's offerings and a sidetrip to a chocolatier. The worst part was the restaurant where we had 'lunch'. The tour groups traipsed in and out. The food had been prepared en masse and was pretty flavourless. It was very disappointing.
10/10, Lyon Tour with Sib is IT!!

5.00Terrific! These tours can't be beat. We had Sib as our guide-- 10/10, no notes, could not recommend her enough. Great pacing, lovely commentary. So kind, funny, knows the area like the back of her hand. Her relationships with the local shop owners speak for themselves-- everyone loves to see her coming. I was so impressed, and had SUCH a great time. Not to mention the yummy food!!
Wonderful personal experience

5.00Anna was a wonderful guide for our small group of 7. She provided a thorough history of the history of the food of Lyon as well as a great sampling of the dishes specific to this region.
Excellent stroll and tastings in Vieux Lyon
