5.00We had a local by the name of Didac. He showed us so many things and places. He recommended restaurants for us. Bought us a very tasty pastry and saw so much around the beautiful city of Lyon.
Excellent tour, our guide...

4.00It was a really great tour! Our tour guide was awesome! A couple things that I believe are more of the fault of the operator company were they said breakfast was included (no breakfast happened) and that tickets for the Theather & Museum Guignol were included in the price however the tour was on a Monday and the Theater was closed. It would be great if the operator company reflected the tour price of what actually happens during the tour/what’s actually available.
Exceptional!

5.00Loved the whole experience. DIDAC was brilliant. He knew the history and we saw so much that we wouldn't have if we tried to do it on our own.

5.00Our tour of Vieux Lyon was more than we expected. Our guide, Dideck, was knowledgeable and very connected to the area. We explored secret passageways (traboules) that we would never have found on our own, as well as histories of the silk industry and the various Squares we walked through. We highly recommend.
Exceptional!

5.00This was an amazing tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and was able to very effectively cover the full history of Lyon in 2.5 hours. Included the well known sites including taking us up the funicular and through the puppet museum (after giving us the history of the importance). But it also included parts of the city we could never have found on our own such as hidden passages and a silk shop that showed the process for making silk (including live silk worms!) Highly recommend!
Didac was a perfect guide...

5.00Didac was a perfect guide for this activity. He was knowledgeable and very caring about Lyon and presenting the whole history. He asked about what we wanted to do, and also asked about any limitations we had. It was a totally great introduction to the city.
Lovely walking tour...

5.00Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable! He took the time to find out what we were interested in and made sure to show us those things on our tour. He gave us great recommendations for things to do after the tour and for a good place for lunch. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour - 10/10
Loved Lyon!

5.00This is a great tour- very informative and a nice way to learn about Lyon’s history. Very in-depth and we were able to ride the funicular to the top of the city for some great views and to see the Notre Dame Fourviere Basilica and St. Jean Baptiste Cathedral. Great overview of its Roman past and ruins as well, along with mid evil buildings and secret passages (traboules). Must do before shopping and exploring in Lyon!
