5.00Magdalena was a fantastic guide! She was so knowledgeable of the town, the hidden passageways, how to get to the top and see the cathedral. I never really used guides before, but now I am a believer. She did such a great job of making sure we got a great lay of the land and to see things we would have NEVER have seen on our own, no matter how good we are as travelers.
High-skilled guide

5.00We took part in the tour of the old city of Lyon with Clément and we were really excited! He is a trained, passionate and very nice guide. He made us discover hidden corners, historical curiosities and fascinating anecdotes that made the visit really special. His storytelling is engaging and conveys a great love for the city. Thanks to him we could appreciate even more the charm of the Vieux Lyon and its unique history. We absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Lyon in an authentic and pleasant way!
Wonderful city and a guide full of wonders :)

5.00We were a big group having a tour to old Lyon and Presqu-ile with our guide Jeremy and enjoyed every minute with him in this 3 hour tour. Beautiful city of Lyon (there is more here than meets the eye!) and a knowledgeable, experienced, flexible and very sympa guide Jeremy were a perfect combination. We will all return to Lyon one day again. Thank you for a truly beautiful and worthy experience.
Immersive, educational and fun!
