5.00We took the Pastries and Stories of Lyon tour with our local guide Anna. We enjoyed the tour very much as we stopped at a number of shops within the historic Lyon area and Anna gave us the histories of the pastries and a lot of insight into the area. Anna is a great guide, very personable, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with her and would highly recommend the tour to anybody visiting Lyon.
Highly recommend.

5.00I had the chance to do Anna’s Pastry Tour in Lyon and it was a real treat from start to finish! The tastings were delicious and the anecdotes Anna shared throughout the visit made the experience even more lively and original. We discovered the city differently, through its delicacies and its history. Anna was passionate, funny and captivating, you can't see the time passing. I recommend 100% for all sweet lovers and the curious who want to explore Lyon in a different way. And next time, I will test his gastronomy tour without hesitation! 🍰✨
AMAZING

5.00We took a ride with Anna and I must say I just LOVED it! We had the right to history, fun facts, little secret passages , all while enjoying pastries or pastries to fall! Anna knows the right addresses and knows how to communicate her passion. I really recommend! Ps: don't make the same mistake as us, be sure you didn't overeat just before the tour because these are not riquis samples!!!
What a wonderful experience!

5.00This was a wonderful to pass the afternoon! Anna spoke excellent English, was charming and knowledgeable. She took us to 5 pastry shops that I doubt we would have found on our own- plus (1) hidden surprise! I would highly recommend this tour with Anna.
The Best Way to See (and Taste) Lyon!!

5.00I had the best time on the pastry tour of Lyon with Anna! She took me all around the city to taste some of the most incredible desserts I've ever had. She was knowledgeable about the history of Lyon, and she was more than happy to share recommendations for the rest of my stay. It ended up being only me on the tour, and it felt like connecting with an old friend. Anna was so kind, thoughtful, and super easy to talk to--and of course she knows all the best places to eat around the city. I can't recommend this tour highly enough! Such a great experience!
