5.00Great tour!! A friend and I were visiting from New York, and were going to be in Lyon for 2 nights. The tour was perfect— two hours, lots of yummy food, and good history lessons. It was a perfect way to explore the city. We even had food to take back with us! Anna was wonderful and helpful to us. Highly recommend!

5.00We had a fantastic time on the Pastries & Stories of Lyon tour with Anna. My son and I both really enjoyed it and learned so much thanks to Anna’s vast knowledge and engaging storytelling. We tasted some wonderful Lyonnais specialties and discovered unique places we would never have found on our own, all while hearing fascinating stories about the city’s history and culture. Anna is extremely friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. She made us feel very welcome, and went above and beyond by giving us excellent recommendations for the rest of our trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lyon who wants a fun, tasty, and insightful experience!
Great option to get up and close with old Lyon…

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.
