5.00Overall, a fantastic experience and it was a great way for us to see the city. The food was phenomenal. I never knew I liked tripe until I tried it on this tour. The stops at the artisanal butter shop and the local bakery were amazing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Lyon’s rich culinary heritage.
