What are people saying about Lyon

Knowledgeable Guide - Wish there was more food
It was a great tour, and I gave it 5 stars, but I did want to explain a little further for people so they have a full sense of what they are getting into. I don't think it deserves 4 stars... but I do wish it had been a little different. Our guide was great, super knowledgeable, LOTS of history about not just food but also the area. So think of it more as a walking tour + some food. There was a lot of food, but I had a friend do the Secret Food Tour the day before and they got more food and more local food. The ice cream and sorbet we got, while good and a local product, I wish we had tried the traditional Lyon candies that I had heard about from my friend who did the other tour. I left feeling like I learned a lot more than I ate... I've done Secret Food tours in other cities and I do regret not booking that one instead.

Great food and history tour, but some Americans may not actually like the food.
As food tours go, this was excellent. Great guide, lots of different tastings. Also, by luck, a very nice small group of around 8 people.
I think the negative reviews that I've read about for this tour are actually a reflection of the local gastronomy. "La cuisine Lyonnaise" is very heavy and may not appeal to American palates. It's very different than what we think of as "traditional French."
For example: we tasted a lot of sausage - much of it made from parts of the pig that Americans simply won't go near.
I would certainly recommend this to anyone who really wants to understand the food of Lyon.

Great tour for all types of wine drinkers.
Great wine tour for beginner or experienced wine drinkers. Our group of 4 included both novice and experienced wine drinkers. We all had a great time and learned so much. Our guide, Francois, was very knowledgeable but not at all pretentious. He thought so about the region, the history, and the process of winemaking. The vineyards selected were friendly and beautiful. All the wines were high quality. All in all an excellent tour with a fun and friendly guide. Great value for the price. Would recommend.

Great tour with teens
Paul was an excellent tour guide! My entire family (including two teenagers) really enjoyed learning about Lyon. Definitely worthwhile!
Be sure to bring cash as we wish we had more to give him a bigger tip as we didnt realise that is how he makes he much deserved wage!

Fun Food Tour
Great food tour. Our guide, Natalie was friendly and knowledgable. We began the tour with different cheeses which were described well and delicious. There was plenty of water and wine offered throughout. Comfortable seating at each stop. We ended the tour with ice cream and had to guess the flavors which was fun! We also got a great overview of the history and culture of the area.

Justine is amazing
Justine is an absolutely fantastic tour guide. She is warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with wine. Her French and English are both excellent, and apparently she speaks some Spanish as well! Highly recommended for anyone who wants a fun, relaxed, and unpretentious wine tasting experience in Lyon

The food is absolutely...
The food is absolutely delicious! The shop owners are knowledgeable and relate the history of the food through storytelling. They are engaging and rightfully proud of their craft. Our guide, Charlie, was exceptional. He truly seemed to enjoy guiding us through Lyon.

Perfect Fit.
Perfect fit. Starting with a relaxing e-bike ride you get to cover some highlights of the city. Our guide Leon was very knowledgeable and considerate. Following the bike ride that showed things we didn’t expect. Lyon really has a lot more to offer than we first thought. Then we ate some local meat, cheese, and wine. Got to hear the history and regions of how they are made. Finally a walk through old Lyon. Definitely a must do excursion.

Wonderful evening food and cultural tour of Old Lyon with a knowledgeable and charming guide.
Thanks to our guide Nathalie it was a wonderful experience. Not only did we visit little establishments offering a variety of great cheeses, charcuterie, traditional foods of Lyon including quenelles and the brioche praline she led us through some of the fascinating traboules, hidden passageways of old Lyon that you would never know existed if you didn’t have a guide like Nathalie.

Lyon Walking Tour with Ashley
When we arrived in Lyon by boat, the Viator Guide was very flexible in establishing a convenient meeting place. Ashley met us at a hotel near our docking area. She was fantastic and her English and French were easily understood. She took the time to understand our points of interests and our walking tour encompassed all. She was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend meeting Ashley! Thank you for introducing us to Lyon!

No. 1 Tour in Lyon
Paul was friendly and approachable throughout the tour. He was so knowledgeable. The most interesting thing was the hidden passages in the city centre, we won’t know it without Paul. He talked about history, food guides, culture, news and funny stories. My wife and I liked this tour very much, we joined his next tour on Sunday too (different angles in rain to walk around Lyon). Highly recommended, can't miss it and we will come back in the future.

A fantastic and engaging wine tour!
We had the most fantastic afternoon on the wine tour with François. We visited two vineyards and the hospitality from the winemakers was excellent. François was so knowledgable and engaging. We came away knowing so much about the Beaujolais and got to taste plenty of fantastic wine!!! A fabulous day and we would definitely do another when we are in the area again. Thank you François!
