Top Lyon Food Tours - page 5

Carine was our tour guide and was a very welcoming, interesting and interested as well as enthusiastic guide which made it a most enjoyable experience. We visited a number of venues including a Bouchon, my favourites were the sweet shop and charcuterie/cheese/Praline Sirup of Lyon shop belonging to Frederick because both places had very passionate people who gave us background history of their products

Paul was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. We saw many sites that one would never know about or fully understand. He was very pleasant and helpful. At the end of our time, he even gave us a list of suggested restaurants. One suggestion is to go up the basilica on the funicular before the tour starts. Give yourself at least 1.5 to 2 hours to see this beautiful area. Then, come down and start the tour with Paul. We did this and it worked out perfectly.

This tour is definitely worth the money! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the culture and history of Lyon. All of the stops were incredibly informative and interactive. I loved everything from the cheese and chocolates to the silk: the wine was also delicious as was the samples of traditional lyonnaise cuisine.

My husband and I spent a wonderful 4 hours exploring Lyon with Olga, and she truly went above and beyond. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and quirky fun facts, but she was also so patient and polite with all our questions. What really blew us away was her care for our experience outside the tour. She recommended a fantastic local Lyonnaise restaurant, called to make a reservation for us mid-tour, and even walked us inside to translate the French menu into English! Olga is fun, professional, and deeply caring. If you’re in Lyon, do yourself a favor and book with her.

We have Madeline (I’m horrible with names) and she was 10/10. Knowledgeable, funny and was able to answer every question. 90% of the tasting is the instructor with the last 10% being the people who are also in the class and maybe we lucked out but it was a great time, full of laughs and was worth it. Food was phenomenal, great snacks and the wine was delicious. Not snobby at all and lots of learning about French wines. Would recommend to anyone who has the time!

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!

Paul was an incredible guide — friendly, informative, and full of fascinating insights about Lyon’s history and culture. He made the city come alive with his storytelling and genuine enthusiasm. On top of that, he shared fantastic local food recommendations in the best neighborhood, which gave us the perfect plan for where to eat afterward. Everything he suggested was absolutely delicious! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Paul to anyone visiting Lyon!

I always like to get oriented in a new city with a guided tour. E-bikes obviously give you a wider range and this was a great choice for starting our visit to Lyon. There are two and four hour options. If you do the two you cut off the snack stop and the climb to the Notre Dame Basilica. I am glad we did the four hours but know that most of the real value is in the first two hours. The food tasting is only on the four hours and it is not a food tour: just a stop for sausages, pickles, bread and a drink. For some reason we thought this was also a food tour so we had cancelled our dinner reservation. Our bad!
