Great walk with wonderful guide
Our tour guide Manel was wonderful. She knew so much about Lyon and its history and its place in French and world history. It was such a pleasure learning from someone who loved the subject so much. The walk was easy, and we saw many beautiful sights and found many places to eat the local specialties.

Highly recommend this...
Highly recommend this tour! We enjoyed a fun and informative tour of Lyon with Tony who is the perfect person to guide us through the most interesting places in Lyon! His knowledge of the history of Lyon was remarkable and delivered in a convivial, relaxed and fun manner. Not only did we enjoy the tour, but he also took note of the places we would be traveling to on our trip and Maud sent us many great suggestions for Lyon and the towns we would be traveling to next. All around great experience and we highly recommend this tour!

Make sure you are hungry before taking this tour
Sybil gave a wonderful old town food tour to me and the other American couple in this evening group. I learned a little history about this area of Lyon, got some great tips about must see sights in Lyon and even found a secret passageway. We kept moving and eating with a sit down apéro at Pralyon, a charming bouchon, and a delightful dinner at Chez Brachon. The Cassolette de ravioles Sauce St, Marcelin takes a macaroni gratin to a much higher level of cuisine!We tried all the famous foods in Lyon, including the pralalune brioche from Pralus ( a must try!) and some very yummy sweets. Sybil told us the history behind everything we sampled which made the tour even more interesting. Highly recommend an old town food tour with Sybil. I wish she had a day tour where she showed you all the best foods all over Lyon!

Take this tour!
Justine was the perfect tour guide. She was friendly, concerned with our safety, professional and very knowledgeable. The wineries we visited were three and four generation wineries. We learned so much! And the wines? Such a lovely experience. One thing we learned was to visit in the morning when your palate is fresh.

Loved. This. Tour!!
This was one of the best guides ever and every place was fascinating. I loved loved loved this tour!! Our guide Lucy walked slowly for us and others who couldn't walk fast, she was patient and kind and interesting and knowledgable, spoke excellent English. Lyon has shot right up as one of my favorite cities and Lucy took us to some fabulous places, beautiful and interesting.

Favorite thing we did in Lyon
This was such a cool experience during our time in Lyon. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the city, stopped and explained little hidden gems, and gave wonderful recommendations throughout the tour on where to shop, eat, etc. All of the stops were great and the food was amazing. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Lyon. (Tip: do this tour towards the start of your stay in Lyon so you can go visit all of the recommended places in the following days!)

Great Early Morning Bike tour of Lyon
Nicholas was a great guide. He shared interesting information about the art and history along the route, which made the tour more enjoyable.
I chose the early morning tour at 9:30 a.m. because it was over 35°C when I was here, and it turned out to be a great choice. The breeze and early am from biking helped keep us cool.
The route starts on the west side of the Presqu’île and heads east through the Bellecour area. From there, we biked north along the east side of the Rhône to Parc de la Tête d’Or, where we did a loop around the park, passing the vélodrome and zoo, which is free. We then continued to the underground Tunnel de la Croix-Rousse, biking through it from east to west before heading back down to our starting point in the city centre.
The company also offers a seperate Old Town history and food tour, which includes a stop at Le Sirop de la Rue for wine and charcuterie in an underground cellar. Another great experience of Lyon’s history and food.

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.

Fabulous - book it - I'm so glad I did!
If you have the chance, do this tour. Kim is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, not just about the wines of the Rhone but in general. The two wineries we visited were very different than each other, as were their wines, and we had 7 tastings at each stop. We got to see the cellars and hear about the history of their wines. The scenic view stop on the way back was the icing on the cake - thoroughly recommend.

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!

Vineyard Experience
This was a very interesting tour. We visited two vineyards, and learned a great deal about the growing techniques. The vineyards do not use pesticides, and pick the grapes by hand- no mechanical pickers. The tour guide was excellent both in knowledge of wine and keeping to the schedule.
