Our tour guide gave us a great understanding of Lyon and truly went above and beyond to make our experience amazing! Highly recommend!

By choosing a Pedicab guided tour, we covered more grounds in 2 hours than a 2-hr walking tour. Afterward, we were able to explore more grounds on our own.

Vincent was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, spoke great English. He showed me some hidden gems and I really enjoyed my tour with him - would highly recommend
Linda_F, Oct 2025
Great experience. Saw a lot of the city in a unique way. Guide was informative, knowledgeable, and very personable. Clear English spoken and very helpful. He altered the route to help with our schedule and treated us to a glass of wine at the end.

We had a great time with our guide, Mark. He was very informative and we learned a great deal about the history of Lyon.
Elizabeth_A, Oct 2025
A great way to see the city. Guide was fantastic. He met us at our hotel and provided a wonderful morning explaining the history and taking us to interesting places. Highly recommend this tour.
Melanie_D, Oct 2025
We had a great experience with Marc and this tour. He was very knowledgeable and provided insight on the history of Lyon. We booked this tour on our first day and now have a good understanding of the city's layout so we can navigate during our stay.

Knowledgeable guide, great experience The guide tailored the tour to us and gave good insights to Lyon history and some great recommendations

Victor picked us up at our hotel, right on time!
He took us all around Lyon, giving us great information, tips and recommendations. Told us all about the history of the city, and showed us all the interesting sites. It was such a great way to see the sites because we could easily stop to take pictures, and weren’t zipping by everything. Definitely the highlight of our visit!
Robert_E, Sept 2025
Mark was an excellent tour guide. His English wasn't the best but neither was our French! We understood him and he understood us, and that's all that mattered. He took us to places we would not have found on our own. We walked through a concealed traboule that no one would have known without a local. Very enjoyable two-hour tour. We highly recommend it. (Be prepared to be photographed constantly as tuk-tuk type vehicles are not a common sight in Lyon!)
Rita_L, Aug 2025
This is the only way to see Lyon. Our guide Mark was outstanding!! He took us to places that were interesting, historic and even hidden passages. Highly recommend!!
Judith_P, Aug 2025
Didek was wonderful on taking us places we hadn’t seen yet. In depth tours of silk makers and the park d’Oro, lovely areas he shared with us
Russell_E, Aug 2025
This was the first thing we did after settling into our Airbnb. Our guide tailored our trip based on what we were interested in (historical sites, not food or museums) seeing/doing. He divide the trip into 3 sections (Old Lyon, The Peninsula between the Saone & Rhone rivers, and East of the Rhone). He pointed out many landmarks and Point of Interests and suggested that we visit each section one day at a time on our own since we were in town for 3 more days. Very enjoyable 2 hour tour and will recommend it to anyone who is looking for an overview of the city before exploring on their own.
Heather_C, Aug 2025
Great way to get around the city especially when it is really hot. We had a fantastic tour of Lyon. We learnt so much along the way and never felt rushed.
Chris_P, Jul 2025
A wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable guide. We hit the hot spots and he advised me on areas to visit on my own. Two thumbs up.
AnaRosa_N, Jul 2025
I was in Lyon only for 1 day and decided that I can get the most of the day by booking a pedicab tour. What a wonderful Idea it was. My tour guide/pedicab driver was Vincent and he took me around the city to see many popular land marks but also some really amazing hidden treasures that you might miss if you are not looking. Besides learning and seeing the beautiful history of Lyon, I got to see some hidden passages used during the French Revolutions, old church ruins, beautiful statues and murals, and the old puppet theatre as well. Vincent was incredibly knowledgeable. He spoke about architecture and the history of the city. Truly a great decision if you do not have a lot of time in one city. Thank you Vincent for a lovely day!
Dana_S, Jun 2025
Wonderful guide who taught us so much about the city and its history. Highly recommend this way of traveling the city for an overview.
William_A, Jun 2025
Overall good tour but the driver was hard t hear because he did not turn to speak directly to us--soft voice talking into the wind.
melaniegough, May 2025
What a fabulous way of seeing Lyon for the first time. Vincent our driver was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. We did struggle a bit to hear what he was saying all the time due to the noise of traffic etc so they would benefit from a headset and microphone but it didn’t really spoil our experience. We saw places that we would never have found on our own. Thoroughly recommend to first time visitors to Lyon.
Syndi_N, May 2025
Our guide was great! Very friendly and informative. We stopped at several places along the way and were able to see many historical sites.
Sha_P, May 2025
We enjoyed this detailed tour, the ride and our guide. He was so friendly, informative and helpful with suggestions for the rest of our trip.
Tracy_F, Apr 2025
Great way to learn some history & see the sites especially great for people with mobility issues
Our guide was very polite & consiiderate
Highly recommend this activity
Kathy_D, Apr 2025
2 hour tour took us where and what we wanted to see. Guide was very informative, sometimes a little too wordy as we wanted to look around the area more. Would recommend this tour.
Neil_T, Apr 2025
Great way to see Lyon, the guide was excellent and very accommodating. Picked us at our Air B&B and toured the area. Informative and a preferred way to see the city without having to walk or automotive.
Carol_M, Apr 2025
Karim was excellent guide and host. Great stories about Geneva and history of all the must see location. I highly recommend touring Geneva with Karim. The tuk tuk was comfortable with blankets for the chilly weather, Evian bottled water and he took a souvenir photo for us overlooking Lake Geneva.
Selena_T, Mar 2025
Didac was a fantastic guide and gave great recommendations to Lyon. My Mother and I had fun and I highly recommend this tour as my mother does have physical restrictions with walking long distances.
ChristineK_T, Mar 2025
This was a wonderful experience. Didac is fantastic guide. I would suggest taking this tour when you first arrive to gain an understanding of what's going on in Lyon and where you should spend your time. Money well spent!!!
Joyce_R, Mar 2025
Very customized and flexibility by our guide was much appreciated! Didac is a local who knows every inch of Lyon & gives great insider tips.
Julia_M, Mar 2025
This was such a great tour. Didac is so knowledgeable and engaging. He took us to places we would have never known about and he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We wished we had booked three hours instead of two!
