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.

Tour of Lyon in Pedicab.

Victor_C, Feb 2026

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.

A must do!

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.

Loved this

Mette_S, Oct 2025

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

So much fun!

Sharon_C, Sep 2025

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!

Great decision!

Robert_E, Sep 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!)

The Best Tour Ever!

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!!

a tour of Lyon customized for our interests

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

Preview of the City

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.

Great experience

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.

A great experience

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.

Lovely Tour with Knowledgeable Guide

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!

Fun experience and guide

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.

Great way of getting to know Lyon

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.

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.

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.

Great tuk tuk tour of Geneva with excellent guide, Karim!

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.

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!
