This was a very good experience! Our guide, Didac, was very conscientious about the heat and crowds and made sure everyone was as comfortable as possible. He was very knowledgeable about Lyon and his passion for wine and music made the tour even better!

Delicious Wine

Francesca_P, Jul 2025

First...do not book this Tour for a Sunday- there were many venues we could not go to because they were closed. The Tour was very quirky and interesting and gave insights to the music scene in Lyon. The best part- was the Wine tasting...and we ended staying at the winery/restaurant for dinner which was so delicious.

Great Late Afternoon Tour

A unique experience

Victoria_M, May 2025

It was a tour that had additional information about Lyon I had not heard on previous tours. I think Didac missed his calling as a weatherman! Our tour started early. Once we were safely in the wine bar, torrential downpour started!

A unique tour blending city history with curated tunes, a fun silk studio visit and delicious wine tasting.

Marina_M, Sep 2024

I had the pleasure of joining the Music Tour, and it was an unforgettable experience. Didac’s deep knowledge of both music and the city’s rich history made the tour incredibly engaging. As we explored different locations, we uncovered fascinating stories about the city’s past, all while enjoying thoughtfully curated musical pieces. Dropping by the silk studio was also really fun, adding a unique touch to the journey. It was a wonderful way to learn about the city’s history through the lens of music, blending culture and entertainment seamlessly. The wine recommendations were outstanding, with a special introduction to a delicious orange wine that I had never tried before—it was a delightful discovery! The tour was a perfect blend of culture, education, and enjoyment. A must for anyone who loves music and wants to explore the city in a unique way!

Didac the STAR!

Wendy_D, Aug 2024

It was a truly hot afternoon and the guide, Didac, called to know if we wanted to delay the start, very kind but we had an Olympic game later that evening. Upon our meeting, Didac was able to shift and do more history than music and we greatly appreciated. Didac is an EXCELLENT guide with soooo much knowledge and ease to all that he did! Highly recommend any tour by him and we will use his again!

Relaxed, walking tour

Susan_V, Aug 2024

Relaxed walking tour with very personable, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Accompanying music enriched experience. Wine tasting was tailored to personal likes as far as they corresponded to local wines. Weather restricted content but overall well worth going on.

Not as advertised

Caryn_W, Jun 2024

Guide was knowledgeable and well prepared. Tour description was misleading. Per description I was led to believe that entrance fees were included to 3 locations that don’t actually charge for admission. A full bottle of wine was included with the tour but there was no food provided or available to have with the wine. When I contacted viator and the tour guide to suggest that the tour wasn’t a good value for what was provided the tour guide responded unprofessionally saying that I got a private tour for the money when in fact it was intended to be a group tour and I was the only person to have signed up for the tour that evening. Response from viator was disappointing as well and I reached out multiple times to multiple representatives. Would not take a tour with this operator again.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Sorry for your bad experiencie but: 1. You were only participant and this isnt not our fault if theres no more pepole. Could be more people but this day was only you so you get a private & customized tour. 2. We did an extended tour cause you were a newcomer on city and WE tried to adjust to your needs. 3.This is a wine tour not food tasting tour. 4. Very unfair to still reclaim a cashback. 5. Stops on tour could b change in function to your needs if you are only participant cause guide will find most adequate for you .

Great fun

Marybeth_S, Apr 2024

Dirac was very good. He was a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun tour guide. It was raining and he let us use his umbrella. Very kind! Merci.

Neat experience but not what was expected

Robert_M, Nov 2023

Music history of Lyon however I expected some live music. We also thought wine would be included but they charged extra for it.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Bonsoir, Thanks for your review. On that tour arrived a misunderstood. Wine tasting is included for sure. We sent you a cashback day after tour. Anyway our apologies for this misunderstood. Kind regards

Best night in Lyon!

Anna_M, Oct 2023

Our tour guide, Didac, was amazing. Very knowledgeable, fun and eager to please. He mentioned that all his tours are different and spontaneous; he lived up to his word. We ending the evening at an unscheduled jazz session at the oldest jazz club in Europe. Spectacular!

Great experience

michael_d, Sep 2023

Fantastic! We had a great time and learned a lot of fun facts about Lyon music and many local wines!

Wonderful evening

Eileen_M, Jul 2023

We had wonderful evening with Didac , it was like spending a evening with a friend. He is very knowledgeable about Music, architecture and wine. We stop for wine in a lovely cafe for our tasting and it was a perfect ending to a enjoyable evening.

A perfect mix of music,...

Allan_M, Apr 2023

A perfect mix of music, history, culture, and wine! A great tour to take while in Lyon with friends!

Fantastic and interesting experience

Joseph_P, Feb 2023

Didac was amazing and extremely knowledgable about Lyon and its history well beyond the scope of the tour. He was very personable and flexible, adjusting the content to our questions and interests. The wine was delicious as well. Overall, a very unique experience that is more than worth the time!

A MUST

James_S, Feb 2023

We had a fantastic time getting to know the best spots in town to shop to eat and drink wine of course! Our guide was excellent!!! I highly recommend because he looks out for you and provides you the most interesting info without talking your ear off

Fantastic afternoon!

Heather_L, Oct 2022

This tour with Didac is well worth your time. Beautiful sights, interesting facts and a stop at an amazing wine bar. Gray way to spend the afternoon.

We highly recommend this tour!!!

Heidi_B, Jul 2022

My son and I took the unique walking tour and really loved seeing a part of Lyon that we would not have seen. Our friendly guide was knowledge and we enjoyed the interactive music and wine tasting. 10/10.

Great introduction to Lyon!

Angela_W, Jun 2022

Didac was a fantastic host, and is very knowledgeable about music and about Lyon. The wine tasting fit perfectly with the tour and was just a great spot to stop. Overall, we began the tour with few expectations, and finished with a deep appreciation and fondness for Lyon!

Extremely informative

Walter_W, Dec 2021

Learning about the influence of architecture on the local music scene throughout various periods as well as the history as we visited many interesting places during our walking tour.

A great way to explore Lyon from a different - musical - perspective

Tim_B, Sep 2021

This was a great way to learn about Lyon through a totally different perspective - focused on musicians and composers who have lived and worked here through the years. Our tour guide - Didac - took special pride in this tour in that he researched and developed it himself. It was a great way to see the architecture and learn the history of the most interesting parts of the city. And it was topped off with a nice glass of wine at one of the up and coming wine bars in town. Altogether a great experience. Highly recommended!
