Our guide Charlotte was great. Charlotte was funny, knowledgable and clearly loves Lyon and the surrounding areas.
Tour was a nice pace and v informative. And we got a list of recommendations at the end for places to eat etc which was very useful.
Charlotte speaks superb English, is highly personable and has an excellent knowledge of French history.
Informative tour at a relaxed pace. We learnt about the history of the city, the fabulous hidden laneways, architecture etc. We walked through the old town and stopped to visit interesting historical buildings that we would never have discovered on our own. Charlotte was delightful. She invited questions and was extremely knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour to other first time visitors to Lyon.
Excellent tour! Our guide Charlotte was knowledgeable and funny. Very helpful with restaurant recommendations and other bits of information!
An overview of Lyon’s highlights. Lauren was so personable and made the tour interesting and informative. Would highly recommend!
Lauren was so knowledgeable and we had a great time walking and chatting! Highly recommend the tour especially because of the small size. Great way to learn about different parts of Lyon.
We had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Lilou. She was engaging, friendly, and deeply knowledgeable about Lyon's rich history and culture. Her tour felt like a backstage pass to central Lyon's most interesting neighborhoods and sites. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning more from dedicated experts about this beautiful city.
Very informative introduction to the city and some of the highlights. The guide was knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful in answering questions and providing recommendations
First time in Lyon so good two hour orientation. Our walking guide spoke excellent English and had a good knowledge of Lyon. She was attentive to our needs. There were none in group of 4.
Wonderful tour of the older neighborhoods of Lyon. Lily was a lovely, engaging tour guide. Very clear communication. 5 stars!!
Very knowledgeable guide who took the time to answer all questions and find out about our interests.
She was personable, friendly, and funny.
A very informative tour, highlighting both the history of Lyon and the different periods of architecture.
An enjoyable walking tour in old Kyon with Lauren as our guide. We especially found the stories and experience of the traboules fascinating
Charlotte our guide was absolutely wonderful. Her English was excellent and her knowledge of the history of Lyon was very informative. She answered any questions we had and showed us places we would have missed on our own. We highly recommend this tour.
We were lucky to just be the two of us plus the guide. She was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We would never have known so much about Lyon if we had not gone on this tour.
Lauren was very hospitable and excellent in informing us with exact details we were interested in. So many questions answered and interesting places seen in to the detail. Thank you very much.
Our guide, Charlotte, was well prepared and spoke English beautifully. She was very informative. She communicated with us before the tour; how to recognize her, her arrival time, and where to meet. She answered all our questions. She was very personable and shared her experiences as well. Would highly recommend her and would use her services again.
Nicely paced walking tour with plenty (but not too much) information. Ideal for 5 of family with 3 teenagers. Charlotte was very pleasant and helpful with lots of tips.
