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.

Terrific Experience!

Zack_B, Jul 2026

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...

Walking tour in Vieux Lyon

An enjoyable walking tour in old Kyon with Lauren as our guide. We especially found the stories and experience of the traboules fascinating

Well worth the price

We were lucky to just be...

Carrie_M, May 2026

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.

Excellent tour with awesome details

Kari_L, May 2026

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.

Walking tour with Charlotte was a delight!

Joseph_C, May 2026

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.

Very pleasant tour guide

Derval_M, May 2026

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.
