We booked a French Tour, and I am a native French speaker The guide had such a strong Catalan accent that we could not understand. His English was also strongly accented We finally settled on Spanish

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Claude, thank you for your return on that and sorry about this feeling your had. We shared with him straight away your comment. Unfortunately for this kind of things, it can be very charming for some people and annoying for the others. You were in the second part of the customers. Regards Joe

The guide started off at...

Jim_O, Oct 2022

The guide started off at the wrong location. He quickly recovered by showing up in a cycle rickshaw. The mixture of bikining and touring made the tour more entertaining. The guide was very knowledgeable of the Leon history and proud of the Lyonaise culture. The secret passageways and tiny museums offered a lot of details not seen on our own.

Old Lyon - City Tour

Brian_C, Sep 2022

Our guide Quentin Gabriel was excellent - full of energy, very well spoken (English) and history. Our tour of the old city was very informative - St. Jean, the shops and restaurants- outstanding. Would highly recommend.

Wir hatten die Führung in...

Liliane_B, May 2023

Wir hatten die Führung in deutscher Sprache gebucht. Aus Versehen war aber ein französischer Führer vor Ort. Er hat sich grosse Mühe gegeben und wir haben innerhalb unserer Gruppe übersetzt. Ein grosses Kompliment an den Führer!

Response from Host, May 2023

Hello Liliane, I am happy that the tour guide did its best, because I have checked again on your booking and the language asked was "French". Regards Joe

El mejor tour en Lyon

Diana_B, Feb 2023

Este ha sido un tour excepcional, con un alto contenido histórico explorando los rincones de la ciudad que no podríamos haber hecho sin la compañía de Diego, nuestro guía. Ademas de haber sido flexible y ayudarnos en adaptar algunos imprevistos de nuestra agenda, disfrutamos mucho de su compañía y su conversación con un alto nivel de investigación y conocimiento de la ciudad! Altamente recomendable.
