Our guide Anna was excellent. We enjoyed learning about the Lyonnaise food and culture from her. The walk through Vieux Lyon was one of our favorite activities in Lyon. We enjoyed each stop we made. The hosts at each location were very hospitable. Would recommend this tour.

This was such a cool experience during our time in Lyon. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the city, stopped and explained little hidden gems, and gave wonderful recommendations throughout the tour on where to shop, eat, etc. All of the stops were great and the food was amazing. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Lyon. (Tip: do this tour towards the start of your stay in Lyon so you can go visit all of the recommended places in the following days!)
Generous food and delicious. Anna our tour guide was especially knowledgeable and fun. Wear comfortable shoes!
Natalie was a fantastic tour guide who shared her love of the city with us. She gave us an excellent overview of the food and history!
Nathalie was very knowledgeable about the area, the food, and the culture, and an enjoyable person to be around!
Comfortable footwear and an appetite required. Experience local foods with an informative host. Discover places on foot that you wouldn’t find yourself, get the background information and enjoy a fun evening with other like minded tourists.
Our "Lyon Sunset Tour—A Full Taste of France" with Do Eat Better was an absolute highlight of our trip, all thanks to our incredible guide, Nathalie! From the very start, her warmth, charm, and vibrant energy made us feel right at home.Nathalie's deep knowledge of Lyon's culinary history and local culture is truly impressive. She didn't just hand us food; she shared the fascinating stories behind every single local dish, neighborhood tradition, and legendary Michelin chef. We loved exploring the city's famous hidden historic passages (traboules) and stopping at scenic spots while the sun was setting.Every single food and wine stop was carefully selected and delicious, from the iconic pink pralines to the authentic local charcuterie. Nathalie went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group was happy, engaged, and well-fed. She even gave us an amazing list of local restaurant recommendations for the rest of our stay. Do not miss this tour, and if you are lucky enough to book, cross your fingers that you get Nathalie!

Thanks to our guide Nathalie it was a wonderful experience. Not only did we visit little establishments offering a variety of great cheeses, charcuterie, traditional foods of Lyon including quenelles and the brioche praline she led us through some of the fascinating traboules, hidden passageways of old Lyon that you would never know existed if you didn’t have a guide like Nathalie.

Our food tour was amazing! Our guide, Nathalie, was incredibly knowledgeable. She was clearly very passionate about Lyon and food. We loved the food throughout the tour, and the recommendations that she provided throughout the tour and after the tour were wonderful. We left completely stuffed!
This was a really great tour. You have a some cheese to start plus wine, then some meat, more cheese and wine, and then you have a full sit down dinner plus a bakery item for dessert and a stop at this really cool bar at the end for a liquor tasting.
This is a great food tour around Lyon. Especially the old part of town. The food in this part of France is amazing and all produce is of a high quality. There were great stories about the area and the food we tried. There was a huge desert to take home at the end. We also had great recommendations on food markets and other things to try.
Nathalie was our enthusiastic guide through old town Lyon’s gastronomic delights. Wines,meats,cheeses,dishes local to this area. Nathalie also tied the special history of Lyon to its food. Loved this tour!
Great tour to understand the cuisine of the region, taste a lot of unique foods and visit places you would never know about on your own. Do this tour instead of dinner.
