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!
Kim_K, Jun 2026
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.
Susan_N, Jun 2026

We had a wonderful introduction to Lyon because of our fantastic guide, Oscar. It was a great Gastronomical experience! Each of the wine shops and restaurants we visited had a unique ambience.
Brian_M, Jan 2026
The experience took us to four stops in Vieux Lyon, each offering a taste of the city—from cheeses and cured meats to wine and a main dish. Our tour guide, Maya, was personable and knowledgeable, sharing helpful context about what we were trying and its significance to Lyon’s culinary culture. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great introduction to Lyon’s cuisine.
Catherine_S, Dec 2025
Anna, the guide, really made the experience - she knew all the inside stories on the food of Lyon! The food was amazing and each selected place had their own specialty. We tried food that I would not normally try on my own and all were delicious. This experience does take a full 3 hours for the 5 stops. I highly recommend!

Lynda_G, Oct 2025
A great combination of excellent food and historic context, this tour was one of the highlights of our 16-day trip to France. Anna, our guide, was superb....knowledgable, pleasant, totally engaging. Loved every moment of our time with her.

While the tour guide did a great job explaining historical sites and information about Lyon, the tour company was very disorganized. The tour guide was apologetic for all the mishaps but for the price of this tour, it was way too expensive for what the quality of food. 2 of our stops were not ready for us, one had no deserts for us. We had to stop at another bakery to pick up a similar treat. The dessert was 2 half chocolates and 1 small chocolate (so 2 small chocolates total). Seemed very small for $175/ person. Personally, I've been on other great food tours but I would not recommend this company although the guide was very good.

We joined the Lyon Sunset Food Tour with 3 other people from USA. Our guide Stéphanie Charbit is great. She is very patient in answering our questions and explained well. The 6 (or 7?) types of cheese are delicious. The wine is good. The owner of the sausage shop is quite funny and told us about his journey that led him open his shop. The quenelle is tasty. And don’t forget the bread Stéphanie bought for us, it is very good.
judi_m, Sep 2025
Oscar was great! He knew the answer to all my questions and he was very nice. Loved the tour. I really enjoy learning about the city as we try the food. He handled a big group like a professional.
