Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hello Donald. Thank you for your review. This tour is a 4-hour tour, including a private guide, a private demonstration of Lyon silk, and tastings. As our description indicates, a large part of this tour takes place in the historic pedestrian center of the city. It is therefore logical not to be able to access it by car. On the other hand, we are not lying since it is never indicated anywhere that a vehicle is available, and that seems unimaginable at this price! Finally, our guide, who was there to meet you, explained this to you well, and offered you alternatives. All our partners were well booked and paid, as well as our guide, and we are not responsible for your desire not to make the planned visit.
