We took the Pastries and Stories of Lyon tour with our local guide Anna. We enjoyed the tour very much as we stopped at a number of shops within the historic Lyon area and Anna gave us the histories of the pastries and a lot of insight into the area. Anna is a great guide, very personable, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with her and would highly recommend the tour to anybody visiting Lyon.

Don’t eat before you come! Rich and tasty pastries will fill you up. Luckily you get a good walk and some history while you eat! Anna is a great guide and is flexible. Would highly recommend.

What a wonderful experience!

This was a wonderful to pass the afternoon! Anna spoke excellent English, was charming and knowledgeable. She took us to 5 pastry shops that I doubt we would have found on our own- plus (1) hidden surprise! I would highly recommend this tour with Anna.

A delicious tour!

We loved this tour! The food was excellent and the portions were huge -- got to take home some leftovers that were *divine* even a day later. Anna was knowledgeable and so helpful, she kept our 5 and 7 year olds entertained with scavenger hunts as we walked around. Would highly recommend!

Hi Mona, thank you so much for your feedback regarding the Pastry Tour, I'm glad your kids also enjoyed it by spotting all the street arts in town! All the best! Anna
