Foody-goodness! - We are from Australia and wanted a different experience to simply walking around the sights. And this tour delivered!
The tour-guide, Elisabetta, was excellent, knowledgeable and spoke English very well.
We loved "first course" of meats, Salamis and wine. Then a lunch of local Lyonnaise traditional meal, with candies and chocolate to finish.
Who couldn't be happy with that?!
Thank you Elizabetta for a great tour!

More than food, history and significance of Lyon. - The food was great, but the “unexpected” value was the tour guide, Elizabetta’s knowledge of the history of the area and answering various questions. For example, on the food tour, we also learned about silk trade and saw silk worms at work in a shop! She gave us all recommendations for things to do relevant to our interests and was a wealth of local knowledge on any topic we asked about. We progressed from old to new Lyon. It was a wonderful experience. +bonus: we are huge Star Wars fans and the host recommended a cinema museum nearby that happened to have an original Darth Vader helmet used in Episode 5 in circulation during our visit! We highly recommend Elizabetta and are so thankful we chose this tour with her!!
