Best guide in Lyon! - Aurore greeted us in the City Centre and we walked old town Lyon with her for 3 hours. Prior to the trip she asked what we wanted and she visited every place we wanted. We tasted bakery goods, chocolate, beer, wine and of course cheese! YUM! We learned so much about Lyon and it's history. I would highly recommend Aurore, she was great!

Lyon Private tour - Our guide was Joseph, he is Lyon local. He was able to walk us around the city to explore sites from 300 ad clear up to 1800’s. He explained the change in architecture and building materials. He was fantastic. We even sampled the local bread.

Not very informative - While our guide was very nice but she didn’t talk much which is not that great for a tour. She took us to some museums and we also paid for her entry to the museums. While she was very nice it was not much more than we would have done on our own if plus paying for another adult entry to 2 museums.
