Best Lyon Tour You’ll Find - Joseph was the best guide! We took a private tour and he took the time to learn about our goals at the beginning of the tour and tailored the pace and highlights to us. We learned so much about Lyon’s architecture, history, and culture. He is a trove of knowledge and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience!

A very informative morning with excellent conversation - Be specific about what you want. What interests you, and how long you’re willing to walk. My tour began early in the morning, and was in French. I saw the city wake up. I believe that a tour can be very flexible, which is so fun! My tour guide was Joseph, he was very knowledgeable.

Lyon bought to life - we loved it - Wow!!! The magnificent Paolo bought Lyon to life for us. We were passing through for a couple of days and this elevated the city. She’s enthusiastic, experienced and passionate - Latin buzz with attention to detail and patience. Thanks Paolo. We’re coming back for the festival of lights on your recommendation - room already booked!!! Highly recommend - don’t leave Lyon without a little bit of Paolo insight.

We had an amazing... - We had an amazing experience with Paola as our local tour guide in Lyon. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the city's history and culture. Paola walked us through the city, pointing out numerous places of interest and giving us great tips on how to experience Lyon like a local. Since we’re staying for three weeks, this tour was the perfect way to start our trip and get oriented. Her advice on local customs and how to blend in was especially helpful. Highly recommend her for anyone wanting an authentic Lyon experience!

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!
