Best tour guide - What a great tour! Konstatin is a great guide. He had lots of information about Lyon, and he’s quite articulate. He is interested in history and knows much about it. We especially enjoyed the basilica and the nearby ruins. And the tranboules! A highlight of our visit to Lyon.

Best thing we did in Lyon - We loved this tour. Konstantin was so kind and generous with his knowledge and time - up until meeting him we were very disappointed with Lyon. Konstantin renewed our faith in the city and introduced us to a bunch of traboules that we would never have found on our own. He walked us all around the city and offered many suggestions for further activities to do over our next few days. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Konstantin.

Amazing Guide - Our guide Konstantin, was a fountain of knowledge. He was passionate and could make interesting comments that showed his ability to synthesise different ways of explaining the development of Lyon. He had a wonderful dry sense of humour. We would recommend taking a tour highly.

Highly recommended! - Perfect! Highly recommended. Konstantin is extremely knowledgeable, flexible in terms of route and can get you into places you normally cannot get into. Not to be missed. You will have an entirely changed (and enhanced) perception of Lyon.
