Great afternoon food tour! - Very enjoyable afternoon! Knowledgeable guide the secret pathways were a revelation! Lovely food and wine! One of the stops at BMD wine shop was so enjoyable we went back the next day and tried the wine flight and more food! We always try and do a food tour you get great recommendations and get to try things outside your comfort zone! It’s nice to meet people from other countries and share the experience.

Amazing experience that we hope to repeat with our stomaco!. Good food, good company, great learning experience. - The food was amazing and e enjoyed sampling new wine. Our guide was engaging - a little too snarky initially, but overall fun, informed, and entertaining. She answered all our questions and added historical details that were helpful. The variety of foods was wonderful - start with an empty stomach!

Gastronomy and meeting! - Superb visit around Lyon gastronomy with our guide Nathalie. The exchanges were very fluid and interesting. Nathalie has been very good advice for the future Lyonise that I am! The meeting with the different merchants was very nice both from a gastronomic and relational point of view. Thank you so much!

Great Food Walking Tour In Lyon - Annais was a great guide, very informative regarding the history of the Old Town, the different foods we tasted and the area in general. All of the food we tasted was of a great quality and lots of it too. We had meats and a lovely red wine, then we moved to another venue and had the most amazing cheeses and white wine. We then had the most glorious local tart, which name I have forgotten then finished it off with a ice cream and sorbet competition to guess the flavours. The lovely little alleys we went down were so pretty and intriguing to see how live was in Lyon all those years ago. We also visited a silk shop and saw the old machinery for silk weaving, the different materials and how silk was produced were all covered. Can definitely recommend this walking food tour in Lyon

The tour to take - If you only go on one tour - this is the one. Our knowledgeable guide brought us into hidden basement dining areas and introduced us to the most passionate artisans. My favorite was the Fromagerie with the the best cheeses I've ever tasted.

Amazing Food Tour - This tour was very well done. It was a small group with an excellent guide. We visited four locally owned food shops, where we were given lots of interesting information, followed by tastings paired with wines. The quality and quantity of the food and wine tastings was above expectations. The whole experience was amazing.

Wonderful and YUMMY food tour! - My family (husband and teenage daughter) enjoyed every minute of our three hour food tour of Lyon. Our guide Nathalie was incredibly knowledgable and engaging. She provided lots of information about French and Lyon history, which is intrinsically woven into the culinary experience here. Seeing old Lyon with a guide enhanced our stay a lot. The food experiences were very well chosen and specific to the city, as well as delicious. We highly recommend this tour!

Pleasant brief tour of food shops - This is not a thorough presentation of French gastronomie but a very brief intro. The guide was friendly and somewhat entertaining. Beside food shops we also went to a silk shop.
