Exceptional Lyon Walking Tour
2025-04-29
Jeremie provided the best possible walking tour. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke perfect English. His lively conversation and personal touches to our very small group tour made it very unique and special. Quite likely the best tour guide I have ever experienced!
Kelsy is the best
2025-04-17
We had a fantastic day! Kelsy was the best tour guide! The tour is quick and is meant for an overview of the area. I’m so glad we did it because I saw things I wouldn’t have known to go to. Kelsy was wonderful with our kids and even found a strawberry stand on the way back for our 7 year old. She gave us wonderful insights about the area and now we have ideas for other areas we would like to visit.
Très belle expérience

Superbe moment en famille grâce à notre guide Vincent qui a rendu notre visite aussi instructive que sympathique. Entre anecdotes et bons plans gastronomiques, il nous a donné une mine d'informations sur l'Histoire de Lyon, des Gaulois à Klaus Barbie. Si le montant reste conséquent, nous n'hésiterons pas à faire appel de nouveau à son service. Cordialement. Johan
