Lyon Food Tour - We spent two weeks in France: Paris, Dijon and Lyon. Our Food Tour with Elizabetta was one of the highlights of our vacation. The combination of culture and food is what France is to us and this tour had both - and Elizabetta was passionate about France and all that Lyon had to offer. We will specifically request her the next time we come!

Perfect way to get to know Lyon with a local. - Nathalie was our guide and she was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour around the city was wonderful and she showed us many things we would not have found on our own. At the end of the tour she gave us many suggestions for places to visit during our stay, then followed up with a personalized list of recommendations. Very professionally run and a wonderful way to spend the day.

Great tour - Nathalie was AMAZING! Her tour was a highlight of our time in Lyon.
The tourist so much more than just food (and some wine). She shared some of the history of Lyon as we walked from stop to stop. After the tour she was kind enough to share suggestions for restaurants and other activities during our stay.

If you're visiting Lyon and considering a food tour, do yourself a favor and book with Nathalie—you would be absolutely crazy not to! This was hands down one of the best tours my wife and I have ever taken, and it made our trip to Lyon truly unforgettable.
From the moment we met Nathalie, her passion for Lyon’s rich culinary heritage, culture, and history was evident. She is an absolute expert in French gastronomy, effortlessly weaving together fascinating stories of the city’s traditions with stops at some of the most incredible local spots. Every bite we tasted felt like a journey through time, and every moment with Nathalie was engaging, insightful, and just so much fun.
She curated the experience perfectly—introducing us to hidden gems, legendary bouchons, and artisanal producers that we never would have found on our own. Not only did we savor the best local specialties like quenelles, praline tarts, and world-class chocolates, but we also learned about the history and soul behind every dish.
Beyond just the food, Nathalie made us feel like friends rather than just guests on a tour. Her warm personality, deep knowledge, and infectious enthusiasm for Lyon made this experience truly exceptional.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Nathalie deserves all the recognition (and a great bonus!) for making this tour an absolute highlight of our time in France. If you're in Lyon, booking this tour should be the first thing you do—you won’t regret it!

A weekend in Lyon - Our guide was Toné. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the history and culinary techniques that made Lyon the gastronomic capital of France. Enjoyed meeting the small business owners he introduced us too and the food we tried. Just wished the tour included some time in Les Halles.
