Great intro to Lyon! - Paul is a highly knowledgeable and engaging guide who really brought Lyon to life. My friend and I were lucky to join his tour early in our stay, which led us to book an excellent restaurant for dinner on rue de Boeuf the following evening. Paul also provided a useful intro to the Traboules and the history of silk in Lyon. Overall, he gave us an excellent overview of the city, and left us all wanting more... Highly recommend!

Great free walking tour! - Paul was a great tour guide - so good that we took his other tour the next day. He knows the city well and we appreciated his dry sense of humor. Would highly recommend both tours as they did not overlap and we got to explore two different parts of the city.
