Best way to see Lyon! - Excellent way to discover Lyon. Michael was the best driver and tour guide. We saw so much more than we could have imagined. Really appreciated the communication before the meetup time with directions, etc. i learned a lot and highly recommend this excursion in Lyon.

Great tour, would highly recommend - I've discovered and just love these pedicab tours. They are slow, fresh air, good explanations along the way, no windows in the way of pictures. May not cover as much distance as a bus tour but they can get places that busses can't and that is worth a lot. Michael was a wonderful guide, easy to understand, born in Lyon so really knew the city and some of the merchants along the way. Very accommodating of my mobility issues with ankle problems. I would definitely recommend.

Great way to see the old city. - The pedi-cab tour was the perfect activity on the afternoon we first landed in Lyon, after an overnight flight. The operator was super knowledgeable. And we felt like we learned a lot… without ever leaving our seats. For the price, it totally exceeded my expectations.

Best tour of Vieux Lyon - We had a fabulous tour around Vieux Lyon (the old town) with our guide, Michael. Michael was extremely knowledge and friendly and answered all our questions. He pointed out extremely interesting elements of Lyon we would not have seen or experienced otherwise. From seeing a silk loom, to the traboules, the history of the Lumière brothers and so much more. Best guided tour we have ever been on. Can’t recommend this tour and our guide highly enough.

Great tour! - My sister and I had a great time on our Pedicab tour today. Our guide was very knowledgable about the history of Lyon and showed us all the historical sights. We added a few other sights that we asked to see. He also gave us some suggestions for after the tour we thoroughly enjoyed too.

Great way to start your Lyon visit - Michael did a great job. He was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and entertaining. My only suggestion would be to make this a longer experience. Maybe 120 minutes at a higher price. I would have loved learning more and seeing more.

A fun way to see Lyon - Michael was a wonderful tour guide. We especially learned a great deal about the silk weavers. We were able to get to areas cars cannot go which was fun. We also walked into a hidden passageway - and learned that many of them were used by the Resistance. Went into the beautiful church St Jean with colorful stained glass windows and an astronomical clock. It was a fun two hour tour.

- Very nice tour guide. He even dropped us off at the location of our next tour and saved us a lot of walking in the extreme heat.
