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.

An experience not to be missed - We thank our pedal guide for his kindness, his enriching comments. I don't remember his first name but he took us to the funicular at 4pm on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. Joëlle and Bruno

Ideal tour in warmer weather - Perfect option to walking. Our guide was informative and made many stops to catch a snapshot. You could never walk the distance on your own - why try. Worth every penny. Don't forget to leave a tip - the driver earns it!

Greta way to sightsee. - Thoroughly enjoyable 2 hour pedicab ride with Michael who was very knowledgeable and informative on the city. Revealed things we had walked past and not known about the day before. Also was a plus that kindly dropped off nearer our hotel at the end. Would recommend a pedicab ride to see some of the city and learn more of its history.

An unforgettable historical tour of Lyon. - Birthday gift for my wife with 3 days in Lyon I had booked a 2h Cyclo Tour on May 22. No regrets my wife loved it. You want to know the history of the city of Lyon and discover unusual places then have no hesitation. Get yourself driven by Mikael. He knows his city by heart and will tell you his story without reciting his text with much naturalness which is pleasant and which I expect from a guide worthy of the name. In addition it is very good advice whether to eat or to visit some places (we have tested both). Thank you Mikael despite a rather uncertain time for this pleasant moment.
