Didac the STAR! - It was a truly hot afternoon and the guide, Didac, called to know if we wanted to delay the start, very kind but we had an Olympic game later that evening. Upon our meeting, Didac was able to shift and do more history than music and we greatly appreciated. Didac is an EXCELLENT guide with soooo much knowledge and ease to all that he did! Highly recommend any tour by him and we will use his again!

Relaxed, walking tour - Relaxed walking tour with very personable, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Accompanying music enriched experience. Wine tasting was tailored to personal likes as far as they corresponded to local wines. Weather restricted content but overall well worth going on.

Best night in Lyon! - Our tour guide, Didac, was amazing. Very knowledgeable, fun and eager to please. He mentioned that all his tours are different and spontaneous; he lived up to his word. We ending the evening at an unscheduled jazz session at the oldest jazz club in Europe. Spectacular!

Best way to experience Lyon - Excellent adventure! He explained all the history of Lyon and paired it so well with music to bring that time and the experience to life even more. So cool! And, the wine was fantastic (and well deserved after the walk along the city hills). We stopped at such a wising place with all natural wines and the staff suggested a few options based on my preferences. Great experience and I’d highly recommend!

Not as advertised - Guide was knowledgeable and well prepared. Tour description was misleading. Per description I was led to believe that entrance fees were included to 3 locations that don’t actually charge for admission. A full bottle of wine was included with the tour but there was no food provided or available to have with the wine. When I contacted viator and the tour guide to suggest that the tour wasn’t a good value for what was provided the tour guide responded unprofessionally saying that I got a private tour for the money when in fact it was intended to be a group tour and I was the only person to have signed up for the tour that evening. Response from viator was disappointing as well and I reached out multiple times to multiple representatives. Would not take a tour with this operator again.

Neat experience but not what was expected - Music history of Lyon however I expected some live music. We also thought wine would be included but they charged extra for it.
