Great Day 1 in Lyon - This tour was a great way to learn about the history of Lyon and see the major sights. Our guide Romain was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Lyon’s long and interesting history. After the tour we felt more acquainted with the lay out of the city making it easier to decided what we wanted to do with the rest of our time here.

Excellent tour through Lyon - Roman was an excellent guide and took us through Lyon with a lot of knowledge of the area. He was very good with my 11 year old son and four year old daughter. We had a great time and he showed us an amazing brioche spot! Thank you Roman.

Unforgettable Lyon: A Walking Tour with Romain - We had a fantastic time on our walking tour of Lyon with our guide, Romain. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems brought every street to life. From Roman ruins to secret traboules, Romain’s storytelling made it unforgettable. He was warm, engaging, and full of fascinating insights that made us appreciate Lyon even more. It felt like exploring the city with a local friend. Highly recommended for anyone looking to truly experience the soul of Lyon. Merci, Romain — we loved every minute!

Fantastic guide and morning in lyon - Fantastic morning. Romain was great with the kids. Really saw the difference of personalized experience vs seeing some of the giant river cruise tours who were in town the same day. Was very flexible and took us to some great spots with solid recommendations for other places to see.

Wonderful Lyon introduction! - We highly recommend this tour with Romain. We took the tour the day we arrived in Lyon to get an overview of the city so that we can explore on our own the next few days. Romain was extremely knowledgeable about the city as well as historical events which shaped the city and its culture. He was also a very nice guy! If we didn’t take this tour, I don’t think we would appreciate the city as much as we do now. We are now armed with a whole list of things to do and restaurants to go to. Thank you Romain!

Seniors - This is the guide for you. - Romain was the best guide we have had during our entire trip to France. He was knowledgable, friendly, and allowed us to go at our own pace. If you are seniors, I would highly recommend you let him guide you through Lyon.

Excellent - Romain was a delight! He was so knowledgeable, funny and excellent. He even took me place that tourists usually miss but are at the heart of Lyon's story. Romain also gave me restaurant recommendations which was super helpful and he was spot on. I can't recommend him or this tour more highly!
