Lovey old town with hidden treasures
Xuan_w
, May 2022
It was great to see all the hidden passways in the old town and Joseph gave us quite some historical info about the churches and how people lived here before. We were able to get a feeling of the city in two hours and now have an idea about where to explore more during the rest of our stay. Highly recommended.

Jorge was a phenomenal tour guide for Lyon, France. It was just what we wanted- a friend to show us around the city. He stayed late with us to make sure we saw all the spots on his list. One of the best tour guides we've ever had!

Good walk, a bit short

Good tour, but we didn’t have the time to walk through the covered secret walk ways. I felt if we hurry up a bit at the beginning, maybe we could cover that

Got a personalized, private, guided tour for a group tour price.
RSM2021
, Aug 2021
Our local guide Jorge was excellent. Prior to meeting, we communicated via email and WhatsApp to agree on a meeting place and what sites / neighborhoods we were interested in visiting and learning about on our tour. He met us promptly at the time and location of our choosing and took us to the sites we wanted to see while providing insights and background along the way. Beyond that, he even assisted us with using the metro and provided dinning recommendations (and even called the restaurant to made reservations for us).

Nuestra visita a Lyon no habría sido lo mismo sin nuestro guía Jorge. Teníamos solo un día para conocer esta maravillosa ciudad y se esforzó al máximo para que pudiéramos ver todo lo esencial. La visita fue amena y divertida y como extra nos indicó un bouchon genial para comer. Un millón de gracias Jorge. Ana García
